How Menstium Works
Several herbs found in Menstium have been used traditionally in Chinese medicine to relieve premenstrual maladies, such as chasteberry. The suppleent also contains the mineral magnesium, which has been scientifically found to reduce symptoms of bloating, breast tenderness, and weight gain during PMS. The ingredient list is rounded off with vitamins like B6, which is also studied to help allay symptoms of PMS.
