Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Women’s gynecological health is influenced by a dynamic interplay of nutritional, hormonal, metabolic, and environmental factors. Recent research has increasingly highlighted the role of nutrition and dietary supplements in the prevention and management of gynecological disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, menstrual irregularities, infertility, pregnancy complications, and menopause-related conditions. Micronutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, fatty acids, and other bioactive compounds play key roles in regulating hormonal balance, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular metabolism, which are critical for reproductive tissues and overall gynecological health. Nutritional deficiencies and poor dietary patterns have been linked to adverse reproductive outcomes and disease progression.
This Special Issue aims to compile the latest research on nutrition-based strategies to prevent and manage female disorders. We welcome contributions, including original research, reviews, clinical studies, and mechanistic investigations on the impact of nutrients or dietary supplements, nutritional interventions to enhance fertility, molecular mechanisms connecting diet and reproductive health, and dietary strategies across life stages from adolescence to menopause. By integrating clinical and molecular insights, this Special Issue seeks to advance women’s health through nutrition-focused prevention and management.
