Omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil blocks the inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins, which cause the cramping pain during menstruation. Choose an omega 3 with a higher strength at 1500mg with EPA and DHA. Always pick an omega 3 fish oil that comes small fish, like anchovies, so that the risk of contamination is minimised.
