Study: Vitamin E Pill Eases Pain of PMS

Study: Vitamin E Pill Eases Pain of PMS: "A capsule containing a cocktail of ­essential oils and vitamins could make PMS less painful for millions of women - not to mention the men in their lives.

In tests, the natural supplement cut monthly symptoms by up to two-thirds, with minimal side-effects.

It is thought the pills, which contain a mixture of healthy fats and vitamin E, make the body less sensitive to a hormone blamed for much of the misery of pre-menstrual syndrome.

Although PMS is often viewed as a minor inconvenience, it affects around three-quarters of women - and up to 40 per cent of those say it damages their quality of life."
