Protein plays a crucial role in supporting the uterus, particularly during periods of growth, repair, and pregnancy. The uterus is a muscular organ, and its tissues require adequate protein for maintenance and function. Scientific studies show that protein is necessary for the synthesis of cellular structures and enzymes, as well as for the repair of uterine tissues after menstruation or childbirth. During pregnancy, protein requirements increase because it supports the growth of fetal and placental tissues, as well as the expansion of the uterus itself. The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) highlight increased protein needs for pregnant and lactating women, which can help ensure proper development and function of the uterus and associated structures (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2005). While there are no specific randomized controlled trials assessing protein supplementation solely for uterine health in non-pregnant women, the general role of protein in tissue maintenance and repair is well-established in physiology. Thus, the use of protein to support the uterus is justified by scientific understanding of human biology, though direct clinical evidence for uterine-specific outcomes is moderate.
