📄 Abstract: _ Recent research suggests that increasing ketones in the blood, either through a ketogenic diet or ketone supplements, may help women with irregular menstrual cycles regain regularity. _ In a controlled trial, 11 out of 13 pre-menopausal women on a keto diet reported improvements in menstrual frequency and intensity, with some women even resuming menstruation after prolonged absence. 🔬 Process: _ Participants: 19 pre-menopausal, healthy but overweight women, aged approximately 34. _ Groups: Participants were divided into three groups: keto diet alone, keto diet with ketone supplements, and a low-fat diet. _ Duration: All participants followed a six-week intervention, with researchers providing meals to ensure consistency. _ Assessments: Lifestyle and menstrual cycle data were gathered through biweekly surveys and self-reports. ⚙️ Results: _ Menstrual Impact: 85% of women on a keto diet noticed menstrual changes, regardless of weight loss. Menstruation Resumed: Six women who hadn’t menstruated for over a year began having periods. _ Ketones as Key Factor: The study suggests ketone presence, not weight loss, influenced menstrual regulation. _ Individualized Effect: While some women saw benefits from ketone supplements, effects varied, hinting at individualized responses. 🔍 Source: Institutions: The Ohio State University, Metagenics Inc.
