Der Einsatz eines Vitamin-Mineral-Zusatzes in der Behandlung des prämenstruellen Syndroms

Abstract: An open study for the assessment of the effectiveness and the acceptability of a vitamin and mineral additive (Magnesium-OK, Wassen International) has been carried out with 204 women (at the age of 18 to 50 years) with a clearly defined premenstrual syndrome. The reason for the inclusion of the principle constituents of the preparation (Vitamin B6 and B2, magnesium and zinc) is discussed. Daily records have been kept during three consecutive menstruation cycles. A moderate, good, or very good improvement has been observed with 70.5% of the group, no change with 15.5% and an extremely variable response with 5.5%. Four women became pregnant during the course of the study and 18 (9.0%) withdrew from the study due to side effects. Except for an occasional susceptibility to the yeast content of the tablets, "Magnesium-OK" was well tolerated. A response to a broad spectrum of symptoms has been observed, although there were strong deviations in the behaviour of the partial responses. lt was concluded, that the preparation is valuable for the treatment of the premenstrual syndrome.
