PMS & PMDD SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL
I have created this protocol to help improve your PMS or PMDD symptoms. This will be helpful in reducing your most bothersome physical and emotional symptoms like anxiety, depressed mood and mood swings, food cravings, bloating and acne.
I suggest following this protocol for 8-12 weeks to see improvement in your symptoms. You may see improvement sooner or it may take a little longer, depending on how long you’ve had these symptoms and what else is going on with your health. Please always take supplements with food.

For international users, you can order these through iHerb.com or Amazon.
THE PROTOCOL
Magnesium Plus
Seeking Health
If there was one mineral that I would recommend to women, magnesium would be it. It has such a profound effect on our periods that I call it the period mineral! Magnesium appears to become depleted by cyclical changes in the female sex hormones during the luteal phase, which explains why it helps prevent feelings of nervousness, anxiety and irritability–goodbye PMS! It’s also been shown to reduce bloating, breast tenderness, sleeplessness and works amazingly well for period pain and migraines.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
Pure Encapsulations
NAC supports ovulation and thus progesterone production. NAC is also a precursor to glutathione, one of the body’s chief antioxidants. It protects the liver from environmental damage, which will help it do its job of properly breaking down used-up estrogen.
Vitamin D3 & K2
Nutra BioGenesis
Vitamin D plays an important role in follicle development, follicle sensitivity to FSH, and progesterone production, which will support moods in the second half of the cycle.
Liver-G.I. Detox
Pure Encapsulations
This product contains ingredients that will help improve estrogen levels in the body by supporting the phases of estrogen metabolism in the liver. It also contains powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients to reduce inflammation in the body which will support your brain health and moods.
Ashwagandha
Pure Encapsulations
Commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine, this popular herb has been around for thousands of years. It is not only an effective anti-anxiety remedy, but can also treat fatigue and sleep disorders and boost endurance. It has helped a number of my clients with amenorrhea get their periods back due to its calming effect on the HPA axis and the nervous system.
