Endometriosis Supplements: What May Help
Supplements that may help endometriosis include omega-3 fatty acids, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), curcumin (turmeric), vitamin D, and magnesium. They support inflammation reduction and pain relief. Supplements complement, but do not replace, medical treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Do supplements cure endometriosis?
No. Supplements may reduce inflammation and ease symptoms, but they do not remove lesions or cure the disease. They work best alongside medical treatment.
Is turmeric good for endometriosis?
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties that may help. Some women find it eases pain, though research is still emerging.
