The premenstrual experience differs from woman to woman. Some women may develop more physical symptoms, while others may develop more emotional symptoms.*
As a woman, there are a few extra hurdles in finding comfort in your daily life. One of these hurdles is premenstrual discomfort, the discomfort you feel as the time approaches for you to have your period. Premenstrual Syndrome (commonly referred to as PMS) is a combination of physical and emotional symptoms many women experience after ovulation through to before their period. Experts theorize that this is due to the falling estrogen and testosterone levels in the body dramatically falling during this point in a woman's cycle if she is not pregnant.
The premenstrual experience differs from woman to woman. Some women may develop more physical symptoms, such as bloating or gassiness, while others may develop more emotional symptoms, such as sadness. Often, it is a combination of both.1
Estrogen is a sex hormone, found in both men and women, that is also necessary for maintaining a woman's sexual and reproductive health. The levels of estrogen in the body, particularly in women, fluctuate, and especially throughout her menstrual cycle. In older women, estrogen levels decrease significantly. The development of secondary sexual characteristics in women (breasts, widened hips, etc) are due to fluctuations in estrogen levels. Further, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause are all possible due to this hormone.
Your ovaries make most of a woman's estrogen during her reproductive years. Once it is released, estrogen travels through the body via the bloodstream to whichever part of the body needs to be put to action. There estrogen binds to a protein called an estrogen receptor and the body gets the intended process going. There are estrogen receptors all over the body!2 3
Estrogen levels rise and fall throughout a woman's life and throughout her monthly menstrual cycle, for example, rising in puberty and declining as she approaches menopause. Estrogen levels also rise during ovulation to prepare a woman's body for pregnancy, and dips during her period when there is no resulting pregnancy. Regularly high or low levels may signal an underlying condition requiring your provider's attention.2
There are a few healthy habits that can encourage healthy and balanced estrogen levels.2

Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) extract (4:1)
Chasteberry
Chasteberry is used widely to treat infertility and for relief of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. Laboratory analysis has shown that chasteberry contains hormonal precursors that can prompt hormone changes within the body by activating those receptors. Various studies have found chasteberry to be effective in reducing breast pain and other PMS symptoms, but not for symptoms of menopause. Because chasteberry has phytoestrogenic properties, patients with hormone-sensitive cancers should consult their physicians before using it. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/chasteberry |

A safe and accurate address for delivery must be provided at the time the order is placed. Once an order has shipped, SupplementRelief.com is NOT responsible for lost or stolen packages CONFIRMED BY THE CARRIER to be delivered to the address provided for the order.
Since COVID-19, and the ensuing economic challenges in the USA economy, we respectfully ask that you allow some additional time for delivery for the carriers (USPS, UPS, and FedEx). Most orders still arrive on time, or near on time, but some may run late. We make every effort to get your order packed and into the carriers hands the same day, or by the next business morning if your order came in later in the previous day after carrier pickup, but we have no control over any delays that may happen within the shipping carrier's delivery system. Please order earlier for the time being if you are time-sensitive.
Orders that contain only FirstFitness Nutrition products have a shipping fee automatically calculated based upon the actual shipping weight of the items purchased. The charge ranges from $4.95 to $14.95.
For orders with NuMedica products you may choose from the shipping options below on the Order Checkout form in the Shipping Information section on the first line that says Choose Shipping Method.
Country | Option | Schedule | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
United States | Standard | 3-6 Days | $4.95 |
United States | Priority | 2-4 Days | $9.95 |
United States | Free | 7-10 Days | $0.00 |
International | FedEx International | 4-7 Days | $79.95* |
International | GlobalPost International | 12-21 Days | $39.95* |
*International shipping costs may be higher depending upon package weight and destination. We will contact you for your approval of the additional amount if this occurs. |
SupplementRelief.com may use the email or phone number provided on your Order to call or text you regarding Order Status or to inform you of changes to the Order Policy.
When your order ships we will send you a confirmation email with the delivery tracking information.
Shipping anything these days internationally is expensive. COVID resulted in more rigorous customs import processes, and now with much higher energy prices, international shipping rates are higher.
FedEx is the most reliable and faster carrier, at least for now, but they are expensive. Our FedEx international shipping fee is a minimum of $79.95. It usually makes more sense to get several months of supply (3 months or more) in one order to minimize the shipping expense per order over time. While the added weight of additional items may increase the base shipping price by a little (usually 10-25% depending upon total weight and destination), it is usually not by very much relative to shipping an additional small order later.
We also offer a lower-cost international shipping option using GlobalPost International for $39.95. So far, they have been reliable in getting packages correctly delivered but it takes 2 - 4 times as long to get the package delivered. Packages may take longer to process in the receiving country's customs process and status updates may not be reported as quickly. Please be patient if you choose this option to save money.
Some International orders may cost more to ship depending upon weight and location. If that happens we will contact you first and get your approval for any additional charge before proceeding. International orders may also be subject to additional customs fees and duties/taxes based upon the destination country's customs import laws and policies. These fees are NOT known or included on our order form and are typically charged and collected by the shipping carrier when they are delivering the product to it's final destination once the package has cleared the destination country's customs process. It is recommended that the buyer research custom import fees for the products/services they are importing beforehand to be aware of potential, additional fees.
Our manufacturers formulate their probiotics to ensure their products retain viability until they reach the consumer. Probiotics that are recommended to be refrigerated remain so until the time of shipment, then shipped alongside an ice pack to ensure potency (Note: Ice pack will not arrive frozen, and product may not arrive cold). Orders placed on a Thursday-Sunday requiring cold shipping will not ship until the following Monday.
If your order has not been shipped yet, you can request a cancellation. Your original purchase amount will be refunded within three business days. If your order has already shipped, see Returns and Refunds.
If you want to make a change to your order, please email us as soon as possible so we can make the change before your order ships. If your order has already shipped you may incur additional shipping charges for the second shipment and the return label for any products returned.
If we have made a mistake on your order, or the product arrives in a damaged or unusable condition, we will make every reasonable effort to right the situation quickly to your satisfaction.
We accept returns subject to when the return is requested and the condition the product is returned in. All returns must first be authorized by contacting us. In your request, please let us know why you are returning the item(s). We will respond promptly with authorization, the return address, and a return shipping label if appropriate.
If your order has already shipped you can return any un-opened products within 30 days of receiving your order for a 100% refund of the price paid for the product, less the actual shipping charges we incurred to get the product to you originally and then returned, less a $10 restocking fee. Un-opened means the protective seal on the bottle or container, or the shrink-wrap on the box or kit, has not been broken and the product has not otherwise been damaged in any way. You may use the original packaging for the return or acquire your own. We will provide the return shipping label. We DO NOT accept returns for NuMedica products once the protective product seal has been broken.
