Science & Research
Verifiable Science
PMS Essentials provides a comprehensive nutrient and botanical approach to support mood, cravings, cramps and bloating associated with the menstrual cycle. Calcium plays a role in healthy smooth muscle function and menstrual comfort.1 Vitamin D has similar effects, attributed to its ability to promote healthy calcium levels, cyclic hormone function and neurotransmitter activity.2 Healthy intracellular magnesium levels have been associated with maintaining positive mood during the luteal phase.3 Magnesium also plays an important role in nervous system sensitivity, providing support for muscle comfort, breast comfort and emotional well-being associated with the menstrual cycle.4 Studies indicate the positive effect of vitamin B6 on premenstrual mood as well as its crucial role in enhancing the effect of magnesium.5 Vitamin E research suggests that it helps lessen breast tenderness as well as nervous tension and fatigue associated with the menstrual cycle.6 Traditionally used and clinically studied, chaste tree provides significant beneficial support for the hypothalamus and pituitary via its balancing effects.7 Relora® may help diminish stress-related sugary snack cravings and support emotional wellness while rhodiola supports energy and mental function.8‡
