Supplements for Lipedema

Lipedema Supplement List





Can supplements help treat lipedema? Dr. Karen Herbst has compiled a list of herbs, vitamins, nutrients and supplements that may help ladies with lipedema / lipoedema / lipoedeem symptoms. Dr. Herbst also indicated that these supplements may be helpful for Dercum's disease as well. According to the college of Medicine Tucson's 'Treatment, Research and Education of Adipose Tissue' program (TREAT), these supplements work to help reduce lipedema symptoms in four ways:


  • Improve lymphatic pumping
  • Reduce leakage from vessels, 
  • Reduce inflammation 
  • Support the immune system
