The occurrence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) have more than doubled over the past 50 years due to the acceptance of it as a medical condition that is caused by unhealthy diet with high in saturated food. Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, it effects a women's physical and emotional state, and sometimes interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation.

Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in the Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. Zinc plays an important role in treating growth retardation, delayed sexual maturation, infection susceptibility.

II. How zinc effects women with PMS
1. Prostaglandins hormone
Zinc is vital in converting linoleic acid to gamma-linolenic acid. Deficiency of zinc interferes with the process resulting in over production of the bad prostaglandins hormone PGE2 leading to menstrual pain and cramps before and after ovulation.

2. Immune system
Zinc also plays important role in strengthening the function of immune system in preventing the forming of free radicals, virus and bacteria invasion and infection resulting in increasing the over all health including the cells in nervous system, thereby lessening the risk of nervous tension.

3. Insulin regulation
Deficiency of zinc decreases the body in carbohydrate metabolism and insulin regulation resulting increasing the risk of diabetes and food craving for some women with PMS.

4. Respiratory system
Zinc helps to convert CO2 into bicarbonate and the same enzyme transforms the bicarbonate back into CO2 for exhalation through the lungs that helps to improve function of the lung in oxygen absorption resulting in increasing the nutrient and oxygen to the body cells need including the nervous cells, thereby, lessening the symptoms of nervous disorder. Without this conversion would occur CO2 exhalation about one million times slower.

5. Nervous system
Zinc is important in
modulating brain excitability. Deficiency of zinc cause abnormal production of certain hormones leading to nervous tension resulting in stress, anxiety, and seizure activity for some women with PMS.
