Being Low in Vitamin E Could Worsen Your Period (and Endo) Pain
This EndoLife - A podcast by Jessica Duffin
Today we’re continuing with our series on endo and period pain and their associations with low nutrient levels. And I was going to make today’s episode all about vitamins, but there are so many vitamins to cover, that I thought it would be less overwhelming to break them up, so today, we’re starting with vitamin E.
However, before we get into today’s episode, if you haven’t listened to the previous episodes in this series then you’ll be missing some of the essential science behind endo and period pain, which will help you to understand how vitamin E plays a role.
