| Vitamin E can be very useful in the regulation of the menstrual flow; take 400 to 800 IU daily throughout the cycle. Increase by 400 IU two to three days prior to the onset of the menses and on the heavy days. If your bleeding is very severe vitamin E may be used at 800 IU every 4 hours while the bleeding is heavy. After several months of treatment the flow should be less heavy and the need for such high doses will lessen. |
| Evening primrose oil, black currant seed oil or flaxseed oil can be helpful in providing the needed materials to build adequate hormones. Use 1,000 to 3,000 mg daily of any one of the above oils. |
| Bioflavonoids can be supplemented to improve blood vessel integrity and circulation of blood flow to the area. Use in combination with vitamin C. The bioflavonoid dose is 200 to 500 mg 3 times a day. |
