  "definition": "A dietary supplement composed of the four ingredients epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), vitamin D, vitamin B6, and D-chiro-inositol, that may potentially be used to treat uterine fibroids (UFs). Upon oral administration of the EGCG/vitamin D/vitamin B6/D-chiro-inositol supplement, the active ingredients EGCG and vitamin D may work synergistically to reduce proliferation, increase apoptosis, and remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the UF. This reduces its volume and improves menstrual bleeding and anemia. D-chiro-inositol may increase insulin sensitivity, improve glucose tolerance, and affect reproductive hormones and functions. Vitamin B6 is essential to red blood cells (RBCs), and helps improve anemia and maintain normal blood glucose levels.",
