Abstract

Metabolic disturbances, chronic low-grade inflammation, and oxidative stress serve as a pivotal nexus in the manifestation and progression of PCOS. In essence, nutritional supplements have shown promising results in the restoration of reproductive, metabolic, and psychological aberrations, in part in PCOS, by altering the above-mentioned key pathways associated with PCOS etiology. Besides, deficiencies in certain nutrients among PCOS women reinforce the notion that supplementation may address imbalances to improve clinical symptoms, thus offering a strategic approach towards comprehensive and personalized therapeutic interventions in relation to the severity of manifestations of this endocrinopathy among women. This chapter aims to elucidate empirical evidence supporting the application of prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and vitamin K in the context of PCOS intervention.
