PMS Support Gummies — For the Week That Decides the Month

Most of the month you are yourself. Then, five to ten days before your period, cramps, a mood that will not sit still, and a body that feels twice its weight. Taking a supplement in that window is not the same thing as taking nothing all month.

What is in it

• Chasteberry — studied specifically during the luteal phase, not round the clock.
• Evening primrose oil — GLA, for cyclical breast tenderness.
• Vitamin B6 — one of the few nutrients with a real evidence base for premenstrual mood.
• Magnesium glycinate — for cramps rather than for sleep, at 400 mg elemental.

When to take it

Start on day 14 and stop when your period begins. That is a two-week bottle for most cycles, which is why this one is priced for a cycle rather than a month.

Who it is for

Cyclical symptoms with a clear pattern. If the symptoms are present every day of the month, this is not the right bottle — that pattern needs a doctor, and probably blood tests.
