Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Vitamin E, particularly in its mixed tocopherol and tocotrienol forms, has some scientific evidence supporting its role in female reproductive health, though the evidence is not robust or conclusive. Studies have examined Vitamin E supplementation in the context of female infertility, menstrual health, and pregnancy outcomes. For example, some clinical trials have shown that Vitamin E supplementation may improve endometrial thickness in women undergoing infertility treatments, potentially increasing implantation rates. Additionally, Vitamin E’s antioxidant properties can help reduce oxidative stress, which is implicated in various reproductive disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis.

However, the majority of research consists of small-scale studies or adjunctive therapy trials, often combining Vitamin E with other micronutrients or antioxidants, making it difficult to isolate its specific effects. There is limited evidence that Vitamin E alone significantly improves fertility or other reproductive outcomes in otherwise healthy women. No major health bodies currently recommend Vitamin E supplementation solely for reproductive health unless a deficiency is present. While Vitamin E has a historical reputation as a “fertility vitamin,” this is largely based on early animal studies rather than strong clinical data in humans. Overall, the scientific rationale is plausible due to its antioxidant action, but the direct evidence is limited.
