HUM Hormone Balance Supplement Chasteberry & Dong Quai, Women, 60 Count

I think it really works . I usually get really pissy about 2 weeks from my cycle and I think this really helped balance me out . It helped me avoid being given SSRIs and other harsher meds. It says could cause cancer when I read up on dong quai but I don't take it often at all only when I feel it's gonna be bad like really irritable , or tired . No taste , take with juice or water. Doesn't hurt my stomach I always eat somthng first at least a banana. I should probably get a new bottle because I realize I had this one a very long time .

As I slowly move into my 40’s, supporting my hormones and menstrual cycles has become even more important. I’ve taken the daily dosage during my last periods and I truly felt the difference: 1. during my worst cramps I didn’t need painkillers! They were milder and much more manageable. 2. I’m more regulated. During Day and 2, I usually feel down, have trouble concentrating, and all my insecurities go haywire. But I was able to concentrate with more ease and the blues are not so blue! 3. My mood is more regulated as well. My husband noticed the difference :) All in all, very happy with living through a better menstrual experience than I was before. Thank you Hum!

(Please note the product has nothing to do with preventing pregnancy and if you take any other substances that affect hormones you should consult a doctor before use.) This helped my cystic acne definitely, it was getting out of hand, within a few weeks I stopped getting them except for 1 or 2 mild ones close to my period as used to be normal for me. It helped decrease the length of time my breasts were sore, and I swear it made them look bigger on average which is awesome. Cramps weren't as strong either, and it's hard to say if the pills were the cause but it may have helped stabilize my mood. My only issue was how it delayed my period. I could tell it was supposed to be starting for 4 days, I had mild cramps, brown discharge, but the blood wouldn't flow. I do not worry about pregnancy because I have a copper IUD but I wanted to get my period over with. Period itself hurt pretty bad first day but stopped and then normalized. All in all it relieved my PMS but did not improve the period itself.

I bought it in August 2022. I been taking them each month for the last 4 months along with other supplements to support mood swings for PMS and PMDD. The first 2 months I only took these due to moods. I typically take 10 to 12 days before my menstrual cycle. I noticed a improvement in my moods, tolerance and patience. The second month I was still agitated and the 3rd month taking them 10 days around cycle it was easier. I would say they are worth it especially to avoid medication. I am a believer in minimal side effects if any with supplements rather than medication. My recommendation is try for 60 to 120 days to get good solid comparable results.

Dear Menstruating Ladies, this stuff is a GAME CHANGER for your entire cycle, not just PMS. What you do and take during your first two phases of your cycle (follicular and ovulatory), greatly impacts the PMS & menstrual phases. I take one a day through the first two phases and then up it to 2 per day during my Luteal (PMS) and period part of my cycle. I’m someone in my 20s who suffers from estrogen dominance. The symptoms of that for me include acne, weight gain (especially around the middle), anxiety, anovulation, mood swings, migraines, constipation and nausea. Ladies, these problems DISAPPEARED upon adding this beautiful Moody Bird combo of chaste berry (vitex) & dong quai. For those who don’t know, vitex & dong quai naturally promotes progesterone levels. You NEED, let me repeat, NEED progesterone production to be at its best to control your estrogen levels throughout your entire cycle. Estrogen and progesterone work hand in hand. If one is down, the other gets out of hand and causes symptoms. Any way, my husband was so concerned the day before my period started because I wasn’t having mood swings or horrible migraines! lol I Even started my period with NO PAIN. That NEVER happens to me. So, I urge you to buy this if you have PMS or your cycle in general needs a little natural support. :) It WORKS.

Ok, so this supplement literally worked miracles when it comes to my hormonal irritations. I was a nervous wreck and a horrible person to be around during my period before taking this. I would've kept taking it forever if I didn't have side effects. After a few months I started to notice that the negatives outweigh the positives. And that's saying a lot. I cut the recommended dosage in half, but still didn't feel that the effects went away. When I'm on the supplement I noticed that I tend to have a lot of cravings and sometimes find myself in a very gray state of mind. It's almost like instead of making me happier, I just didn't feel anything at all. Unfortunately, when I'm off of it, the depression and mood swings run rampant. I did stop taking it and within two weeks I lost 18 pounds that I gained while taking it for five months. I really really wish that this worked for me without the negative effects, because I'm not entirely sure what to do about my period moods and crazy hormones anymore :( Be warned that when you stop taking the supplement you might fight some of the worst depressive moods you have ever experienced. Currently going through it, but I really can't continue to take this and know that it causes me to gain weight and mutes my emotions. Please be careful with what you put in your body! I'm sure this may be worth it for some.

My cycles have been shortening throughout my 30s. They are just about 22-24 days, meaning I only have 2 weeks in between periods (which is awful). I just turned 38 and am definitely perimenopausal…which can last years Ans years, but I cannot take hormonal birth control. I have the copper iud ( and a side effect of that is heavier period flow). SO as a shot in the dark, I got this bottle of magical herbs to help me be less moody the days before my period as I’ve noticed I’m a bit more short fused (especially toward my partner - tho I’m sure he deserves it some of the time ;)). What I didn’t expect from this product was it to actually help with the period part, too. I’ve taken 2 bottles, so two months worth, I only take one capsule per day, not the directed two, and started noticing differences within the first two weeks. I have a lighter flow - only one heavy day instead of 3, I’m less crampy, less bloated, less irritable, and the best news - my cycle has grown longer. I’m now around 26-27 days, and hope with time it will continue to lengthen. I’ve been regular and on schedule with my cycles/consistent since I can remember, so the only difference I can attribute this to, is me adding this supplement two months ago. Both periods I’ve had since have come later than normal, approx four days later according to my tracking. Being a science teacher and was highly skeptical, and also I am hesitant with what I put into my body. But I have seen helpful results and hopefully you will, too. There’s been no side effects for me. Just positives. Hope this helps! I don’t tend to write reviews, so I felt this was important. Thanks, HUM!

I took these supplements about a week or two before my period in hopes that it would help balance my irritability and mood swings I have right before my period. The first night of my next period, I woke up in the middle of the night with THE. WORST. CRAMPS. I have ever experienced in my life. I've never been pregnant before, but I believe what I felt was close to what labor contractions would feel like. This was especially strange because I almost never get cramps with mhy period. This lasted about 2 hours and no amount of Ibuprofen could bring relief. I was about to head to the E.R., when finally the cramps subsided. I don't think this is a fault of this brand, but perhaps a reaction my body specifically had to these herbs. I immediately stopped taking them and I've never had another episode like that. I would just be wary about your body's reaction to these herbs. It sounds like they are very helpful for many people, but can potentially have an adverse reaction to some.

I got severe cramps in my leg after consuming it.

I’ve heard this pill works wonders for some people. For me it unfortunately triggered a lot of acne and also lead me into a similar state of anxiety and depression that I experience when on birth control.
