Summary

This study tests whether a daily supplement containing vitamin D, EGCG (from green tea), D-chiro-inositol, and vitamin B6 can shrink uterine fibroids in women who are eligible for surgery. Sixty women will take either the supplement or a placebo for three months. The main goal is to see if the fibroids get smaller and if fewer women end up needing surgery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural supplement option to shrink fibroids and help some women avoid surgery.
