Unfortunately, hunting for the perfect solution to period pain can be very frustrating – not exactly what you need when you’re suffering with PMS. Most treatments for menstruation pain are limited to over-the-counter drugs, but in the long-term many experts recommend that over-the-counter medication is not ideal for treating this type of pain.
Now it seems that relief might be found in the form of a supplement. Research published by the Vitamin D Council and the Institute of Food Research suggests that the natural PMS supplement called the Period Vitamin is one of the most comprehensive for dealing with symptoms of the condition.
The ingredients in the supplement are backed by positive results for a number of scientific studies, and this could make it in the ideal medication for PMS. Also, as it is a natural supplement there are no dangerous side effects that can be found in chemically-based medications. Overall, taking a supplement is the safest option available to women.
The Period Vitamin has a high dose of vitamin D which has been recently shown to relieve women’s menstrual cramps. It also contains iron, which can be lost over the course of the menstrual cycle. It’s known that having a deficiency in iron can leave you feeling fatigued and lethargic.
Women are increasingly looking for natural and holistic solutions to conditions that previous would have required levels of chemicals and drugs. While long-term tests still need to be carried out on the Period Vitamin, it currently appears to have a good level of potential as an alternative medicine for PMS.
