Emotional Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) affects millions of women worldwide. For Emotional PMS, including depression, anxiety, perceived stress and aggression, there are very few options. Recent observational data suggest that nutritional supplementation with oxaloacetate, a human energy metabolite, greatly reduced the symptoms of Emotional PMS. The aim of this study was to confirm these observations on the effects of oxaloacetate on Emotional PMS symptom severity within a controlled clinical trial setting.
