Quick Answer
Each two-gummy serving delivers 20mg of vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride), a 111mg PMS Support Blend of chasteberry fruit extract, cranberry fruit extract and dong quai root extract, and 100mcg of black pepper fruit extract. It's vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free, in a lush strawberry flavor, with 60 gummies (30 servings) per bottle.
What's Actually Inside
Vitamin B6 (20mg, as pyridoxine hydrochloride) — An essential vitamin the body uses to make neurotransmitters, including serotonin[1]. It's one of the most-studied vitamins for premenstrual symptoms: the U.S. Office on Women's Health notes B6 may help with moodiness, irritability, forgetfulness, bloating and anxiety[6]. At 20mg per serving it's about 15 times the RDA for adult women and well under the 100mg daily upper limit[1]. More on B6 →
Chasteberry fruit extract (Vitex agnus-castus) — The most-researched herb for PMS. In a placebo-controlled trial, it significantly improved irritability, mood changes, anger, headache and breast fullness[2]. More on chasteberry →
Dong quai root extract (Angelica sinensis) — Known as "female ginseng" and listed as "Angelica Root" on the bottle, this is one of the most widely used herbs in traditional Chinese practice for premenstrual breast swelling, mood changes, bloating and cramps[3]. More on dong quai →
Cranberry fruit extract (Vaccinium macrocarpon) — A fruit rich in proanthocyanidins, best known for its research in urinary tract health[4]. It rounds out the blend with everyday women's wellness support.
Black pepper fruit extract (Piper nigrum, 100mcg) — Black pepper's active compound, piperine, is well known for increasing how much of certain plant compounds the body absorbs; in one landmark study it dramatically boosted curcumin absorption[5]. It's a common companion in botanical formulas.
Other ingredients: glucose syrup, sugar, tricalcium phosphate, pectin, medium chain triglycerides, citric acid, sodium citrate, natural strawberry flavor, palm oil, carnauba wax, and purple carrot juice concentrate (for color). Each serving has 20 calories and 5g of added sugar.
Why We Formulated It This Way
Premenstrual symptoms are both emotional and physical, so we built Her PMS around two of the most-researched ingredients for how PMS feels — vitamin B6 and chasteberry — and surrounded them with dong quai and cranberry, two botanicals with a long history in women's wellness. Black pepper extract joins the botanicals, and pectin keeps the gummy vegan. The result is a single daily ritual made to help ease occasional moodiness, irritability and tension before your period, in a flavor you'll actually look forward to.*
The botanicals are combined in a 111mg PMS Support Blend, which means the label lists the blend's total weight rather than each herb separately. Vitamin B6 and black pepper extract are listed individually.
How to Take It
For adults, chew two gummies per day as needed, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed three servings (six gummies) per day. Most research on B6 and chasteberry looked at daily use over two to three cycles, so consistency matters more than timing.
Not intended for use by pregnant or nursing women or anyone under 18. If you take any medications — including hormonal birth control or blood thinners — or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before use.
