A recent review looked at studies of nutritional supplements in the context of endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.


13 supplements showed promise:


🔹 Vitamin D

🔹 Zinc

🔹 Omega-3s

🔹 Curcumin

🔹 Quercetin

🔹 N-acetylcysteine (NAC)

🔹 Probiotics or Prebiotics

🔹 Resveratrol

🔹 Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)

🔹 Vitamin C

🔹 Vitamin E

🔹 Selenium

🔹 EGCG (from green tea)


Does this mean that every woman with pelvic pain should go purchase all of these supplements?


No


Pelvic pain is complicated and needs to be evaluated by a qualified healthcare practitioner. We do additional testing to understand the root cause. Then we tailor a targeted plan that often includes supplements—but not a laundry list like this.

Unlike 26 other jurisdictions within the United States (23 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), Georgia chooses not to regulate the practice of Naturopathy in any form. As a result, Naturopathic Doctors are not licensed healthcare providers in Georgia and the service of Naturopathy is educational in nature and does not replace the relationship of a primary care provider. In Georgia, Naturopathic Doctors do not manage pharmaceutical medications nor do they prescribe any pharmaceuticals. All information provided during the course of our service is intended to educate and empower each and every individual however, it is not intended as medical advice, nor is it intended to replace the advice of a licensed provider.
