Premenstrual syndromes have troubled me for many years. Especially lower abdomen pain at the first day of menstrual period. I have tried many ways to release the pain, like do more excersice, drink only warm water daily and take bak fong yun etc., but the effects were not significant.
Until 2 months ago, i started to take evening primrose oil, the effect is very good. Although there are still slightly back pain and tireness, but no more lower abdomen pain. This is really a good news for me, as I can sleep better, work better and even excersise better during the menstrual period! Finally, I found something that really works!
I take 1 pil per day of 1000mg EPO only, although the label recommended 1-3 per day. However, it's depends on different personal physical. For me, 1 per day is more than enough. Remember to take with meal.
How it works:
Evening primrose oil (EPO) is a source of the omega-6 fatty acids gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA). Omega-6 fatty acids and substances made from them, are components of nerve cells, all cell membranes and hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins have multiple local hormone-like actions, which include regulation of tissue inflammation. Conditions that involve inflammation, such as eczema, may benefit from supplementation with omega-6 fatty acids.
Low levels of GLA have been found in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Essential fatty acid deficiency can lead to an excess of the female hormone prolactin which is responsible for many of the symptoms of PMS. Supplementing with EPO increases a prostaglandin known as PGE1, which may help with the symptoms of PMS.
