Zinc is involved in the production and regulation of estrogen and progesterone, two of the primary hormones responsible for the menstrual cycle and reproductive health.
Zinc is crucial for female fertility due to its role in ovarian function and the regulation of reproductive hormones.
Zinc is involved in the maturation of eggs in the ovaries and helps maintain healthy follicular development, which is essential for successful ovulation.
In addition to its role in egg quality, zinc supports the health of the endometrial lining, ensuring it is prepared to support implantation.
Zinc deficiency has been linked to anovulation (lack of ovulation) and reduced fertility, as well as increased risk of miscarriage.
