PMS Support – Hormone Support for Women is a combination of specific nutrients, including BioResponse DIM® – a natural component derived from indole-3-carbinole and cruciferous vegetables, Chaste Berry extract, magnesium and B vitamins, specially formulated for address the special needs of pre and post-menopausal, healthy women.

FUNCTIONS
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is one molecule known for the supportive role it plays in stimulating natural detoxification enzymes and supporting normal hormone metabolism – resulting in healthy estrogen levels, help free up testosterone from SHBG without increasing total testosterone levels and aid absorption from our intestinal tract.
Chaste berry extract, or Vitex agnus-castus, is a plant extract with active constituents from the fruit of the Chaste tree that play a role in hormone and neurotransmitter activity and supported PMS symptoms in some women.† PMS symptoms with compounds that have been shown to suppress the release of prolactin.†
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that is involved in many cellular pathways and neuromuscular activities which effect PMS.
Magnesium may support cramping and bloating.†
B vitamins, especially vitamin B-6, support symptoms of PMS, especially mood and behavioral symptoms.†
Folate, supplied as the bioavailable methylfolate in NUBalance™, is recommended while taking oral contraceptives due to folate interactions.
Iron supplementation is helpful in menstruating women to support the maintenance of healthy iron stores. Ferronyl® is a carbonyl form of iron that is bioavailable and well tolerated.
