My PMS is less noticible, my periods are shorter with less cramping and bleeding. I highly recommend!

Vitamin B6 is a natural diuretic; even if you only take them before/during your period, a B-complex will make a marked difference with bloating and cramping.
And the great thing is because B vitamins are water-soluble, you can't take too much (well, you can, but it will just turn your pee the color of Mountain Dew).
Personally, my PMS symptoms have never been too bad. I usually crave salty grease or chocolate, and once that is satisfied, I'm good. But sometimes my mood swings are just awful...that is when my boyfriend buys me fancy chocolate and puts me to bed.
