Teen vitamins for PMS

[Seaturtleluck]

Can anyone recommend teen vitamins for PMS for DD15? And is there anything else to help your daughter cope with it?

There’s a Bassetts chewy one that has evening primrose in that helped my dd.

Will have a look. Thank you

Evening primrose and starflower oil and b6 - the H&B ones have all 3 in one capsule, but there are other brands.

also looking at diet - reducing sugar/ too much processed crap throughout the month so she doesn’t have a sugar rollercoaster at the same time, especially towards the end of the cycle when progesterone makes you crave carbs. Then exercise can also help

Thank you. Sugar is a bit tricky; she does crave a bit of it; especially before her period.

Definitely look at diet - healthy carbs snacks between meals (oak cakes, rice cakes), reduce caffeinated drinks, reduce artificial colours and flavourings. Years ago eating like this helped me massively, and I needed to do the same for my daughter.

Thank you. I am going to buy her healthy snacks and encourage more excercise

Anyone got experience of vitabiotics wellteen?

Is lightheadedness a symptom of pms?

I think it could be, mental fogs is one so probably the same.

She is taking well teen girl for a couple of weeks and I think the symptoms lasted a less days than last month; she also seem to have more energy, better concentration.

I am going to buy the one with the omega 3 next time as I read it also help with PMS. And encourage the exercise and cutting down on sugar, buy healthy snacks. I am cautious about the evening primrose oil as it can have adverse effects for some people.

I would take her to the dr and get her some blood tests though to ensure she is not missing vitamins, check on sugar, thyroid, B12, Iron, Vitamin D, folid acid, etc.

I eat healthily and exercise everyday but still get bad PMS - it’s not always to do with diet. I haven’t found any supplements that have worked.
