Vitamin C's impact on bloating
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.

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.
