Dealing with the symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome is difficult for many women. Many mild symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome can be addressed through the use of supplementation.   

Prime Feminene Female Support Formula is a dietary supplement created to help to counteract mild effects of Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), as well as other mild symptoms commonly associated with menopause or perimenopause. It may also help stabilize mood.

Specially formulated with selected nutrients, Prime Feminene includes herbs like black cohosh, dong quai, soy extract, wild yam and chasteberry. It also provides selected vitamins to help with stabilizing mood. Prime Feminene helps women keep their bodies healthy resulting in a more balanced life. When juggling so many things in life, the last thing women want to have are mood swings or to have to deal with the symptoms associated with PMS or menopause.

Black Cohosh Extract
Black cohosh is a perennial, shrub-like plant, native to the eastern deciduous forests of North America. Traditionally, Black Cohosh has been used to provide relief from menstrual cramps. Today, it is used for hot flashes associated with menopause and even for the symptoms of PMS. The precise mechanism of action is unknown, although, the triterpene glycosides are considered the active constituents along with the isoflavones, alkaloids and phenolic acids. Black Cohosh may have some effect on estrogen, which is the female hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle. Low estrogen levels have been linked with the some menopausal symptoms so Black Cohosh may help to reduce some of the discomfort associated with menopause.

Soy Extract (Soy Isoflavones, 3%)
Soy extract contains isoflavones which are believed to act like phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are nonsteriodal compounds that possess estrogen-like biological activity and come from plants.  Soy isoflavones have weak estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects. Soy isoflavones include three main isoflavones, which are the aglycones genistein, daidzein and glycitein. Soy may help to alleviate mild menopausal symptoms.

Dong Quai Root Extract
Dong quai has been used in traditional Chinese and Native American medicine for thousands of years. The plant is related to both parsley and celery; its health properties come from the root. Dong quai is often referred to as the female ginseng because of its homeostatic effects during menstruation. Its most common use is to manage mild cramps and pain during menstruation as well as to alleviate some of the mild symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes. The specific mechanism of action is unknown but coumarin, ferulic acid and ligustilide appear to be the active constituents. Dong quai cannot act as a replacement for estrogen (although, some studies have shown that it has a similar effect as isoflavones), nor does it have any hormone-like effects on the body.

Wild Yam
Wild Yam is a member of the Dioscorea family, which also includes the potato. The family is named for Dioscorides, who was the first-century Greek physician whose botanical writings were the standard for more than one thousand years. The dried roots are the health-promoting part of the plant. Wild yam has been historically used for reducing the mild symptoms associated with menstruation and menopause, including cramping, hot flashes and occasional fatigue. It is native to North America, but the plant can be cultivated in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions all around the world. Steroidal saponins are the active constituents of wild yam, commonly used as hormone precursors in the body’s normal manufacture of progesterone.

Chaste Berry Extract (Vitex agnus-castus)
Chaste berry extract or Vitex, is a shrub native to the Mediterranean and Central Asia, but can also be found around the United States. It is generally used in dietary supplements for promoting normal levels of female hormones and for mild symptoms of PMS and menopause. The flavonoids casticin, isovitexin and orientin are the main constituents of chaste berry extract. Because of its ability to support hormones it is often used to promote a healthy menstrual cycle. PMS often occurs during the luteal phase of menstruation, thus supporting hormone balance during this phase may help to counteract mild adverse effects of PMS.

Horsetail
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense), also known as Peterwort, Dutch rushes, Shave-grass and Bottlebrush, is named from the bristly appearance of its jointed stems. The plant is found throughout the northern hemisphere, and only the stems exhibit beneficial health-related properties. Horsetail is a natural source of silicon, iron and sodium, but also contains high amounts of calcium, chromium, crude fiber, magnesium, potassium, selenium and vitamin A. Horsetail is an excellent source of silicic acid, which contributes to its health benefits. Horsetail is commonly used to promote urinary health, but has also been shown to be helpful with mild symptoms of PMS and menopause.

Red Clover
Red clover, like soy, contains high levels of isoflavones, which have subtle estrogen-like properties. Red clover helps to reduce some symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes. Red Clover is a small perennial herb with red or white flowers. It is native to Europe, central Asia, and northern Africa, but is also naturalized in many other parts of the world. Only the flowers are used in health supplements.

Valerian Root
Valerian Root (Valerian officinalis) produces bright pink to white flowers, and grows 20 to 40 inches tall. It is native to Europe and temperate regions of Asia, and is cultivated in Europe, Japan and the United States. The Ancient Greek physician Galen referred to valerian as “Phu,” which is an expression of disgust at the plants smell. It was given the name ‘all-heal’ in medieval times due to its natural healing properties. It is usually prepared as a tea, taken in capsule or tablet form, or used to make a bath additive. Valerian Root is commonly used as a natural sleep aid, but is also used for reducing the mild symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and menopause.

