“That Time of the Month” Relief


Ugh. The dreaded “time of the month” is here. You’ve been hit by fatigue, endless abdominal cramping, lower back pain, bloating, and labile mood swings. You feel like a different person. It’s tough to go about your regular day when you get hit with Aunt Flow’s worst.

While we can’t completely get rid of all the downsides to your menstrual cycle, we can treat the symptoms that come with menstruation. 

First of all, the awful menstrual cramps. We know that heating pads are super helpful for blood flow to your abdomen and that’s why heat is so effective. It helps soothe the muscles that are putting in so much work to shed that lining. What’s even more effective is magnesium. Many people have heard about this electrolyte treating muscle cramps in the form of epsom salts. Magnesium is “nature’s muscle relaxer” for a reason, it is very effective in releasing muscle tension. So imagine fully absorbing the benefits through the bloodstream with 100% of the electrolyte being processed. 

In conjunction with magnesium, another electrolyte that has had proven success against PMS symptoms is calcium. The mood swings are no match for supplemental calcium during your cycle. A study has shown that women taking calcium supplements reported a significant decrease in depression and sadness compared to those taking a placebo. In a larger study, it was found that high dose calcium has also been linked to decrease in PMS related fatigue, bloating, and pain in women.
