Abstract in brief
This study tested whether taking zinc supplements helps young women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) by measuring symptoms and biological markers before and after 12 weeks, finding that zinc significantly reduced PMS symptoms and increased beneficial biomarkers like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and total antioxidant capacity.
Zinc's known anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidepressant effects may explain its positive impact on PMS symptoms, although it did not significantly affect high sensitivity reactive protein, an inflammation marker.
Overall, the findings suggest that zinc supplementation could be a helpful approach to managing physical and psychological symptoms of PMS through its influence on oxidative stress and neurotrophic factors.
