Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex Agnus-Castus) is a deciduous shrub native to Central Asia and the Mediterranean. Traditionally, chaste tree has a long history of use as a reproductive tonic to balance hormones and menstrual function. It is thought to help restore the estrogen-progesterone ratio. Vitex is utilized by herbalists to help women with all types of irregular menstrual cycles including periods that are too short or too long, too frequent or too unpredictably infrequent. Other conditions that women have used vitex for are PMS, perimenopausal symptoms, recurrent miscarriage, PCOS, fibrocystic breasts, and more. Curcumin C3 Complex® (Turmeric Extract). This trademarked extract of turmeric contains a mixture of curcuminoids including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Turmeric is a yellow culinary spice with numerous medicinal benefits, such as scavenging free radicals, stimulating the synthesis of the endogenous antioxidant glutathione, and reducing inflammation. Curcumin displays potent anti- inflammatory actions by inhibiting the formation of the pro-inflammatory mediators thromboxane & prostaglandin. Turmeric does not interfere with beneficial prostaglandin production and therefore does not harm the stomach lining like pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories such as aspirin and ibuprofen. In terms of applications specific to female health, curcumin has been shown in animal studies to improve ovarian function and reverse disturbance in oxidative stress parameters. Curcumin modulates estrogen receptivity in many tissues like the breast, uterus, and cervix, supporting its traditional use for conditions like endometriosis. Boswellia serrata is found throughout western and central India. This Ayurvedic herb is often used to help people with inflammatory diseases like arthritis, asthma, and colitis. Like turmeric, Boswellia does not cause the gastric side effects exhibited by pharmaceutical NSAIDs. Studies support its use as an anti- inflammatory agent that can help reduce pain, including menstrual pain. Preliminary in vitro research demonstrates that Boswellia may help ameliorate endometriosis. It has also been shown to help with heavy menstrual bleeding by reducing the amount and duration of bleeding and improve quality of life. Placenta (Bovine, New Zealand)– Glandular-derived medicines were commonly used in Western medicine before synthetic pharmaceuticals became widely available. The use of glandular therapy is based on the idea that the organs or glands of mammals are structurally similar to their human counterparts and would contain micronutrients and other ingredients needed to bolster proper function in patients. Glandular therapy is less common in recent generations in America although it has a long history of use in many other cultures. People have traditionally eaten every edible part of animals including organs and glands. As a form of medicine, glandulars have played a role in early American medical practice, traditional European medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and other medical traditions. Consuming encapsulated placenta has become more popular in industrialized countries over the past decade or so, and research has shown this is overall safe and may provide trace micronutrients.
