Approximately half of menstruating women worldwide suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Women will often turn to complementary medicines for relief from their symptoms.
Vitex agnus-castus (Chaste tree) is a herb that has been clinically trialled for PMS. When taken for three months, Vitex reduced irritability, headache, breast fullness and bloating.
The ingredients in NaturoBest's PMS Support & Antioxidant are traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to:
Reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
Support healthy hormone balance in women.
Regulate the menstrual cycle.
Support female reproductive system health.
Provide antioxidants.
Support immune system health.
Sometimes high oestrogen levels or "oestrogen dominance" is associated with PMS. The herbs in this formula support healthy hormone balance in women.
Ask your healthcare practitioner for a blood test for oestradiol on day 2 or 3 of your cycle. You could also check your zinc and copper levels. High oestrogen is associated with high copper levels. High dose zinc supplementation is a treatment often used by naturopaths to antagonise copper.
May be taken alongside Cycle & Skin Support and a preconception multivitamin such as Preconception Multi for Women or Calcium & Magnesium Plus K2 & D3 and Iron & Brain Support.
Therapeutic dose for women with high oestrogen levels: Take two capsules daily with breakfast.
Maintenance dose: Take one capsule daily with breakfast. May be taken prior to conception but discontinue use upon positive pregnancy test unless advised otherwise by your medical herbalist.
Contains zinc which may be dangerous if taken in large amounts or for a long period. Vitex agnus-castus may affect hormones and medicines such as oral contraceptives. Consult your health professional before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your healthcare practitioner. Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Use only if cap seal is unbroken.
