How to take it?

PMS Hero®

  • Take two capsules each day to help regulate hormones throughout your cycle. Take your two capsules together or separately.
  • PMS Hero® is best taken daily throughout the month.
  • You can take PMS Hero® a few days before the onset of PMS, however if this doesn't address your PMS signs, we recommend taking PMS Hero® each day to support your energy and mood and ensuring you enjoy the full benefits before and during your period.
  • Avoid PMS Hero® if you are pregnant or suffer from a history of blood clotting or are at risk of clotting, or are currently taking blood thinner medication or anticoagulants. Consult with your GP or healthcare provider if you're taking any prescribed medication before taking PMS Hero® or other food supplements.

    If you find that you only need to take one capsule a day that's fine.

    You may begin to feel a difference within a week or two, depending on when you begin taking PMS Hero®. The majority of customers feel the full benefits of PMS Hero® during their second cycle after starting to take it each day.

pH Hero®

  • Take two capsules daily.
  • You can take your capsules together or separately, at the time of day that suits
    you best. 
  • For optimal results, we recommend taking your dose in the morning, or at
    lunchtime, however, for some it may be better taken in the evenings. It’s
    important to adjust to what works best for you.

How it works?

Our Female Balance Bundle includes clinically studied ingredients to help support complete vaginal health during menstruation.

Supports a healthy vaginal microbiome and balances the vagina pH, protecting against recurring infections

pH Hero® includes 5 bacterial strains that are natural to the health of the vagina and urinary tract. The bacterial strains have been clinically studied for the effects they have on epithelial barriers (cells on the inside and outside of the surfaces of our body) and the growth of unhealthy bacteria in the vagina, bladder and gut. 

The Lactobacilli species in particular have been shown to support the acidity of the bladder as well as the urinary tract through lactic acid production, and in turn, can help in rebalancing the vaginal microbiome.1-3

Lactobacillus acidophilus: Repopulating our colon with the Lactobacilli species supports creating a healthy environment for the female genitals. Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the most researched strains of bacteria studied to support and maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome, and research shows a healthy lactobacilli-dominated flora can help in preventing sexually transmitted diseases and maintaining the quality of life of women.  

pH Hero® includes Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri strains, which provide the two most effective strains for the prevention of urinary tract infections.  Lactobacillus rhamnosus, which is commonly found in a healthy vaginal microbiome, has been clinically shown to help maintain a healthy pH. Lactobacillus reuteri has proven to be effective in maintaining a healthy vaginal pH when combined with other Lactobacilli strains. L. reuteri can help crowd out unhealthy organisms and strengthen the vagina’s natural defences against organisms like ‘Candida Albicans’, a well-known yeast commonly implicated in vaginal yeast infections.6-8,10-12

Lactobacillus plantarum helps to balance and reset vaginal pH and restores the diversity of microflora. L. plantarum supports the gut microbiome but is also able to reach the vaginal epithelial cells and can play a significant role in helping prevent the occurrence of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), a type of infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast. L. plantarum has been shown to have strong anti-microbial activity against bacteria including E.coli which is responsible for the development of urinary tract infections.10-13

Lactobacillus crispatus is a probiotic strain proven to reach the vagina and has been extensively studied for how it contributes to a healthy vaginal microflora, and helps prevent the overgrowth of yeast and other unwanted bacterial infections.

Vaginal dryness and discomfort

Sea buckthorn has been extensively studied for its role in supporting the body's mucosal function and helping provide a protective barrier in the vagina. Research shows it may help protect against vaginal dryness and maintain healthy skin from within. Studies show Sea Buckthorn can improve vaginal health within 3 months, including significantly improving the integrity of the vaginal epithelium (the inner lining of the vagina), thus reducing signs of vaginal atrophy.24-27

Supports a healthy urinary tract

pH Hero® provides Cranberry Extract at the optimal dose of 4g per serving. Cranberries have a well-established role in the prevention of urinary tract infections by supporting the body’s defences against external agents through their powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect the cells from oxidative damage and support a healthy urinary tract. Cranberries also support our overall physical wellbeing.

Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (PACs) and research shows that the consumption of cranberries helps prevent the adhesion of particularly harmful bacterial strains to the urothelial cells of the bladder. This, in turn, helps with the early stages of urinary tract infections.30-32

Parsley and Nettle both support urinary tract function and normal urinary flow, including the excretion function of the kidneys. This ensures the body is efficiently eliminating toxins that can otherwise contribute to infections.

Regulates hormonal balance

The vaginal pH and microbiome change with the hormonal changes women go through, during the menstrual cycle, through pregnancy and through menopause. Vitamin B6 is an essential vitamin to regulate hormonal balance, and pH Hero® includes 2.8mg (200% NRV) of Vitamin B6 to support and regulate hormone activity.

Immune and gut health support

Immune support

  • Supporting the immune system is an important aspect of supporting gut and vaginal health.
  • pH Hero® provides a high potency of Cranberry Extract at the optimal dose of 4g per serving, rich in nutrients including Vitamin C and plant polyphenols. Vitamin C provides immune support and offers protection against oxidative stress, which in turn helps build resilience against the development of further infections, as well as supporting a swift recovery when feeling under the weather. Nettle and Vitamin B6 also provide valuable support for the immune system.

Gut health support

  • Supporting the gut flora plays an important part in supporting the immune system - at least 70% of the body’s immune system is fuelled by our gut. pH Hero® provides the synergistic combination of inulin, a prebiotic fibre and 5 Probiotic bacterial strains. Inulin provides an important type of gut-friendly fibre found in many plants and which helps other gut-friendly bacteria grow.

