How Does Magnesium Help With PMS Symptoms?

While PMS is more common before menopause, magnesium is still valuable in perimenopause and beyond.

Magnesium’s Role

  • Relaxes muscles and eases cramps.
  • Regulates serotonin, reducing irritability and anxiety.
  • Improves sleep quality and stress resilience.
  • Reduces bloating and water retention.

Best Forms

  • Magnesium glycinate: Calming, gentle, great for sleep.
  • Magnesium citrate: Supports digestion, may ease constipation.

Bottom line: Magnesium can ease PMS symptoms, perimenopausal mood swings, and sleep problems. Most women benefit from 300–400 mg/day with food.
