Modelled supplements for Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Conventional Beliefs
Calcium and Magnesium: Some studies suggest that calcium and magnesium supplements might help alleviate certain symptoms associated with PMS and PMDD, such as mood changes, irritability, and bloating. They are often taken together and might have some benefit in reducing symptoms, although results vary among individuals.
Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 has been studied for its potential to alleviate PMS symptoms, including mood swings and irritability. Some individuals with PMDD might explore vitamin B6 supplementation, although evidence supporting its effectiveness specifically for PMDD is limited.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil or certain plant-based sources might have anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially benefit individuals with PMDD by reducing inflammation and improving mood. Some studies suggest that omega-3 supplementation might help in managing symptoms associated with PMS and PMDD, although further research is needed.
Probiotics: While not directly related to PMDD, maintaining a healthy gut microbiome might indirectly influence overall health and potentially impact mood and inflammation. Some research suggests that probiotics might have a role in improving mood and emotional well-being, although specific effects on PMDD require further investigation.
Vitamin D: Adequate levels of vitamin D are important for overall health. Some studies have suggested a potential link between low vitamin D levels and mood disorders. While evidence specific to PMDD is limited, maintaining optimal vitamin D levels might support overall well-being.
All suggestions are computed solely on their predicted microbiome impact. Safety, side-effects etc must be evaluated by your medical professionals before starting. Some items suggests have significant risk of adverse consequences for some people.
