Support of hormonal balance during the cycle.

Vitex agnus‑castus (also known as monk's pepper) is one of the most researched botanical ingredients for supporting the female cycle. Scientific studies suggest that Vitex works by interacting with the dopamine system, which can influence prolactin levels and thus contribute to a more balanced hormonal rhythm during the menstrual cycle.
This mechanism explains why Vitex is traditionally used to support emotional balance, breast tenderness, and cycle-related discomfort. Importantly, research shows that standardized Vitex extracts are significantly more effective than raw powder. Therefore, we use a carefully dosed extract instead of a high milligram count without standardization.

Energy, relaxation and support of the nervous system.

Magnesium plays a central role in hundreds of biochemical processes in the body, including energy production and nervous system regulation. During the luteal phase of the cycle, magnesium needs may increase. Scientific literature links magnesium intake to reduced fatigue, improved relaxation, and support for emotional stability, all of which are particularly relevant during PMS-related phases.
We chose magnesium bisglycinate because this form is gentle on the stomach and has a high bioavailability, allowing your body to absorb and use it efficiently.

Supports mood and neurotransmitter balance.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and supports the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Several studies have examined vitamin B6 in relation to PMS-related mood changes, suggesting that adequate intake can help support emotional balance and reduce irritability and low energy levels.

We use P5P (pyridoxal 5 phosphate), the active form of vitamin B6, so the body does not have to convert it first.

Emotional balance and support for cravings

Saffron is one of the most promising natural ingredients studied for emotional well-being. Research shows that standardized saffron extracts contain bioactive compounds, such as crocin and safranal, which are associated with mood support and emotional balance.

Several clinical studies have investigated saffron's role in supporting mood during challenging phases, including PMS-related emotional swings and food cravings. What makes saffron special is that it's effective even in very low doses, ideal for a carefully balanced daily capsule.
