Nature'S Way - Pms With B6 & Other B-Vitamins 418 Mg. 100 Vegetarian Capsules 53731

Like many others who have tried and loved this vitamin, I'm a long-time sufferer of extreme PMS. Breast tenderness, insomnia, irritability, worsened anxiety, feeling down and melancholy. I've driven people crazy with my hormonal moodiness, and it often began a week before my period.I began taking this vitamin a week and a half before my period was scheduled to come, and I've noticed a tremendous difference in how moody I feel. Before this vitamin, my moods impacted my ability to function at work and in my college classes, but now I feel much clearer mentally and emotionally. I don't panic at the smallest things, and haven't cried over what someone said to me or how "inadequate" and unlovable I am (which never happens when I'm not PMSing).I've been taking this vitamin for 6 months now. My PMS is hardly there or nonexistent. I feel like a different person! However, I would recommend getting the Nature's Way PMS with **5 HTP**, as it makes a HUGE difference! My prescription doesn't allow me to take 5 HTP in higher doses, but the little amount that is in the vitamin (5mg) really, really helps. The last order of Nature's Way PMS that I received did not have 5 HTP, and it doesn't work quite as well. The herbal combination in this vitamin really does the trick.NOTE: Definitely take with food! The first time I took the vitamin, I was driving and only ate a granola bar with it. About 30 minutes later, I began to feel drowsy and almost high. That was the only time that happened to me, though. So power through the first time, and it will get better. I take my vitamin with a high-protein breakfast and it works great for me. There is the potential to feel nauseated if you don't eat a big enough breakfast with these. I hope that doesn't steer you away from taking them, though!

Purchased in: 2012.Bought for: Myself, to water-down the painful PMS symptoms.**2012**I'm in the military, and originally bought this product to take with me on an overseas deployment, to water-down my painful periods. I started taking three capsules a day during my first period, as the bottle suggests. I took each supplement separately, approximately eight hours apart. On my heavy days, I also took one pain reliever with the PMS Capsule. I ate a small snack with every capsule, just to prevent getting an upset stomach.The PMS Capsules worked wonders for me by relieving the pain of my cramps, making my periods pleasant, and without causing any side effects. The supplements made working out bearable, including during my heavy days.I only took the PMS Capsules during my period, so I would not run out of the one-hundred count bottle so quickly. I took Nature's Way: Alive! Ultra Potency Multivitamins on my off days instead, which also helped my heavy days not to be so painful.**2014**I am still taking the PMS Capsules as described above. It is working just as well as it did two years ago, and I am doing everything exactly the same as before.I highly recommend this product for anyone who is experiencing extremely painful periods. The PMS Capsules are all natural and the price is unbeatable. It works wonders for me, and I am 100% sure it will more than likely work for you.***NOTE***THIS ITEM CONTAINS "MAGNESIUM STEARATE" WHICH IS USED TO HELP CREATE AND SEAL THE VEGGIE CAPSULE. IT CAN/MAY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH (I have not had any issue with this product. I just found out about the potential harm this ingredient may be able to do, and I wanted to keep you updated).

I felt better physically and psychologically after taking this. Not sure if it's for real or the placebo effect. It was easy to take and I did not get any weird side effects so it seemed to agree with me. The capsules are not too big and the product seemed fresh. I would give it a try if you have bad PMS.

These pills worked for me but made me have some stomach issues. I stopped taking them but when I did take them, I did notice feeling more calm.

Approximately seven to ten days before your cycle, if you have ever experienced the following delights of:-Tenderness (and not in the "Terms of Endearment/Steel Magnolias" way).-Bloating to the point where people mistake you for Ernest Borgnine.-Mild food cravings, such as Doritos paired with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or eating an entire pizza by yourself.-Mood swings that would rival any of the "Real Housewives" ladies or Miley Cyrus.-Crying to things like Hallmark commercials, songs by 1970's band Bread, weather forecasts, kittens, and the fact that you've eaten an entire pizza by yourself.If these exaggerations apply to you, this is the product to have!With all joking aside, this supplement has helped me greatly in dealing with that dreaded "Week Before". Make sure you take the supplement with food, otherwise it might upset your stomach a little. I generally take one in the morning and one in mid to late afternoon and have found that it greatly reduces the bloating, breast tenderness, and moodiness. I also like the fact that it doesn't make me drowsy, like Premsyn or Midol (they contain mild antihistamine whereas this supplement contains a small amount of tryptophan). I've been pleasantly surprised by this little gem and just can't wait until it's time for me to take Nature's Way "Change O' Life" supplements (tongue in cheek here). Yes, that's really the name of it: Change O' Life. Really, Nature's Way? Whoever works in their marketing department and decided to put a jaunty, carnival-like name to a menopause supplement, clearly is not a woman.Buy this, it helps!But not so much with my love for pizza... :)
