Endometriosis
Supplements studied for endometriosis.
Overview
Garlic tablets (DEX Score 56, one study) reported a 72% pain reduction over three months versus placebo when added to standard care, across pelvic, menstrual, and intercourse pain. Melatonin (DEX Score 48; low effect size, medium evidence, medium trust) at 10 mg daily for eight weeks reduced pain and analgesic use in some trials, but 20 mg daily showed no clear benefit.
Vitamin D (DEX Score 40; very low effect size, high evidence, medium trust) showed no meaningful benefit. Milk Thistle and N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) have uncertain effects from small or combination-product studies. The heatmap and evidence reviews below cover all five supplements.
