Supplements:
Female Comfort A combination of 8 herbs which supports and balances the female reproductive system. Over the years, I have found this to be the best formula for balancing female hormones on the market. I don’t think I have ever had anyone not get some benefits from it. Take 6 capsules per day during the first month, then reduce slowly each month to find the level that is right for you. Some women find they can just take the formula 10 days before the period is due
Nutri-Calm A high potency B-Complex vitamin formula, with added vitamin C to support stress. It is in a base of calming herbs to counteract the effects of stress and nourish the nervous system. Adequate B-vitamins are needed by the liver to help break down excess hormones each month.2 -3 per day
