A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT SHE TAKES VITAMIN E FOR HER HOT FLASHES AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE THEM ANYMORE. SHE SAID SHE STARTED OUT TAKING 800MG FOR A MONTH AND THEN WENT UP TO 1000MG. I ASKED MY DOC ABOUT IT AND SHE SAID THAT IT COULD HELP WITH HOT FLASHES, BUT EVEN THOUGH IN THE PAST DOCTORS SAID IT WAS OK TO TAKE A HIGH MG OF VITAMIN E, NOW THEY DON'T RECOMMEND IT DUE TO IT CAUSING LIVER TOXICITY. HAS ANYONE ELSE HEARD OF USING VITAMIN E FOR HOT FLASHES???

I've never heard of using vitamin E for hot flashes. I just wish they could come up with something that wasn't toxic in some manner. If this was a male problem, we'd already have a solution! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

I read in "Natural Menopause Solutions", that vitamin E is know for its antioxidant properties, and can also help arteries work better and reduce inflammation - all of which could improve hot flashes. They do however caution not to take over 400 IU a day; higher amounts could slight increase risk of dying early. They don't say what you'll die early of, I'm guessing liver problems, I don't know. I tried taking Vitamin E for a while and it didn't seem to help me. Maybe I didn't stick with it long enough, or didn't take enough. I only took one 400 IU capsule a day for about a week.
