The vitamins, minerals and herbs in the supplement are recognized by the body as substances that are wanted and needed for health. However, if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, then this
supplement is not for you.
The ‘side effects’ that people receive from taking a well-balanced supplement are generally the same for all – health!
Can a nutritional supplement really make a difference when someone has menstrual cramps?
Yes. Often, cramps are the result of low calcium levels. Even if you consume a good amount of calcium in your diet, it’s still possible to end up with low levels. That’s because there’s a drop in blood calcium levels at a certain time during the menstrual cycle. This drop cannot be prevented because the body is “programmed” to drop the calcium during this time; it’s similar to how your body is programmed to go into different levels of sleep each night.
How long does it take after starting the supplements to see a difference in my periods?
Everyone is different: some may take 90 days while others may take a few weeks. Give it a fair trial of at least 90 days, or three cycles.
What type of dietary changes should I make if I don't want to have any more PMS?
There are three changes that can make a big difference in how your body experiences your monthly cycle:
Take sugar out of your diet. That means any food or beverage that contains the following: sugar, cane sugar, sucrose, dextrose, fructose, dextrin, and corn syrup. There are many more types of sugar, but if you focus on eliminating these, you will be amazed at how easy your period becomes.
Take an omega-3 supplement. Almost everyone in the U.S. is deficient in omega-3 fats because we’ve spent the lat 10+ years eating hydrogenated fats and trans fats that block its absorption. There’s another reason why we’re low–it’s because we don’t eat the right proportion of omega-3 fat to omega-6 fat. Grains are high in omega-6 and so are oils such as corn oil, soy oil, cottonseed oil, and vegetable oil.
Make a point to eat at least four servings of vegetables a day. This really isn’t that difficult! After you’ve mastered four servings, strive for six servings per day.
I notice that I can be a real "Moody and Tempermental" right before my period starts. It's like I can't help myself; like something almost snaps in my brain and makes me that way. Can this be related to nutrition?
Yes. The B vitamins are very much involved in keeping your brain working at high capacity and keeping your moods level. It’s common for B vitamin deficiencies to show symptoms in women such as anxiety, depression, irritability
I'm always concerned about being the best I can possibly be and I was wondering this: is it possible to have a menstrual period without any cramps, headaches, fatigue, and breast tenderness?
That is an excellent question! The good news is that YES, it is possible, and many women have discovered that when they cleaned up their diet and started taking well-balanced nutritional supplements, their period came and went – without a worry, without a second thought.
I noticed that there's iron in the Menstrual Formula. I have a friend who reads nutrition articles and she says that iron shouldn't be taken because it can create free radicals. What do you think?
There is a certain segment of the nutrition industry that believes that no one should take any iron. However, one of the nutrients lost in large amounts each month in the menstrual blood is iron. If this is not replaced, you can suffer from a deficiency. And if the levels of iron get extremely low, then it’s possible to have a stroke or heart attack and fall into a coma. Women who have still their periods absolutely need iron; and often they aren’t eating enough foods high in iron to replace what’s lost each month.
