Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) affects up to 75% of menstruating women. The rapid drop in hormones before your period can disrupt brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, leading to mood swings.
Clinical Support Strategies
1
Vitamin B6
Helps the body produce neurotransmitters. Studies show 50-100mg can help reduce PMS-related depression.
2
Calcium Supplementation
Clinical trials show calcium can significantly reduce mood swings, bloating, and food cravings.
3
Stress Reduction
Since stress exacerbates PMS, prioritizing downtime in your luteal phase is non-negotiable.
Pro Tip
Tracking your specific symptoms over 3 cycles helps identify patterns, making it easier to predict and manage emotional shifts before they happen.
