Supplements for Menstrual Pain and Period Comfort
Period pain is common. Heat, gentle exercise and simple pain relief help most women. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Our top picks include a 400 mg magnesium capsule and four traditional women’s herbal formulas. Very severe or worsening pain should be checked, since it can signal endometriosis or fibroids.

How to Choose
Start with heat, gentle exercise and magnesium. Herbal formulas are extras and are usually started a few days before a period. Track your cycle and pain score so you know what helps. Use one product at a time for at least three cycles.
What Causes Period Pain?
Period pain (dysmenorrhoea) is caused by womb contractions triggered by prostaglandins. Primary dysmenorrhoea starts with the first periods and usually eases with age or after childbirth. Secondary dysmenorrhoea is caused by a condition such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis or pelvic infection.
When to See a Doctor
See a doctor if pain is severe, is not eased by simple pain relief, keeps you from school or work, starts later in life, comes with heavy bleeding, pain during sex, or fever and discharge. Sudden severe pelvic pain needs urgent care.
What Supplements Can and Cannot Do
Heat, exercise and magnesium help some women. Herbal formulas are used traditionally and evidence is limited. Supplements do not treat endometriosis or fibroids and are not a substitute for a diagnosis.
