It is estimated that as many as 85% to 90% of pre-menopausal women regularly experience mental and/or physical symptoms before the onset of menses. While symptoms are mild in most women, 8% to 20% experience symptoms that meet the clinical definition of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), a disorder characterized by moderate to severe symptoms of depression, irritability, fatigue, abdominal cramping, breast tenderness, and headaches.
Fortunately, research has shown nutritional supplementation to be very effective in helping deal with PMS. In one study, women who supplemented with 1200 mg per day of calcium carbonate for three months reduced PMS symptoms by 48%. Other studies have also seen “significant” improvements in women with 1000 mg and 1336 mg per day of calcium supplementation.*
