Monthly Comfort Bio-Aligned Formula
PMS Relief

Eighty percent of women experience physiological and emotional changes during the premenstrual period. Up to 40% of these women experience challenges to their well-being. Monthly Comfort is a Bio-Aligned Formula that addresses multiple systems related to premenstrual changes: hormone balance, the liver and detoxification, the brain and nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, and blood sugar regulation.

Monthly Comfort PMS Relief Formula

• Brain & Nervous System
  Certain nutrients are essential for proper functioning of the nervous system, including synthesis of neurotransmitters, brain chemicals that can affect mood. The body requires phenylalanine for production of the neurotransmitters epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine. Taurine is another amino acid; it functions as a calming neurotransmitter.
  
  
• Blood Sugar Regulation
  Many women experience cravings for chocolate and carbohydrates prior to menses. Balanced blood sugar levels are important for maintaining an even mood and high energy levels and for reducing stress on the adrenal glands. Chromium, a constituent of Glucose Tolerance Factor, assists insulin in transporting glucose in the cells.
  
  
• Musculoskeletal System
  Some nutrients have a relaxing effect on the nervous system, bringing ease and comfort to muscles. Some herbs also affect the musculoskeletal system in this way. Relaxation of the physical body and emotional wellbeing are interconnected, so that influencing one system benefits the related system as well.
  
  
• Hormone Balance
  Hormonal balance during monthly cycles is important. Chasteberry is believed to have a regulatory effect on the female hormonal system through its action on the pituitary gland. It has been shown to increase comfort levels in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Dong quai comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is used to build blood and promote circulation. Black cohosh contains phytoestrogens and is also used in TCM to improve blood circulation and to regulate and ease the menstrual cycle.
  
  
• Liver & Detoxification
  One of the vital functions of the liver is the activation and breakdown of hormones. Some holistic practitioners believe that liver function may play a role in PMS. They theorize that a liver burdened by toxins from the environment, food and drugs may not metabolize hormones properly, leading to imbalances that cause discomfort. Herbs and nutrients are included to cleanse and detoxify the liver and support liver function.
