Cyclical Mastalgia
Supplements studied for cyclical mastalgia.
Overview
Evening Primrose Oil is the most-studied supplement here (13 studies, DEX Score 44), but better trials found no clear breast pain reduction versus placebo; some smaller studies suggested possible benefit at 1–4 g daily. One small trial reported more pain relief when combined with vitamin E.
Fish Oil (DEX Score 32; very low effect size, low evidence, medium trust; one study) did not outperform placebo at 3 g daily for six months. Overall evidence is limited and inconsistent for cyclical mastalgia. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for full ratings.
