Ingredients
Ginseng
Quantity per pill: 250 mg
Ginseng is a powerful adaptogen with a rich history in Chinese Medicine, where it has been utilized for centuries. Adaptogens are herbs that support the body in meeting its specific needs, helping it adapt to various challenges. For instance, when energy levels are low, ginseng can boost them; when faced with environmental or emotional stressors, it may stabilize the body’s stress response.
We have incorporated ginseng into our formula to mitigate the effects of stress on hormone balance while enhancing both physical and mental energy (PMID: 29624410).
Additionally, ginseng may help lower and stabilize blood sugar levels through its insulin-sensitizing properties (PMID: 35509826). Since blood sugar imbalances can worsen symptoms of hormone imbalance and PMS, ginseng is an invaluable addition to your healthy hormone toolkit.
Saffron
Quantity per pill: 30 mg
Saffron is our standout mood-boosting ingredient. We’ve included it to help alleviate premenstrual mood symptoms. Research indicates promising results with a dose of 30 mg of saffron, which we’ve incorporated into our formula.
In one study (PMID: 33457343), 120 women with PMDD were divided into three groups: one received 20 mg of fluoxetine (an antidepressant) twice daily, another took 15 mg of saffron twice daily (the same amount in our complex), and the third group received a placebo. The findings revealed that saffron was as effective as fluoxetine in managing PMDD symptoms, with minimal side effects.
Another study (PMID: 34463070) explored saffron’s effects on perimenopausal mood symptoms over 12 weeks, comparing a dosage of 14 mg taken twice daily with a placebo. The saffron group experienced significant improvements in psychological symptoms, including anxiety and depression.
We chose saffron not only for its ability to diminish the intensity of cycle-related mood symptoms—such as low mood, anxiety, and tearfulness—but also for its potential to reduce snacking and overeating (PMID: 18271889).
Lemon balm
Quantity per pill: 200 mg
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a lemon-scented herb belonging to the mint family. Native to Europe, North Africa, and West Asia, it is now cultivated worldwide.
This herb is known for its ability to slow down the breakdown of GABA, our calming neurotransmitter, allowing it to linger longer in the body and promote a sense of calm and well-being. Consequently, lemon balm can help alleviate feelings of anxiety and unease while supporting restful sleep.
Additionally, research suggests that lemon balm may reduce the severity of menstrual cramps, making it a valuable addition to our hormone-supporting formula.
Evening primrose oil
Quantity per pill: 200 mg
Evening primrose oil, derived from the seeds of evening primrose flowers native to North America, is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid known for its numerous health benefits, including support for skin health and acne (PMID: 24553997) as well as relief from PMS symptoms.
We have included evening primrose extract in our formula to help manage common PMS symptoms, such as breast tenderness and irritability (PMID: 31497576). Additionally, its GLA content may aid in reducing inflammatory prostaglandins that contribute to period pain.
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Quantity per pill: 170 mg
Magnesium plays a vital role in calming the nervous system and regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HP-axis), the communication pathway between your brain and adrenal glands responsible for releasing stress hormones (PMID: 28445426). As a key ingredient in our formulation, magnesium helps combat the effects of stress while promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
Additionally, magnesium may help prevent and alleviate period pain by relaxing the smooth muscles of the uterus and reducing prostaglandins, the inflammatory mediators behind menstrual discomfort (PMID: 28392498, PMID: 2675496).
Research suggests that magnesium can effectively reduce PMS symptoms, both on its own (PMID: 28392498) and when combined with vitamin B6 (PMID: 22069417). It may also provide relief for those who experience menstrual migraines, making it an essential addition to your wellness routine.
Vitamin B12
Quantity per pill: 50 μg
Vitamin B12 is essential for normal energy metabolism, as it plays a crucial role in converting the energy from our food into ATP, the body’s energy currency. We’ve included it in our complex to help reduce fatigue and maintain optimal energy levels.
In addition to energy production, B12 is vital for a process known as methylation, which is involved in the creation and metabolism of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, as well as the regulation of sex hormones such as estrogen.
