GNC Women’s Ultra PMS Formula

January 24, 2008

Relief of the symptoms from PMS concerns sufferers almost as much as how they can get that relief, and whether it is a healthy option, or compounding their hormonal problems by adding chemical remedies. That’s why so many women are turning to more natural formulas that derive their benefits from plant extracts and naturally occurring elements that deal with the painful and aggravating symptoms.

Some synthetic birth control pills do advertise that their ingredients reduce fluid retention, and as a consequence, some of the weight gain and emotional issues. But not all women can take birth control pills, and others prefer more natural ways to cope with their hormonal stresses.

Femalite is one choice that utilizes a proprietary blend of natural ingredients to treat the most common symptoms of PMS, or pre-menstrual syndrome. The three essential components are drawn from foeniculum vulgari (sweet fennel), pulsatilla vulgaris (pasque flower) and Melissa Officinal (lemon balm).

Girls over the age of 12 can take 15 drops in a little water, two or three times a day, starting five days before their period is due, and continue into the first day or two. Alternately, women may start using it at that dosage, on the first sign of their usual symptoms.

While it does not have the side effects of synthetic drugs or hormones, there are instances where people can be allergic to the ingredients, or they may be contraindicated for certain health conditions, or people taking specific medications. Always check with your doctor, to see if this is an appropriate choice for you.
