May Help Manage PMS Symptoms

Consuming omega-3 fats may help reduce pain and inflammation in general. Several studies have shown that taking omega-3 or fish oil supplements can help reduce period pain and PMS symptoms, in some cases enough to reduce the usage of pain medication.

Krill oil, which includes the same sorts of omega-3 fats, looks to be equally as helpful. In one study, the benefits of krill oil and fish oil were examined in women with PMS. While both supplements resulted in statistically significant reductions in symptoms, women receiving krill oil required considerably less pain medication than women taking fish oil, according to the research. This study reveals that krill oil may be as helpful as other omega-3 fat sources for alleviating PMS symptoms.
