Essential supplements for menstrual painUpdated 4 months ago

For menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), certain dietary supplements can offer an effective and natural way to reduce cramps, pain, and overall discomfort.

Keep in mind that every woman may respond differently to various types of supplements.

Here is an overview of the supplements we recommend:

Magnesium, Zinc Chelate + Vitamin B6
• Effect: Relaxes uterine smooth muscle, reduces cramps and irritability.
• Dosage: 2 capsules daily (can be increased in individual cases)

Omega 3
• Effect: Reduces inflammation and lowers the production of prostaglandins, which cause pain and contractions.
• Dosage: Follow the dosage recommended on the specific product (short-term increases are possible)
We particularly recommend Krill Oil +, which has an exceptionally high EPA content and superior absorption thanks to its phospholipid structure.

Zinc
• Effect: Zinc helps reduce the production of prostaglandins responsible for uterine contractions and pain. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, supports hormonal balance, and may reduce both the duration and intensity of menstrual pain.
• Dosage: 15–30 mg daily during menstruation, ideally taken with food.
We recommend starting a few days before the expected period and continuing through the first days of bleeding.

ProLife
• Effect: The antioxidants vitamin E and astaxanthin help reduce pro-inflammatory prostaglandin production, thereby relieving pain.
• Dosage: 1–2 capsules daily
