TLDR Nutraceuticals can effectively manage hormonal imbalances and related health issues.
High-stress lifestyles and poor eating habits have increased hormonal imbalances, particularly in women, leading to various health issues such as hair loss, PCOS, and anxiety. Conventional treatments using synthetic hormones and vitamins often have side effects, prompting the use of nutraceuticals as an alternative. Nutraceuticals like cod liver oil, ginseng, and Omega-3s, along with supplements rich in selenium, magnesium, and other trace minerals, are being used to manage hormonal imbalances and related disorders effectively. This chapter discusses the types of hormonal imbalances, their associated disorders, and the role of nutraceuticals in treatment.
