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.

Causes uncomfortable bloating

My hair and nails have remarkably improved, although they do cause me to bloat. This product is outstanding for hair and nail growth. My hair has never been this long in my life! It reached past my shoulders and now is near my waist. My nails are long, strong, and shiny. However, I can’t say if my skin has improved. I don’t take them daily; I take three at a time once a week due to the bloating I experience.

Worth the purchase! I haven’t noticed a flavour and the pills are easy to swallow. Although I’ve only been using them for just under two weeks, I can discern a difference in my skin and my eyelashes appear thicker! The only downside is that these pills cause bloating. They’re the only alteration in my routine, so I know they’re responsible. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing the effects in the coming months.