Supporting hormone balance

It may sound surprising, but supporting the liver supports a healthy oestrogen metabolism, which in turn supports hormonal balance and reduces common signs associated with oestrogen dominance, and reduces PMS signs.

Dandelion Root has been used for centuries to support the liver and is an important botanical for women’s hormonal balance. Rich in inulin, polysaccharides, potassium and ‘Sesquiterpene Lactones’, Dandelion Root provides a natural source of prebiotics and fibre. Research shows it exerts antioxidant properties, which contribute to gastrointestinal wellbeing, helping with common signs associated with PMS, including bloating and abdominal cramps. 

Regulating irregular periods will also help with overall PMS tension and provide digestive support. Research shows that gut health plays a vital role in supporting healthy hormonal balance. Dandelion has been shown to stimulate the growth of 14 strains of bifidobacteria and help reduce the overgrowth of unhealthy (pathogenic) bacteria. Dandelion is also extensively used as a ‘tonic’ for the gallbladder, supporting the body’s detoxifying abilities by helping eliminate the effects of pollution and toxins.

Magnesium and Vitamin B6 support hormonal regularity. Magnesium has been found to relax muscles and soothe abdominal and muscular cramps. Combining bio-available forms of Magnesium and B vitamins, in particular, is an effective way of supporting women’s hormonal imbalances. PMS Hero® includes the most bioavailable and active forms of B vitamins, including Folate (as calcium L-methyl Folate). Magnesium and Folate are key nutrients supporting normal hormone metabolism and helping regulate the menstrual cycle.

Agnus Castus, also referred to as Chasteberry, is a botanical herb traditionally used for its hormone-modulating properties and has been extensively studied for its effects on regulating PMS related issues. Research has shown it provides support for menstrual-related breast pain (‘mastalgia). In addition, for the more severe form of PMS, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), research indicates Chasteberry provides support from the psychological and physical PMDD issues experienced.

Dong Quai, also referred to as Angelica sinensis, is a well-known herb with long traditional use in Chinese medicine as a ‘female tonic’. It has been used for women’s health during different stages of their lives, including the pre-menstrual period and the menopausal transition. Dong Quai supports both the physical and emotional signs that arise with PMS and in turn, can help support the menstrual cycle holistically throughout the whole month.15-17

Bromelain, derived from the stem, fruit and juice of the pineapple plant, is a protein-digestive enzyme used for centuries, and research indicates Bromelain can help reduce swelling that can arise through PMS.

Mental and emotional wellbeing

Supporting signs of PMS involves giving the body the right tools to address stress that can arise at this time of the month. Learn more about the impact of PMS on stress and mood in the recently conducted survey.

Ashwagandha KSM-66® provides natural inner calm and relaxation and is an extensively clinically studied botanical found to help reduce stress. Ashwagandha KSM-66® is a full-spectrum extract obtained from Ashwagandha’s root - it is the most clinically trialled and world-wide acclaimed form of Ashwagandha. The root of the Ashwagandha is superior to the leaves because the root contains the highest concentration of the active constituent, ‘withanolides’. The extraction process is pure and involves no nasty chemicals, alcohol or solvents.23

Shatavari, often referred to as the 'Queen of Herbs', has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Like Ashwagandha, it is referred to as an ‘adaptogen’ and helps support the body and mind to better cope with unique stressors encountered throughout the day. Shatavari helps signs of PMS including stress, irritability, and brings the body to a state where it can better cope calmly with physical and emotional stress.

These key botanicals, vitamins and minerals provided in their most bio-available doses and forms, along with a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle, can help soothe the nervous system and provide optimal support for your emotional wellbeing.

Vitamins B1, B6, Folate (B9) and the mineral Magnesium also provide psychological wellbeing support. Folate provides support for normal blood formation and normal homocysteine metabolism, which in turn supports regular menstrual cycles and a stable mood. PMS Hero® provides the highly-absorbed and utilised form of Folate, Calcium-L-methyfolate.

Regulate blood sugar levels and support better skin

PMS Hero® includes Chromium which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels. Chromium also supports macronutrient metabolism, which fuels the breakdown of food (carbohydrates, fats and protein) into a form of energy for the body to utilise.

Stable blood glucose levels are vital to steady levels of energy and maintaining a balanced mood - fluctuations in mood are a common sign of PMS and can cause irritability

Vitamin B3 in PMS Hero® contributes to healthier skin. Breakouts and fluctuations in skin health are common signs of PMS and, along with Chromium, Vitamin B3 helps protect the skin during the hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle.

Sustained energy levels and better sleep

PMS Hero® helps contribute to improved energy levels. It supports daily focus and mental clarity, enabling you to keep up with your daily routine and performance. PMS Hero® includes key B vitamins at optimal doses, in their most efficient forms, for appropriate absorption and utilisation by the body.

Niacin (B1), Vitamin B5, B6 and Magnesium contribute to energy-yielding metabolism.

Niacin (B1), Vitamins B5, B6, Folate and Magnesium also contribute to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue.

How your gut and vagina are linked

The gut and vagina are connected by a number of mechanisms, including nerve pathways and hormones. If the gut microbiome is not healthy, it can have a ripple effect on the vaginal microbiome, and disrupt the delicate balance of the vaginal microbiome. A high-fibre diet full of probiotics and prebiotic foods can really help support your gut flora and vaginal flora. Learn more.
