Turmeric shows up in a lot of period-care routines right now. Here's an honest look at what our Her PMS gummies and our turmeric gummies each bring, and what the research does and doesn't say.

Does turmeric help with period cramps?
The honest answer: there isn't strong evidence that turmeric helps with any specific health condition, including cramps.[3] We don't make that claim. The PMS-specific part of this duo is our Her PMS Gummies, built around chasteberry and vitamin B6, the ingredients most studied for PMS symptoms.[1][2]
Caveat: Turmeric is in this duo as a warming daily ritual many people already love, not as a treatment. If you have severe period pain, talk to your doctor.

Why these two are bundled together
Turmeric, ginger and black pepper are a classic warming combination, and a lot of women already reach for golden milk or ginger tea during their period. This duo pairs that ritual, in our peach-flavored Turmeric Gummies with Ginger & Black Pepper, with our cycle-focused Her PMS Gummies.

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 turmeric actually does
Turmeric has been used for centuries in cooking and traditional medicine, and curcumin, its best-known compound, is widely studied. But according to the NIH, there's little reliable evidence that turmeric helps with any specific condition.[3] Our Turmeric Gummies with Ginger & Black Pepper give you 250mg of turmeric extract per serving with ginger root and black pepper.
Turmeric is generally considered safe in food amounts, but supplements can cause stomach upset, and turmeric may interact with some medications.[3] Dong quai, one of the herbs in Her PMS, may also interact with blood thinners,[4] so check with your doctor if you take one.
The honest summary
- Chasteberry has the most PMS-specific research of these ingredients, though study quality varies.[1]
- Turmeric doesn't have strong evidence for cramps or any specific condition.[3]
- If you take blood thinners or have gallbladder issues, check with your doctor before starting this duo.[3][4]
OUR OPTION
The Her Comfort Duo pairs Her PMS Gummies (60ct) with Turmeric Gummies with Ginger & Black Pepper (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 →
