Supplements

Supplements can complement medical and surgical care by targeting pathways relevant to endometriosis and adenomyosis: inflammation, prostaglandins, oxidative stress, estrogen metabolism, nervous‑system sensitization, and gut‑immune balance. Evidence most often supports omega‑3s (EPA/DHA), curcumin, N‑acetylcysteine (NAC), melatonin, vitamin D, magnesium, and selected probiotics. Some botanicals such as EGCG or resveratrol are more experimental. The goal is symptom relief and overall resilience, not a substitute for Medical Management or Surgery. Nutrition strategies are addressed separately in Anti-Inflammatory Diet and microbiome care in Gut Health.

Guidance focuses on what each supplement may help with, commonly studied dosing ranges, quality standards, and how to use them safely with pain medicines and hormones. Safety matters most around fertility planning and procedures: some products affect bleeding risk, drug levels, or embryo safety. Learn how to choose third‑party tested brands, start low and track response, and coordinate with clinicians—especially if pursuing Fertility & Reproductive Health or recovering from surgery.
