Krill Oil Helps Relieve PMS Symptoms
July 3rd, 2008 · Filed Under: Fat Loss Nutrition
I just came across an interesting study about how Krill oil is helping women reduce the emotional and physical symptoms of PMS. One of the major symptoms that Krill oil helps reduce is the cravings of sweets. This study was conducted over a three month period involving 70 women and and the primary outcomes were measured by a self-assessment questionnaire for PMS based on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. You can download the entire study by clicking on the pdf file.
I found the theory that inflammation is one of the main causes of PMS very interesting. One of the reasons for this theory is that when women are experiencing PMS they are actually metabolizing fat abnormally.
It makes sense then that the over the counter pain reliever drugs that women most frequently use are anti-inflammatory drugs. Based on the results of this study, there was a significant reduction in the consumption of such pain reliever drugs with the women who consumed Krill oil.
The women who consumed Krill oil during this 3 month study also experienced a reduction in breast tenderness and joint pain in addition to the reduced pain from cramping, nausea, bloating, and headaches.
When it comes to the emotional side effects of PMS, the women who consumed Krill oil experienced reduced feelings of stress, overwhelm, irritability, and depression. Possible explanations for this are due to the positive effects that DHA, which is present in Krill oil has on brain function.
This study provides just one more piece of evidence of the many benefits that are associated with the consumption of Krill oil. It’s absolutely awesome to have a healthy and natural supplement that will allow people to cut back on the use of over the counter and prescription drugs. Krill oil is definitely proving to be a healthy alternative to traditional medicine.