Passiflora
Passiflora, also known as the passionflower, has been used as a remedy for occasional sleep difficulty and restlessness. Passiflora is a perennial vine, which reaches 30 feet in length. It grows naturally from the southeastern United States to Brazil and Argentina, and is cultivated as a garden plant in Europe.

Red Sage
Sage (Salvia officinalis) has been used as a dietary supplement for years. Sage is native to the Mediterranean region, but is now grown in all of Europe and North America. In the United States, sage is primarily used as a seasoning, but it has a long history of other uses abroad. Sage’s healthy properties are found in its dried leaves and the oil that is extracted from its flowers, leaves and stems. It has been used for a variety of purposes, including helping to control hot flashes and to alleviate mild adverse symptoms of PMS including cramps. It may also help with the excessive perspiration from hot flashes.

Tribulus terrestris
Tribulus terrestris (puncture vine) is a perennial plant, commonly found in India and Africa. It has been commonly used in Ayurvedic mixtures. It’s active components include saponins which  may help with hormonal balance.

Thiamin (Vitamin B1)
Thiamin plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. It is required for a healthy nervous system and helps in maintaining healthy enzyme function.

Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5)
Pantothenic acid is used in the release of energy, as well as in the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for many aspects of health. It promotes skin health and it is also important for the conversion of food to energy. Niacin (also known as vitamin B3) is found in dairy products, poultry, fish, lean meats, nuts and eggs as well as legumes and enriched breads and cereals.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Vitamin B2 is found in liver, dairy products, dark green vegetables and some types of seafood. Vitamin B2 serves as a co-enzyme, working with other B vitamins. It supports healthy skin. Vitamin B2 plays a crucial role in turning food into energy. Vitamin B2 aids in the breakdown of fats while functioning as a cofactor or helper in activating B6 and folic acid. Vitamin B2 is water-soluble and cannot be stored by the body; thus, it must be replenished daily.

Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6)
Poultry, fish, whole grains and bananas are the main dietary sources of vitamin B6. It also assists in the maintenance of healthy red and white blood cells. Vitamin B6 is required for haemoglobin synthesis and helps to maintain healthy brain and nerve function.
 
Folic Acid
Folic acid is mainly found in fruits and vegetables. Dark leafy greens, oranges, orange juice, beans and peas are the best sources as well as Brewer’s yeast, which supplies additional B-vitamins. Folic acid plays a key role by boosting the benefits of vitamin B12 supplementation. These two B-vitamins join forces and work together in maintaining normal red blood cells.

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin is one of the naturally occurring forms of vitamin B12 found in the human body. The liver must convert cyanocobalamin, the form of B12 most commonly used in supplements, into methylcobalamin, before it can be properly utilized by the body. Vitamin B12 is naturally found in meats, liver, beef, pork, eggs, whole milk, cheese, whole wheat bread and fish. Vitamin B12 can only be found in animal products, with small amounts derived from fermented soy products such as miso, tempeh, and peanuts.  It is essential that individuals who are not able to obtain adequate amounts through diets consume a vitamin B12 supplement to maintain optimal health.

Vitamin B12 itself is responsible for maintaining optimum energy levels as it plays a vital role in the Krebs energy cycle. It also supports healthy nervous system.

Vitamin E
The most valuable sources of dietary vitamin E include vegetable oils, margarine, nuts, seeds, avocados and wheat germ. Safflower oil contains large amounts of vitamin E and there are trace amounts in corn oil and soybean oil. Vitamin E is actually a family of related compounds called tocopherols and tocotrienols. The main health benefit of supplemental vitamin E comes from its immune supporting antioxidant activity. Vitamin E is one of the fat-soluble antioxidants in the body. In turn, vitamin E helps protects cell membranes from free radical damage. Vitamin E may be helpful in counteracting mild effects of PMS.

What is menopause, and when does it start?
Menopause is the ceasing of the monthly female menstrual cycle. Some common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and sleeplessness.

Prior to menopause, some women experience perimenopause, a period of time that can include many of the symptoms of menopause before menstruation stops.

What are estrogens?
Estrogens are a group of steroid compounds that are named for their importance in the estrus cycle. They function as the primary female sex hormone. Estrogen is present in men and women, but is usually at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age. Estrogen is produced mainly in the developing follicles in the ovaries, but some is also produced by secondary sources such as the liver, adrenal glands and breasts. The secondary sources are particularly important for post-menopausal women.