B12 also supports cognitive function and memory (PMID: 32206454). Supplementation is especially beneficial for those following a plant-based diet, as B12-rich foods are primarily found in meat, eggs, and dairy products.
Vitamin B6
Quantity per pill: 10 mg
Pyridoxine, commonly known as Vitamin B6, plays a crucial role in alleviating PMS symptoms (PMID: 17187801). When combined with magnesium, which is also included in our complex, its effectiveness is further enhanced (PMID: 22069417).
In addition to magnesium, B6 works alongside zinc (also part of our formula) to facilitate the conversion of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate into calming GABA (PMID: 31490017), helping to reduce anxiety. Moreover, some studies suggest that Vitamin B6 may support progesterone levels, leading to improvements in sleep, mood, and overall well-being.
Vitamin B5
Quantity per pill: 25 mg
We’ve incorporated Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) into our formula to enhance mental performance and cognition (PMID: 32416962). For many, hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle can hinder focus and productivity. The synergistic combination of B5, B12, and ginseng in our complex effectively combats these challenges while promoting overall mental well-being.
B5 also plays a vital role in regulating healthy adrenal function and supporting the nervous system, which is particularly important in today’s fast-paced world, given the significant impact stress can have on hormonal balance.
Additionally, research suggests that B5 may be beneficial for individuals experiencing mild to moderate acne (PMID: 24831048).
Vitamin D
Quantity per pill: 10 μg
Commonly referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D is synthesized by the body when exposed to sunlight. However, during colder months, when outdoor time decreases, many healthcare professionals recommend supplementation to maintain adequate levels.
Low vitamin D levels have been linked to heightened symptoms of depression and anxiety (PMID: 36097104). Additionally, women with diets rich in vitamin D (and calcium) have a lower risk of developing PMS compared to those with insufficient intake (PMID: 30918875). Insufficient vitamin D can also increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures (PMID: 34445560).
Moreover, vitamin D may aid in alleviating dysmenorrhea (painful periods), particularly in studies involving high-dose supplementation for individuals with low serum levels (PMID: 22371927).
Sage
Quantity per pill: 150 mg
Sage has a rich history of medicinal use, dating back to ancient Rome, where it was revered as a sacred herb and a symbol of immortality.
While sage is widely recognized for its ability to alleviate low-estrogen symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings, we also appreciate its benefits for digestion. Many in our community report experiencing bloating, particularly in the latter half of their cycle, and sage can help ease digestive discomfort and reduce bloating.
Additionally, sage has been studied for its positive effects on memory and cognition (PMID: 24860730), making it a versatile herb for both hormonal balance and overall well-being
Chromium
Quantity per pill: 200 μg
Chromium is a vital mineral known for its ability to improve blood glucose levels. We’ve incorporated it into our formula because unstable blood sugar levels can exacerbate PMS symptoms (PMID: 23875163). Research indicates that chromium levels tend to decline in the second half of the menstrual cycle, coinciding with dysregulation in blood sugar.
By enhancing insulin sensitivity, chromium may help mitigate PMS symptoms and mood fluctuations related to the menstrual cycle (PMID: 24237190). This makes chromium an important component of our formulation for promoting hormonal balance and overall well-being.
Zinc
Quantity per pill: 10 mg
Zinc is a versatile mineral renowned for its numerous health benefits, including reducing period pain, alleviating PMS symptoms, improving acne, and supporting immune function.
Research has demonstrated that zinc supplementation can significantly lessen dysmenorrhea (painful periods) (PMID: 37165643). Additionally, zinc has been shown to reduce the severity of PMS symptoms. In one study, participants who took zinc for 24 weeks experienced marked improvements in premenstrual symptoms, such as anger, anxiety, headaches, and breast tenderness (PMID: 35226276). Given that over 90% of women report experiencing some premenstrual symptoms, zinc presents a promising intervention for enhancing both mental and physical well-being.
Moreover, zinc has been identified as an effective option for managing acne (PMID: 29193602). It works by inhibiting androgen activity—a group of hormones linked to breakouts in women—and may also help to reduce sebum production.
