Good morning Apparently, taking vitamin D with green tea (epigallocatechin gallate - EGCG) can be effective in treating uterine fibroids. There were even clinical trials on this subject in Italy and the USA, which confirmed a decrease in the volume of fibroids. However, I can't figure out what dosage to take. Can you give what doses are best to take and recommend the best preparations with the largest amount of active substances? Is vitamin D otherwise vitamin D3?

Indeed, the results of a scientific study published in one of the European scientific journals showed that supplementation of vitamin D3, green tea extract standardized for the content of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and vitamin B6 may be a promising method of treating uterine fibroids. However, it should be taken into account that this is one of the first studies of this type, and the study group consisted of only 30 women. The published results therefore form the basis for further research, not clinical recommendations. On the basis of individual studies, it is not possible to make recommendations for treatment, so I can not recommend you a specific dosage of the above-mentioned vitamins and green tea extract. In the study cited, patients were given vitamin D3 at a dose of 2000 U., green herabta extract standardized for 300 mg of EGCG and 10 mg of vitamin B6. The term "vitamin D" is under the term "vitamin D" includes two vitamins: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D2 is found mainly in mushrooms (mushrooms, shitake mushrooms, yeast). Sources of vitamin D3 are animal foods (milk, butter, fatty fish and egg yolks) and skin synthesis under the influence of sunlight (UVB radiation). Most of the preparations with vitamin D available in pharmacies contain vitamin D3. When it comes to vitamins, being guided by the highest possible content, especially in the case of vitamin D3, can result in its overdose and the onset of symptoms of intoxication. The recommended daily dose of vitamin D3 for an adult is 2000 U. - such a content of vitamin D3 can be found in many preparations available on the market, e.g. Ibuvit D 2000: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/105588/ibuvit-d3-2000-iu-kapsulki/apteki When it comes to preparations with green tea, you should always check whether the preparation in question contains an extract standardized for the content of a specific compound, in this case EGCG. An example of this type of preparation is the Dietary Supplement Olimp Green Tea Extract, containing 275 mg of EGCG in 1 capsule, i.e. an amount similar to the amount given to women in the aforementioned study: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/85900/olimp-zielona-herbata-ekstrakt-kapsulki/apteki Vitamin B6 in the dose administered to patients in the cited study can be found, among others, in the dietary supplement Vitamin B6 Apteo: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/6552/apteo-witamina-b6-tabletki/apteki
