PMS Hero®

12 active ingredients including Agnus Castus, Shatavari and Ashwagandha KSM-66® formulated to support your whole cycle.

  • Hormone regulation across your cycle
  • Reduced tiredness and fatigue
  • Mood and psychological function support
  • For tenderness and bloating
  • With Agnus Castus & Ashwagandha

What sets DRV+ apart

Most PMS products are taken reactively when tell-tale signs emerge. PMS Hero® is formulated to be taken every day through the cycle to provide proactive support.

PMS is multiple systems being challenged at once: mood, energy, bloating, immunity. Many formulas address one or two. Our nutritionists formulated PMS Hero® with 12 active ingredients at doses that make a difference across all of them. Comprehensive support. Zero additives.

"PMS Hero® is proof that your cycle doesn't have to control you. I truly cannot recommend it enough and I'm so thankful to DRV+ for genuinely prioritising women's wellness." Louise Jane, CEO, Vegan Choice Awards

KEY FEATURES

  • 14mg Agnus castus (chaste berry), helping maintain physiological wellbeing.
  • 300mg Shatavari root extract , the ‘Queen of Herbs’ in Ayurveda, and 300mg dong quai root extract, known in Chinese herbal tradition as female ginseng, both long used for women's health.
  • 150mg Ashwagandha KSM-66® from the root where withanolides are highest.
  • 200 GDU bromelain, protein-digesting enzymes from pineapple stem.
  • Folate as calcium-L-methylfolate (active form), with B6 for hormone regulation, magnesium and chromium.
  • Vitamins B3, B5 and B6 for skin, mental performance and psychological function.

THE EVIDENCE

  • 91% of users find PMS Hero® effective, based on our study of 33 women taking it.
  • 52% rate PMS Hero® extremely or very effective.
  • Mood is where users report the biggest difference - magnesium, folate, niacin and vitamin B6 all contribute to psychological function.
  • Agnus castus is among the most extensively studied botanicals for premenstrual support, with a research record going back decades.

THE BACKDROP

In our study of 265 women, the average respondent experienced 8 PMS signs. Mood swings were both most common and most disruptive.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Take continuously, not reactively. Agnus castus, like most botanicals, is studied across successive cycles. Most women say they notice the difference during their second cycle, which is why taking PMS Hero® for 60 days or more is important.

IMPORTANT

Your client should speak to their doctor if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision.

Still have questions?
We’ve got answers.

Should my client take PMS Hero® every day?

We recommend taking two capsules each day through their cycle to enjoy the full benefits of PMS Hero® in regulating hormones naturally.

Your client can take PMS Hero® a few days before the onset of PMS, and for some people this is effective, however, if this doesn’t address their PMS signs, we recommend taking PMS Hero each day. If they find that they only need to take one capsule a day that’s absolutely fine.

Your client may begin to feel a difference within a week or two, depending on when they begin taking PMS Hero® in their cycle. Many women taking PMS Hero® enjoy the full benefits during their second cycle when taking two capsules each day. Everyone is different and it’s a case of monitoring what works best for them.

Can my client take PMS Hero® and Stay Calm® together?

Yes, PMS Hero® and Stay Calm® are a very popular combination.

Our supplements, with a few exceptions, are designed so they can be taken alongside each other when necessary. Stay Calm® and PMS Hero® are commonly used together because they're so effective individually and as a combination. Your client can vary the times that they take their capsules according to what is most convenient for them. They can also take them together or separately through the day.

Can teenage girls take the PMS Hero® supplement?

Our supplements are formulated for adults and older teenagers so. If the teenager is not taking prescribed medication or under any medical supervision, and as long as she doesn’t have existing medical conditions and she is of average size and weight for her age, then it is safe to take PMS Hero®, either at one capsule a day or two capsules a day.

It is common for teenagers taking PMS Hero® to start by taking just one capsule a day instead of the recommended daily dose of two capsules, and if this is sufficient to help with PMS signs that is fine. If there is no improvement after a few weeks or first month, then she can increase to the recommended dose of two capsules each day.

Diet and what she eats is also vitally important during this time, and this article on 'Nutrition for PMS' provides excellent advice on the best foods to reach for and those to avoid.

Can my client take PMS Hero® if they have PCOS?

PMS Hero® is safe to take if your client has PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). PCOS can often be related to issues with blood sugar. If your client has issues with managing blood sugar, we recommend GlucoBalance®, our advanced natural formula for managing blood sugar and blood glucose, which is commonly taken alongside PMS Hero®.

How do PMS supplements work?

PMS supplements like PMS Hero® combine botanicals, vitamins and minerals to provide support through the monthly cycle by helping to balance hormones for a better mood, body and mind.

What supplements help with PMS mood?

There are several nutrients that have been proven to help with hormonal regulation and therefore PMS symptoms. Vitamin B6 contributes towards hormonal regulation and can help with hormone related symptoms including mood swings, irritability, fatigue, and breast tenderness. Shatavari, Dong quai and Agnus castus (chaste tree) are phytoestrogens and support mood, neurotransmitters, and hormonal balance. These ingredients can be found in PMS Hero®.

Is PMS Hero® VAT Free?

DRV+ (Formerly DR.VEGAN®) has decided to permanently absorb the cost of VAT on PMS Hero®, our premenstrual support supplement. This means the formula is sold on the DRV+ website at its VAT free price of £18.99, with the brand carrying the tax cost rather than passing it to the customer. The decision is intended as a statement that premenstrual support should not be classified as a luxury and it stands until the policy itself changes. Products sold through third-party retailers remain subject to standard VAT pricing.
