Luteal Phase Nutrition

Meaning

Luteal Phase Nutrition refers to the targeted dietary and nutrient strategies employed during the second half of the menstrual cycle, spanning from ovulation until the onset of menstruation. This specialized nutritional focus aims to support the corpus luteum’s function and its sustained production of progesterone, which is essential for preparing the endometrium for potential implantation and maintaining early pregnancy. Adequate intake of specific micronutrients and macronutrient ratios is considered vital for optimizing the hormonal environment during this metabolically demanding phase.
