Preferred Label : Epigallocatechin Gallate/Vitamin D/Vitamin B6/D-chiro-inositol Supplement;
NCIt synonyms : EGCG/Vitamin D/Vitamin B6/D-chiro-inositol Supplement;
NCIt definition : A dietary supplement composed of the four ingredients epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG),
vitamin D, vitamin B6, and D-chiro-inositol, that may potentially be used to treat
uterine fibroids (UFs). Upon oral administration of the EGCG/vitamin D/vitamin B6/D-chiro-inositol
supplement, the active ingredients EGCG and vitamin D may work synergistically to
reduce proliferation, increase apoptosis, and remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM)
in the UF. This reduces its volume and improves menstrual bleeding and anemia. D-chiro-inositol
may increase insulin sensitivity, improve glucose tolerance, and affect reproductive
hormones and functions. Vitamin B6 is essential to red blood cells (RBCs), and helps
improve anemia and maintain normal blood glucose levels.;
