PMS: The Best Way to Find Relief

The most common PMS symptoms include:

• Fatigue
• Bloating
• Irritability
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Cramps
• Swelling or tenderness of the breasts

Unfortunately, while it’s easy to reach for products at the drugstore that are marketed for premenstrual symptom relief, many of these medications can have a negative impact on intestinal health—which can further contribute to hormonal imbalances. Luckily, there is another option. The lignan-rich flaxseed extract, known as phytoestrogen, is metabolized by probiotics in the intestine and enhances bioavailability in the body. Flaxseed extracts as phytoestrogens can relieve premenstrual issues and irregularities. Estrogen levels can drop during certain times of the menstrual cycle, causing uncomfortable symptoms. If estrogen can be replaced with phytoestrogens, these symptoms may be relieved. Also, resveratrol is one of a group of plant compounds known as polyphenols. The compound has anti-inflammatory properties and decreases oxidative stress. Recent research has shown that resveratrol is effective on ovary health to improve your menstrual cycle. If you want to naturally reduce uncomfortable PMS symptoms as safely as possible, try Vesta’s Lunar Balance, a specially formulated supplement made for women.
