The study participants had smaller fibroids, less than 4 cm in diameter. They took the following:
2 tablets of 25 μg vitamin D + 150 mg EGCG + 5 mg vitamin B6
No side effects. Decrease in fibroid volume of 37.9%. Control group had 5.5% increase over the same period.
Here are some good sources for each of these (note that these give higher amounts than were used in the study)
- Vitamin Code Raw D3
- Thorne Green Tea Phytozome (absorbs better than usual EGCG supplements)
- Vitamin B6
This combo makes a lot of a sense as when I was diagnosed with my fibroids I had low Vitamin D levels (but didn't find out about it until later), and also didn't yet know that I am MTHFR which means that I metabolize B vitamins poorly.
Much better alternative to "watch and wait". Wow, wish that I had known about this when my fibroids were first diagnosed.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
