Women's nutrition needs overlooked: new study targets menstrual cycle gaps
NCT ID NCT07481201
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the amount of phenylalanine (a protein building block found in food) needed by women changes during different phases of their menstrual cycle. Current recommendations are based on studies in men, so they may not fit women's bodies. Researchers will use special diets and breath tests to find the right amount for healthy women aged 20-35 with regular cycles.
