Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Quail eggs have been used in various traditional medicine systems, especially in some Asian and Eastern European cultures, for their perceived health benefits, including the management of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Traditionally, quail eggs are valued for being rich in nutrients such as vitamins (notably B vitamins), minerals (iron, phosphorus), and essential amino acids. Folk medicine sometimes attributes quail eggs with properties that help balance hormones, boost overall vitality, and support women’s reproductive health. However, the rationale is generally based on the belief that nutrient-rich foods can help mitigate some PMS symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and mild anemia.
Despite these traditional uses, the scientific evidence supporting quail eggs specifically for PMS is limited. There are no robust clinical studies directly linking quail egg consumption to the prevention or relief of PMS symptoms. Some nutritional logic exists, since adequate intake of certain vitamins and minerals can influence PMS severity, but quail eggs have not been singled out by the scientific community as an effective intervention. Therefore, while the use of quail eggs for PMS is rooted in tradition, any benefit is likely due to general nutritional support rather than a specific therapeutic effect.
