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.
