Robinson J, Ferreira A, Iacovou M, Kellow NJ
Published in Nutrition Reviews
Methodology
Systematic review of randomized controlled trials of dietary and nutrient interventions (including calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin B6) in women of reproductive age with PMS, databases searched to October 2022.
Key Findings
High-quality evidence for nutritional interventions in PMS remains limited; trials were small and at risk of bias despite some symptom improvements.
Conclusions
Nutrient supplementation cannot yet be strongly recommended for PMS on current trial quality.
Limitations
Few high-quality RCTs; focus on psychological outcomes rather than somatic bloating.
