Calcium

Calcium is a vital mineral that keeps bones and teeth stable. It is also believed that calcium has a positive effect on our hormone production, inhibits inflammation and supports the immune system.

The endometriosis guideline of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics cites a study in which Calcium reduced the symptoms of severe menstrual pain. However, the women studied did not suffer from endometriosis-triggered menstrual pain, but from primary dysmenorrhea, i.e. severe menstrual pain that was not triggered by any identifiable disease.
