Vitamin C's impact on bloating
Associations Between Dietary Vitamin C, Serum Ascorbic Acid, and Genotype and Premenstrual Symptoms.
Significant but complex associations
We aimed to explore how different measures of vitamin C might influence premenstrual symptoms, particularly bloating. In this study, we analyzed data from 555 women aged 20 to 29 years who reported on various symptoms associated with their menstrual cycles. We looked at their dietary intake of vitamin C, measured serum ascorbic acid levels, and assessed genetic factors through DNA testing.

Our findings suggest that higher vitamin C status is linked to increased appetite changes and symptoms like bloating and swelling during the premenstrual phase. While we observed associations between vitamin C levels and these symptoms, it's important to note that our study didn't isolate the effect of vitamin C from other dietary influences. Therefore, while there's a connection between vitamin C and bloating, we cannot conclusively say that vitamin C alone is definitive in relief.

Overall, this research opens the door to understanding how nutrition, particularly vitamin C intake, may shape our experiences with premenstrual symptoms. However, it also highlights the complexity of diet's role in our health.

No bloating experienced
It was challenging to find an organic vitamin without any chemicals. This one fits all my criteria, and best of all, it does not upset my stomach! I can take it any time, with or without food, without experiencing bloating or gas, unlike other vitamins. I wholeheartedly recommend this clean Vitamin C.

Gassy stomach
The vitamin is good, but I occasionally experience bloating and a gassy stomach. This might be due to the cruciferous content, but I'm not certain.

Causes discomfort
I did not like this product as it caused discomfort in my stomach, including bloating. Perhaps this is due to the yeast.
