Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is like that ghosting ex, who makes a sudden appearance, throws you off balance, disappears into thin air, and then comes back to haunt you. This toxicity can be felt a week before the period. It takes the form of horrid symptoms like cramps, breast soreness, mood swings, acne, fatigue, and bloating. The sad part is that PMS is quite common. According to a recent study, 75% of women who menstruate experience its symptoms in different combinations and intensities.
But here’s the good part: the wellness industry has finally paid heed to our misery. It has come up with PMS supplements to take the edge off premenstrual syndrome. These are concoctions containing various vitamins and minerals to help you feel energetic and restore your hormonal balance. Their purported benefits include alleviating discomfort and regularising your menstrual cycle. Here’s a roundup of the seven best supplements that have stellar reviews to their credit and are worth a try:

These chewable gummies contain vitamin B6 to balance the hormones, chasteberry to reduce cramps. They also have Dong Quai (female ginseng) to combat fatigue, and lemon balm to soothe your skin. Regular consumption of one gummy a day can improve your PMS experience drastically.
