Research Insight – High Iron Reduces PMS Risk
August 29, 2013
Suffer from PMS? Maybe a steak is the cure!

It was found that women in the highest intake group for non-haeme iron (the form found primarily in plant foods and supplements) had a relative risk of PMS of 0.64 compared to women in the lowest intake group.
The level of iron intake at which the effect is evident was greater than 20mg per day.
