The incidence of PCOS the most common endocrinopathy has an alarming rise the recent years. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Nutrition intervention on reducing the Symptoms of PCOS in comparison to Nutrition education and Medication alone. The study was an Intervention among 93 women after systematic grouping of the subjects into three groups. The supplementation group received 30g of Nutritional supplement daily for 3 months, experimental group II received nutrition Education alone for three months and Control group was received allopathic medication. The mean age of the participants was 29.31±7.1. Nutrition intervention resulted in a significant reduction in weight, BMI, TSF body fat , waist circumference and hip circumference, total cholesterol levels , cholesterol to HDL ratio and total testosterone levels (p<0.001). Between the groups the mean change in testosterone (M=0.145, SD=0.238) showed significant difference with education group (M=0.0023, SD=0.0646), difference was remarkable between Intervention and control group (M=-0.0147, SD=0.1167). The difference in total cholesterol, cholesterol to HDL ratio, waist circumference, and hip circumference indicated significant difference between the intervention and control group but no difference between intervention and education group.
