Female Balance
Female Balance is the perfect blend of natural nutrients for menstrual health, combining the most
important, plant derived, female hormone substitutes to enhance and restore natural hormone levels.
As a result, Female Balance is recommended for a wide range of menstrual problems, including
the perimenopause
pre menstrual tension & syndrome (PMS)
irregular cyles & late periods
dysmennoerhea (painful periods) & menstrual cramps
Female Balance contains:
Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus) acts upon the production of a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH). This indirectly increases progesterone production and helps regulate the menstrual cycle.
Vitex also keeps prolactin secretion in check to reduce the incidence of breast tenderness associated with PMS.
Vitex is prescribed in Europe for uterine fibroids and is effective for helping women make the hormonal adjustment off birth control pills.
Borage seed oil is the richest source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that the body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). PGE1 has anti-inflammatory properties and may also act as a blood thinner and blood vessel dilator
Dong quai (Angelica sinesis) is traditionally known as the 'female ginseng'. It is believed to have a balancing or “adaptogenic” effect on the female hormonal system, primarily used for painful and/or irregular menstruation and symptoms of PMS.
Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) from which progesterone is derived, relieves spasms and inflammation of the uterus.
It is also considered a relaxant and is useful for the relief of dysmenoerrhea and menstrual cramps.
Vitamin B6 and Folic acid have been added for additional menstrual support. Clinical trials show that taking 50–400 mg of vitamin B6 per day for several months helps relieve symptoms of PMS.
Caution: It is important to cease supplementation of Female Balance for a week, from the the first day of each period.
