Which supplements may help relieve endometriosis pain at home?

Omega-3 fatty acids and curcumin are among the more promising supplements for at-home symptom support because of their anti-inflammatory properties. Some patients also find magnesium helpful for muscle tension that can amplify pelvic pain. Early research suggests a potential role for N-acetylcysteine, or NAC, in endometriosis-related ovarian cysts (endometriomas), though it’s not a substitute for proper evaluation and treatment planning.

We encourage you to approach supplements the same way you would any medication because quality and dosing vary widely, and interactions can be clinically important. This is especially relevant if you take blood thinners, have gallbladder concerns, or have kidney issues. If you’d like, our team can review your symptoms, medications, and goals and help you decide which options are reasonable to try (and which to avoid) as part of a broader endometriosis care plan.
