The week before your period can feel like a lot: shorter fuse, more tension, everything feels heavier. The Her Calm Duo pairs our PMS gummy with ashwagandha. Here's what each one actually does.
Written by Vita Globe Editorial Team | Reviewed against peer-reviewed research and NIH guidance
Why pair a PMS supplement with ashwagandha?
They cover different things. Chasteberry and vitamin B6, the core of our Her PMS Gummies, are the ingredients most studied specifically for PMS symptoms.[1][2] Ashwagandha is an adaptogen traditionally used to help the body manage occasional stress, and some small studies suggest it may help with stress.[3]
Caveat: None of these research areas is huge, and ashwagandha hasn't been studied specifically for PMS. Think of this as a cycle-support routine plus a calm routine, not a cure for PMS.

Why these two are bundled together
A lot of women tell us the hardest part of PMS week isn't physical, it's feeling on edge. This duo pairs our cycle-focused gummy with our Ashwagandha Gummies, so you get both in one routine, priced lower than buying them separately.
For the bigger picture on what helps PMS, see Best Supplements for PMS: What the Research Actually Supports. This article focuses on what's in the bundle and how to use it.
What Her PMS actually does
Our Her PMS Gummies combine 20mg of vitamin B6 with a 111mg blend of chasteberry (vitex), cranberry and dong quai. Chasteberry is the most-studied herb for PMS, and some studies suggest it may help with symptoms like irritability, mood changes and breast tenderness, though the research quality varies.[1] Vitamin B6 has also been studied for PMS, with mixed results.[2]
Most of that research looked at daily use over two to three cycles, so this isn't a take-it-when-cramps-hit product. For the full breakdown, see Chasteberry (Vitex) for PMS: Benefits, Research, and Side Effects.
What ashwagandha actually does
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for thousands of years. Some small studies suggest it may help with stress and sleep, but the studies were short and the evidence is limited.[3] Our Ashwagandha Gummies give you 25mg of ashwagandha per tart cherry gummy, one a day.
Ashwagandha isn't for everyone. It shouldn't be used during pregnancy, it may affect thyroid hormone levels, and rare cases of liver problems have been reported.[3] Check with your doctor if you take thyroid medication, sedatives or other prescriptions.
The honest summary
- Chasteberry has the most PMS-specific research of these ingredients, though study quality varies.[1]
- Vitamin B6 has mixed results for PMS.[2]
- Ashwagandha may help with everyday stress, but it hasn't been studied for PMS specifically.[3]
OUR OPTION
The Her Calm Duo pairs Her PMS Gummies (60ct) with Ashwagandha Gummies (60ct), both vegan, for less than buying the two separately.
STAY CONSISTENT
Two gummies only help if you actually take them. Our 7-Day Pill Organizer keeps a week of both sorted so it's harder to skip a day. See the full Vita Globe Merch line →
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this with birth control?
Check with your doctor first. Chasteberry may interact with hormonal birth control and some other medications,[1] and dong quai may interact with blood thinners.[4]
How long until I notice anything?
