Omega-3s help reduce PMS bloating
Evaluation of the effect of omega-3 fatty acids in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome: "a pilot trial".
Moderate relevance to PMS treatment
We observed the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids in treating symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in a well-structured study with 184 women. Participants were divided into two groups, receiving either omega-3 supplements or a placebo over three months.

Encouragingly, we found that those taking omega-3 reported reduced bloating along with other symptoms like anxiety and headaches. Furthermore, these benefits increased with longer treatment durations. Overall, omega-3 fatty acids show promise for alleviating bloating in women suffering from PMS.

Severe bloating effects
After a week of taking Omega, I experienced continuous bloating and gastrointestinal discomfort. I reduced the dose, but it made no difference. The product went in the bin as I realised artificial Omega-3 absorbs poorly compared to natural.

Severe discomfort
The manufacturer suggests taking four capsules daily, but I opted for two. Initially, I felt fine, but by day five, I had fishy burps and bloating. Eventually, I experienced sharp abdominal pain that intensified. I later realised the capsules were the cause as past vitamins had not done the same.

Bloating relief
Super Omega! The quality is good for the price. The jar contains a substantial 200 capsules. While they are large, I have no issues swallowing them. My husband and I took 2 capsules twice daily for a month, and I've noticed an improvement in my overall well-being and reduction in bloating. I feel less stressed at work, and I'm placing another order for regular use.

Bloating reduction
I highly recommend these! I've been taking them for a few days and feel fantastic. They are easy to take with no fishy smell. I’ve felt less bloated, and the packaging was excellent. I’ll continue purchasing them.
