Ingredients explained
Chaste tree extract (Vitex agnus-castus) (fruit)
Compounds in Vitex may influence dopamine receptors in the pituitary gland, which can modulate prolactin and help maintain a balanced oestrogen–progesterone relationship.
Caution: May interact with dopamine-related medicines or affect menstrual patterns; stop if unexpected cycle changes occur.
Black cohosh extract (Actaea racemosa) (root)
Triterpene glycosides are studied for binding to oestrogen‑related pathways and neurotransmitter systems, which may help with temperature regulation and mood balance.
Caution: Can cause digestive upset or headache in some; discontinue if unusual symptoms occur and avoid if there is a history of oestrogen‑sensitive conditions unless advised by a professional.
Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) (root)
Contains diosgenin, a plant steroidal sapogenin that is explored for its role in hormone pathway support and smooth muscle comfort.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort; seek advice if using alongside hormone‑related supplements.
Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark extract, Pinus pinaster)
Rich in procyanidins that act as antioxidants and support nitric oxide activity, which may aid microcirculation and collagen stability.
Caution: May enhance effects of blood‑thinning agents; monitor for easy bruising or bleeding.
How they work together
Vitex and black cohosh target hormone‑related pathways that may help with cycle balance and menopausal comfort, while wild yam offers additional support for hormone pathway modulation. Pycnogenol focuses on antioxidant activity and microcirculation, complementing the hormonal support with skin and vascular benefits.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use this product.
Who should be cautious: People with a history of liver concerns should use caution with products containing black cohosh and discuss with a healthcare provider. Individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions should seek personalised advice before use. If you take medications, especially due to the inclusion of black cohosh, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before combining.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
