About This Product
Organika PMS Relief is a once-daily herbal formula for women that puts lemon balm, chasteberry and dong quai together with vitamin B6 in one vegetarian capsule. Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve premenstrual symptoms. A bottle of 30 capsules covers a full month at the label dose.
What Organika PMS Relief is licensed for
PMS Relief is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80147668. The licence lists four recommended uses:
- Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve premenstrual symptoms.
- Used in Herbal Medicine to help stabilise menstrual cycle irregularities.
- Melissa officinalis is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve restlessness and/or nervousness.
- Helps to prevent vitamin B6 deficiency.
What's in each capsule
All three herbs are 10:1 extracts, so every milligram of extract is concentrated from ten milligrams of dried plant. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) leads the formula at 300 mg, equal to 3,000 mg of dried herb top. It is a member of the mint family with a long history in European herbal tradition.
Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) fruit and dong quai (Angelica sinensis) root follow at 100 mg each, equal to 1,000 mg of the dried fruit and root. Chasteberry has been a staple of Western herbalism for centuries, and dong quai holds a similar place in traditional Chinese practice.
Vitamin B6 is present as pyridoxine hydrochloride at 20 mg per capsule. The rest of the list is short: a hypromellose capsule shell, microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable-source magnesium stearate. There are no flavours, sweeteners or colours.
Why one combination capsule
Buying lemon balm, chasteberry, dong quai and B6 on their own means four bottles and four doses to remember. PMS Relief puts them in one capsule, and the label shows each herb with its dried-plant equivalent, so you can compare the amounts against single-herb products. One capsule a day also makes it easy to stay consistent across the whole month, not only in the days before your period.
How to take it
Women 19 and over take 1 capsule once a day. The full label cautions are under How to Take. Read them before you start, especially if you use hormonal birth control, hormone therapy or blood thinners. The formula is not for use during pregnancy, and the label advises avoiding sun exposure while you take it.
