Supplements before fibroid surgery show promise in small study
NCT ID NCT06768086
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether taking a combination of EGCG (from green tea), vitamin D, and D-chiro-inositol for three months before hysteroscopic myomectomy improves surgical outcomes. 90 women with uterine fibroids were divided into two groups: one received the supplements before surgery, the other did not. Researchers compared surgery time, fluid use, and how completely fibroids were removed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), vitamin D, and D-chiro-inositol
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make hysteroscopic myomectomy faster and more complete for women with uterine fibroids.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (90 participants) with no blinding or placebo, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The supplements may not meaningfully improve surgery outcomes.
