Menstrual pain is generally attributed to prostaglandins. (PG) hence the efficiency of NSAIDS, which inhibits their synthesis. However the PG’s most likely to blame are those derived from Omega -6 LC PUFA. Rather than those of the Omega-3 Series, which are less biologically active. Indeed there is evidence that levels of dietary Omega-3 LC PUFA are lower in women with, than without Dysmenorrhea. Fish oil plus vitamin B12 should be superior to fish oil alone. Possibly the vitamin is involved in the prostaglandin metabolism or has antioxidant effects. They conclude that the supplementations with Omega-3 LC PUFA and vitamin B12 may server as an alternate treatment to NSAID medication against Dysmenorrhea in young women. Two important advantages are, combination appears to be essentially without adverse effects, and it is easy to administer.
