You could call in sick, turn on Sex and The City and hide from the world again, or even worse POWER THROUGH like the girl boss you are, or you could have a PMS Bite. In fact have 5.
If you’re curious how we came up with this, we put our smart glasses on, headed to the sciencey part of the internet and read the studies. And this is what we found:
A study [1] on magnesium and vitamin B6 showed it helped in four primary ways for premenstrual syndrome symptoms:
- Feelings of depression, crying, dejection, inclination to remain at home, anger, forgetfulness, insomnia, and inability to concentrate.
- Feelings of anxiety including nervous tension, irritability, and anxiety.
- Water retention including breast pain and tenderness, lower extremity water retention, period bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
- Symptoms of feeling cold, nausea, urination frequency, flushing, low back pain, headache, acne, greasy skin, arthralgia, and muscular pain.
Another study showed one of the main causes of PMS symptoms is excess estrogen, which is processed out by the liver. Taurine helps cleanse the liver. [2] It also makes you feel good by stimulating GABA receptors.
Then we looked up l-theanine which is amazing at improving mood and anxiety, but in PMS it helps for irritability and anger, and for crying and mood swings. [3]
