HERBalance

PMS is a complex combination of psychological symptoms including irritability, aggression, tension, anxiety, and depression along with somatic changes such as fluid retention, breast tenderness, headache, feeling of bloating, and weight increase.

Women are affected irrespective of socioeconomic status, race, or cultural background.The causes of PMS have not been clearly elucidated but have been attributed to hormonal change, neurotransmitters, diet, and lifestyle.

The ingredients of the HERBalance formula work synergistically to not only reduce problems related to PMS, but also to help balance sugar, salt and other hunger cravings, and even boost mood and energy.The amino acids in HERBalance are those used in the brain and body to make the key neurotransmitters that balance appetite and elevate mood and well being.

The primary ingredient contributing to the anti-PMS effects of HERBalance is a berry called the Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus castus: Agni casti fructus). Chaste is one of the oldest phytomedicines, being used by ancient Greek physicians in the time of Hypocrates and carries an excellent track record in relieving complaints collectively referred to as Premenstrual Syndrome.

The effects of Chaste can include the rectification of issues causing heavy or frequent periods, lack of ovulation, ovarian cysts, and sometimes lack of period. Interestingly, although the Chaste Tree Berry contains compounds that are similar in structure to the sex hormones, Chaste has no direct hormonal activity and is therefore NOT phytoestrogen.

A survey study in Germany looked at 1,542 women diagnosed with PMS 4 These patients were tried on a liquid extract of the Chaste Tree Berry, 40 drops per day over a period of 166 days, on average. Over 90% of the subjects experienced complete symptom remission.

In a 1997 study, Chaste was evaluated against Vitamin B6 in 175 women diagnosed with PMS. 5 Twenty-four percent of the Chaste patients reported “excellent” results as compared to 12% of the B6 patients.  Auspiciously, the two ingredients have been combined in this extraordinary, well-rounded formula so that you can retain the benefits of both!  The means to achieving results with HERBalance is to stay on it. You should notice tremendous relief around your 3rd or 4th menstrual cycle.

HERBalance also contains DL-phenylalanine. DLPA is a potent amino acid that assists in the ability to focus and concentrate. The L-phenylalanine component is used in the body to make norepinephrine, an adrenaline like substance that increases mood, attention, and energy, and also works with appetite balance.

D-phenylalanine is an even more powerful mood elevator, that boosts endorphin effects, much as do falling in love, eating chocolate, and long distance running. This ingredient can help reduce the feelings of hopelessness or reduction is self-esteem often accompanying PMS. Studies have also shown that DLPA in higher doses may relieve chronic pain as effectively as prescription medications.

In addition, vitamins B3, B5, and B6 are added to HERBalance to help provide everything the body needs to make the desired neurotransmitters for enhanced energy and mood and a balanced appetite. These vitamins may further improve many other aspects PMS symptoms.
