From the vitamins you can take, you can take vitamin D supplements to check the vitamin D, especially in Northern Europe where we have problems with vitamin D all the time. They found that when they were injecting women with severe dysmenorrhea, severe Dyspareunia with just one injection of 300 000 vitamin D, the symptoms improved. If we manage to adjust our vitamin D level above 30 ml unit – this will be also helpful. Vitamin D it’s very helpful in decreasing the inflammatory storm from the endometriosis gland, it’s helpful in modulating your immune response, it’s very helpful in just steer your hormone secretion of hormones itself and your body so it helping your body to exclude it properly and just decreasing this inflammatory response in your body and affecting the quality of oocytes, affecting the quality of pregnancy itself later on. So, vitamin D level is very important and it’s a helpful endometriosis. This is one point. In Germany, recently, they tried omega-3 or fish oil capsules plus vitamin B12 on women with severe endometriosis and the symptoms decreased and on the other hand, they proved that alcohol consumption is very deleterious for endometriosis. So, they recommend that you stop alcohol because they noticed the dramatic response with endometriosis because it increases the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in your body.

Unfortunately, any research-based supplements have been shown to be helpful although, anecdotally lots of people do try vitamins, supplements, purified fatty acids and anecdotally sometimes people do find these helpful.
