Micronutrients are essential for metabolic function, and emerging data supports their targeted preventive and therapeutic use as adjuvants in gynecology for various indications.

This narrative overview discusses the role of micronutrients in human metabolism and summarizes the expanding evidence base for their targeted preventive and therapeutic use across gynecology, including as adjuncts for multiple gynecologic indications. It outlines that micronutrients may be insufficient due to availability or impaired biochemical function, leading to deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, and illness, and it claims that when used appropriately the benefit–risk profile can be favorable with additive clinical outcomes. The paper’s main limitation is that it is not an original clinical study and does not present new primary data, instead synthesizing prior literature in a broad, non-specific manner. Relevance to endometriosis: the reference list includes randomized trial evidence and systematic reviews on antioxidant supplementation and vitamin D in women with endometriosis-related symptoms, though the article’s main focus is micronutrients in gynecology overall rather than endometriosis or adenomyosis specifically.

Zusammenfassung Mikronährstoffe tragen wesentlich dazu bei, dass die Stoffwechselprozesse in unserem Körper optimal funktionieren können. Viele Faktoren können jedoch dazu führen, dass diese Substanzen im Körper nicht in ausreichender Menge zur Verfügung stehen oder dass sie ihre biochemischen Funktionen nicht oder nur ungenügend wahrnehmen können. Dadurch können Mängel, Stoffwechselungleichgewichte und in der Folge Störungen des Wohlbefindens sowie Krankheiten entstehen. Die Datenlage für einen gezielten präventiven und therapeutischen Einsatz von Mikronährstoffen – auch in der Gynäkologie – wird immer breiter. Sie können daher auch bei zahlreichen gynäkologischen Indikationen adjuvant empfohlen werden. Bei richtiger, evidenzbasierter Anwendung besitzen Mikronährstoffe interessante additive Wirkungen mit oft klinisch relevanten Ergebnissen und bei einem guten Nutzen-Risiko-Verhältnis. Résumé Les micronutriments apportent une contribution importante au fonctionnement optimal des processus métaboliques de notre corps. De nombreux facteurs peuvent cependant entrainer un manque de disponibilité de ces substances dans le corps ou lʼimpossibilité ou lʼinsuffisance dʼassurer leurs fonctions biochimiques. Cela peut en résulter des déficits, des déséquilibres métaboliques et, par conséquent, des troubles du bien-être et des maladies. Les données disponibles pour une utilisation préventive et thérapeutique ciblée des micronutriments – y compris en gynécologie – sont de plus en plus nombreuses. Ils peuvent donc également être recommandés en tant quʼadjuvants dans de nombreuses indications gynécologiques. Dans le cadre d’une utilisation correcte et sur la base de preuves, les micronutriments ont des effets additifs intéressants avec des résultats souvent cliniquement pertinents et un bon rapport avantage-risque.
