Supplements for fluid retention

2 replies

Mindfullisa · 17/07/2025 19:42

I tend to retain fluid on boob's belly arms in the 7 days before I'm due my period. I normally just wear clothing to suit and don't give it too much thought. However I'm attending a wedding on my day 28, next month and it will be hot, destination wedding abroad.
I really am hoping not to buy new dress as I have a dress I'd like to wear again.
I plan to reduce Carbs and drink more water for the week before. Is there any effective supplement any of you could recommend to help reduce the retention of fluid? Otherwise my weight is very stable but can fluctuate with my cycle. Any advice appreciated 👏

Cherry juice/extract allegedly works as a diuretic

Thanks for your suggestion @MauriceTheMussel I'll certainly seek it out I see H&B sell it as an extract in capsule.
