PMS and menstruation: what you should know

pms and menstruation

Menstruation is a normal part of every woman’s life, but PMS and irregular periods are not.

In fact, nothing is “normal” about premenstrual symptoms or other menstrual problems — from cramps and menorrhagia to irregular bleeding and amenorrhea — that disrupt the lives of so many women.

These issues are not just uncomfortable — they’re symptoms of underlying health problems that need to addressed.

The root cause of menstrual problems is hormonal imbalance. And that’s why conventional medicine can’t really help you much. The standard approach is to treat the symptoms, not the root source that’s causing them, with antidepressants or hormone therapy, and most women would rather avoid both if possible.

Fortunately, there are natural solutions that offer lasting relief without drugs or their side effects and health risks.

We understand that stress, genetics and other factors contribute to PMS and menstrual problems. But the food you eat, the supplements you take, and the way you live your life matter even more.

Our expert information and targeted supplements can transform how your body maintains hormonal balance so you feel better and more like yourself. And when you take natural steps to balance your hormones, everything in your body works better.

Good hormonal balance helps everything. It can help you normalize your monthly cycle so you feel healthier, stronger and more energetic. Find out more about how to improve your menstrual health, and get started today.

Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), FSH and LH are two hormones secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain during the menstrual cycle.
