An Exquisite Analysis on the Significance of Nutrient Supplementation in the Holistic Management of Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome

Abstract: The complex heterogeneous disorder known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) includes endocrine, reproductive, metabolic, psychological, and other pathological aspects. Yet, nothing is understood regarding the cause of PCOS. Insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism are major contributors to the pathophysiology of PCOS, according to various studies. Because of this, a lot of PCOS treatment regimens include changing a person's lifestyle through practices, like exercise, nutrition, and vitamin supplementation. Recent studies have indicated a number of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and vitamin-like substances, for the therapy of PCOS since they all have at least one functional characteristic in the pathways that are affected by PCOS. As a result, it is claimed that PCOS may be caused by a vitamin or mineral deficiency. It is the goal of this review to conduct a critical literature analysis on nutritional supplementation for the management of PCOS.
