For those with mittelschmerz, the consumption of papaya may help with the cramps or discomfort associated with ovulation as it contains the enzyme papain.
Taking vitamin D supplements may also help as some have reported that it reduces the severity of cramps associated with ovulation. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that may help with pain. Drinking a cup of chamomile tea may also be beneficial as it boosts the levels of glycine, a type of amino acid that helps to relax contracting muscles.
