Which is more effective for PMS - Vitagnus, soy, or both together?
The abstract provided is incomplete and does not show the full results, so we cannot determine which treatment was most effective.
What they did
Triple-blind randomized controlled trial with 108 university students who had moderate to severe PMS. Participants took one capsule daily of either Vitagnus, soy, or a combination for two menstrual cycles between September 2022 and October 2023.
What they found
The abstract provided cuts off mid-results and does not give the complete findings. One fragment indicates the combination was more effective than Vitagnus alone, but p-values and full results are missing.
What it means for you
This study had a strong design (triple-blind RCT with 108 participants), but the incomplete abstract prevents understanding what the researchers found. The full published paper would be needed to draw conclusions. This is a significant limitation.
