Take magnesium supplements
Magnesium is a wonderful supplement to have on hand when your period hits, but also to have in general. It can help alleviate constipation (which, when it occurs during your period, makes cramps worse), it can help you sleep, and studies have shown it can alleviate menstrual cramps. You may consider taking a magnesium-calcium hybrid supplement, as calcium might also alleviate cramps.
