Menstruation & PMS

Menstruation can come with physical and emotional challenges.  Hormone fluctuations control this natural cycle, which regulates your period and can affect many of your internal systems.  Estrogen and progesterone have the biggest role in controlling the menstrual cycle, which can be erratic especially in the teen years.  Things that can alter your cycle:  Low or high amount of body fat, losing or gaining a lot of weight, stress, and rigorous exercise. 

Many women have premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which may feature both physical and emotional responses that can range in intensity from being uncomfortable to debilitating.

• Discomfort in belly, back or legs    
• Bloating or water retention
• Depression or mood swings
• Gastrointestinal discomfort
• Tender breast tissue
• Tension
• Acne
• Less energy

Nutritional support can help with some of these normal effects of menstruation.
