Objective:
To review the current literature on nutrition to provide a basis for counseling patients.
Design:
Literature review.
Result(S):
Studies on nutrition and nutritional supplements in women's health are found primarily in literature not typically read by reproductive endocrinologists and gynecologist/obstetricians. A surprising number of people do not receive the vitamins and minerals that they need. Soy and soy isoflavones should be considered an important part of the diet.
Conclusion(S):
A better understanding of nutrition and nutritional supplements may reduce or prevent illness, saving the health care system millions of dollars each year.
