MonoSelect® Agnus or: how women can prevent PMS from controlling their lives
Chasteberry extract has been studied for its activity against mild to moderate symptoms of Premenstrual syndrome.
MonoSelects® Agnus is exquisitely formulated to fully exploit the potential of Chasteberry extract against PMS. It contains a high-quality extract and comes in fast-release tablets for a rapid absorption.
Premenstrual syndrome and its symptoms
Epidemiological data show that 75-80% of women in reproductive age suffer from some symptoms of Premenstrual syndrome or PMS. But what, exactly, is PMS?
PMS refers to a collection of physical and emotional symptoms that many women may experience in the days before their period starts. Manifestations may include irritability, aggression, tension, anxiety, and depression, and somatic changes such as fluid retention, breast tenderness, headache, feeling of bloating, and weight increase.
The causes of the PMS have not been clearly elucidated; however, two crucial symptoms are thought to be related to hormone levels:
- breast tenderness and pain, also called mastalgia, which has been attributed to increased prolactin levels.
- menstrual disorders such as irregular or skipped periods are in turn traced to a progesterone deficiency.
The good news is women don’t have to tolerate these symptoms since they can counteract them by taking a natural yet effective and side-effect free supplement containing a selected extract from Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus), also known as monk’s pepper.
Over the past 50 years, chasteberry has been widely used in Europe for gynecological conditions such as PMS, cyclical breast discomfort, menstrual cycle irregularities, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. But chasteberry extracts are not all the same as well as products containing chasteberry extracts are not all the same.
