Vitamin E

Vitamin E, has long been established for helping many menopausal problems especially hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations and vaginal dryness.

The dose of vitamin E generally taken is 200-600iu per day.

The combination of bioflavonoids, especially hesperidin, together with vitamin C (at about 1000mg of each per day) can also be useful for flushing and other circulatory problems.

Natural sources of vitamin E are plant oils (hemp, olive), seeds (linseeds, hemp seeds, sesame), wholewheat products (wholemeal bread, cereals), tinned tuna and asparagus.

Apparently vitamin E doesn't always work, but if you've tried all else, it's definitely worth a try! However try to get your vitamin E from natural sources as there is a bit of controversy regarding synthetic vitamin E.
