Solving Menstrual Cramps: Vitamin D and Root Causes

from Doctor Next Door Hosted by Doctor Next Door

Explains strategies to prevent menstrual cramps by addressing their underlying cause: vitamin D3 deficiency. Low vitamin D contributes to elevated prostaglandins, vasopressin, and parathyroid hormone, which increase inflammation and uterine muscle contractions, causing pain. The advice includes thirteen evidence-based tips, focusing on high daily vitamin D3 and magnesium intake, following a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting, and using supplements like cod liver oil and B vitamins, as well as natural remedies such as fenugreek and ginger.
