Abstract: Throughout life, Women get affected by one or more disorders–dysmenorrhea (young adults), premenstrual syndrome, mastalgia, infertility (reproductive age group), and menopausal symptoms (menopause phase). Although guidelines for these disorders recommend standard drugs, the scientific literature supports the evidence-based use of nutraceuticals. In addition, as life expectancy is rising, there is a renewed focus on nutraceuticals for health and well-being (extending health span, not just lifespan). A group of gynecology experts came together to help leverage the benefits of nutritional science. Their discussion based on peer-reviewed data and clinical experience led to a consensus document on nutraceuticals for women's health. They recommend the use of nutraceuticals for different gynecological disorders. The supporting data and consensus statements will guide clinicians to use nutraceuticals to enhance the health and well-being of women.
