Ingredients explained
Vitex agnus-castus (Chaste berry) extract (min. 0.5% agnusides)
Standardized agnusides may influence pituitary signaling that affects luteinizing hormone and prolactin, supporting a balanced monthly cycle.
Caution: May interact with hormones or drugs that affect dopamine or prolactin; discontinue if unwanted cycle changes occur.
Angelica sinensis (Dong quai) (organic)
Contains aromatic compounds and coumarins that may support smooth muscle comfort and healthy blood flow.
Caution: May increase sensitivity to sunlight and has mild blood-thinning effects; use caution before procedures or if using similar supplements.
Dioscorea villosa (Wild yam)
Provides steroidal saponins that are studied for supporting hormonal balance and smooth muscle comfort.
Caution: May cause digestive upset in some people; discontinue if cramps or nausea occur.
Ginger root extract (Zingiber officinale)
Gingerols and shogaols influence digestive motility and may help modulate inflammatory signaling.
Caution: May have mild blood-thinning effects; use caution with similar products.
Black cohosh extract (Actaea racemosa)
Triterpene glycosides are studied for modulating neurotransmitter pathways linked to temperature and comfort.
Caution: Rare liver-related reports exist; stop use if unusual fatigue, dark urine, or jaundice appear.
How they work together
Vitex acts at the pituitary level to influence cycle-related hormones, while dong quai and wild yam offer botanical compounds linked to comfort and circulation. Ginger adds digestive support and modulates inflammatory signals, and black cohosh provides central nervous system modulation for temperature and comfort.
