Does Vit B6 Reduce Mastalgia? New Meta-analysis 09/2025
Mastalgia is a common breast complaint in reproductive aged women. Mastalgia can be separated into three categories: 1) cyclical, 2) noncyclical, and 3) extramammary. Vitamin B6 is often cited as a homeopathic (non-prescription/pharmacological) remedy for simple mastalgia. Does the published data support its use? A newly published meta-analysis sheds light on the subject.
