PMS symptoms reach their peak during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and include significant affective lability, loss of interest in activities such as hobbies and friends, lack of energy, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, oversleeping, difficulty in concentrating, breast tenderness and a host of other unpleasant symptoms.

A krill oil study conducted by Sampalis et al.
