Green tea supplements for fibroids shorts fibroidtreatment

A study suggests that the green tea compound, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), shows promise in treating and preventing uterine fibroids. The study focused on fibroid cells treated with EGCG, revealing reduced fibronectin and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) proteins. Researchers believe EGCG targets pathways involved in fibroid growth. However, caution is advised, and more studies, including clinical trials, are needed to determine optimal doses and potential side effects. The research aims to find a safe, nonsurgical therapy for uterine fibroids, a prevalent condition affecting many women.
