They are substances with anti-inflammatory properties, which have been used in research on the influence of omega-3 acids on reducing dysmenorrhea among women. Conclusion: Omega-3 acids reduce dysmenorrhea in women. It is very important to pay attention to the presence of acids in diet as well as supplementation among patients.
