Emerging Data on Diet & Endometriosis, PCOS, Heart Health Ep. 1195 JUN 2024

Multiple studies explored the potential of dietary components to influence women's health. In endometriosis, pilot studies on quercetin, resveratrol, and curcumin-containing polyphenols suggest pain reduction. Similarly, a pilot trial investigating dihydroartemisinin, an antimalarial drug, in PCOS patients yielded promising results for regulating menstrual cycles. For postmenopausal women, another pilot study demonstrated improved endothelial function, a marker of heart health, following beetroot juice supplementation. These findings highlight the need for further investigation through larger trials to confirm the efficacy and understand the mechanisms by which these dietary interventions may impact various aspects of women's health.
