The Effect of Optivite for Women on Premenstrual Tension Syndromes: Blood Chemistry and Serum Steroid Levels During the Mid-Luteal Phase
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 23(6), 667-670
Abstract
Plasma and erythrocyte magnesium were measured in 105 patients with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) using a simple atomic absorption spectroscopy method. The erythrocyte magnesium concentration for the patients with PMS was significantly lower than that of a normal population. The plasma magnesium did not show this difference. The significance of this apparent cellular deficiency of magnesium is discussed.
