Vitamin E is a nutrient found in many foods. It is also available as a dietary supplement. Vitamin E is important for many functions in the body, including cell signaling, immune function, and DNA repair.
There is evidence to suggest that Vitamin E may help to treat PCOS. One study found that women with PCOS who took vitamin E supplements for eight weeks had reductions in testosterone levels and improvements in insulin sensitivity compared to women who did not take vitamin E supplements. Another study found that women with PCOS who took vitamin E supplements for 16 weeks had improvements in markers of inflammation and oxidative stress compared to women who did not take vitamin E supplements.
