Tired of suffering from PMS? Get natural relief from the :

  • irritability
  • moodiness
  • headaches
  • crampings
  • and other discomforts of PMS

Ingredients Include:


Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful natural antioxidant that can protect the body from many chronic disorders and pain. This vitamin can help ease the severity of PMS-related depression, moodiness, breast tenderness, headaches, insomnia, and cramping.

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 functions as an important coenzyme - it participates in many chemical and metabolic processes in our body, from the production of amino acid to hormones.

Vitamin B6's role in maintaining hormonal balance helps women reduce bouts of depression during PMS. When paired together with magnesium, this vitamin may reduce mood swings during the menstrual cycle. Vitamin B6 also assists the liver in removing excess estrogen from the body and helps raise the progesterone level to ease other PMS symptoms.


Folic Acid
A member of the B-vitamin family, folic acid is famous for its heart-friendly properties and ability to prevent birth defects. It turns out that folic acid is also required in all cells that undergo cellular division and can strengthen the reproductive system.

Many women do not have adequate levels of folic acid, especially if they eat a lot of processed food. Taking supplements is the perfect way to ensure that your body gets its daily supply of this important nutrient.


Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that is needed for literally hundreds of different chemical and metabolic processes in the body.

Low levels of magnesium have actually been linked to PMS. Studies suggest that menstrual cramping caused by increased levels of prostaglandins may be eased by taking supplements of this mineral. Magnesium can help muscles relax to further minimize cramps.

Choline
Choline is a phospholipid that is absolutely critical for both normal cell membrane structure and its function in transporting nutrients in and out of cells.

Choline is also a precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is essential for memory, mental functions, and emotional balance.


Gamma-Linolenic Acid (Borage Oil)
Gamma-linolenic acid or GLA is the active ingredient derived from borage oil, a traditional medicine used in Europe for its many healing properties. Borage is said to help ease menstrual problems, including the pain of menstrual cramps and breast tenderness.

As women with severe PMS are found to be deficient in GLA, taking supplements of this nutrient may help prevent and alleviate various PMS symptoms.


Dong Quai
Dong quai or angelica has long been used in Asia to treat female reproductive problems, including heavy and irregular periods. This herb is prized for its ability to regulate the menstrual cycle and can help promote uterine health.

Dong quai's health benefits may be due to its active ingredients called coumarins. Scientists suggest that coumarin has the ability to increase the body's blood flow, dilate blood vessels, and help in the stimulation of the central nervous system.

Dong quai may also help maintain hormonal balance during the menstrual cycle, as it contains phytoestrogens that are similar in structure to the body's natural estrogen.


White Willow Bark
White willow bark is used in traditional Chinese medicine to ease pain. Also known as herbal aspirin, white willow bark's active ingredient called salicin is converted by the body into the painkiller salicylic acid.

As an herbal medicine, white willow bark can help reduce menstrual backaches, pain and cramps.


Black Cohosh
Black cohosh is a traditional native American medicinal plant used to treat PMS, menstrual, and menopausal symptoms.

For PMS, black cohosh's anti-spasmodic properties help reduce the cramps and pain of the menstrual cycle.

MSM
Famous for its joint-healing action, MSM can also help alleviate the back pain and muscle ache during menstruation.

Uva Ursi Leaf
Uva ursi or bearberry is an herbal ingredient used for fighting off urinary tract infections. Its active ingredient, a phytochemical called arbutin, has antiseptic properties that can prevent and treat infections.

Chasteberry
Chasteberry is used to aid reproductive health and to ease menstrual symptoms. It is actually a quite popular herb in Europe, prescribed to ease PMS symptoms.

Chasteberry is believed to influence hormonal activity by stimulating the pituitary glands and encourage the production of more luteinizing hormone and progesterone. This increase in progesterone is believed to help ease irritability, depression, and bloating.

As a plus, chasteberry's hormone balancing property may also help those who suffer from acne caused by the menstrual cycle!
