Kiki Health PMS Support is a complex of plants and micronutrients formulated to support women in the days before their period (premenstrual syndrome). It targets the most common symptoms: irritability, bloating, pelvic pain, fatigue, sugar cravings, and sleep disturbances. It is a natural alternative to painkillers and hormonal treatments for women who wish to support their hormonal balance and reduce menstrual discomfort.
The formula contains Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus), the most studied plant for PMS, which regulates the pituitary-ovarian axis and reduces oestrogen dominance. A meta-analysis published in the BMJ showed that Vitex significantly reduces PMS symptoms vs placebo. Evening primrose oil (GLA), magnesium, and vitamin B6 complete the formula for irritability, cramps, and water retention.
Clinical studies have established a link between magnesium deficiency and the severity of PMS symptoms, particularly cramps, headaches, and irritability. A randomised trial (Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1991) showed that magnesium supplementation significantly reduced premenstrual water retention. Vitamin B6 combined with magnesium optimises its absorption and supports serotonin production, which acts on mood swings.
No, unlike hormonal contraceptives. Chaste Tree Berry gently regulates the hormonal axis without blocking ovulation or artificially modifying the cycle. It may slightly regularise irregular cycles over the long term, but its main action remains reducing premenstrual symptoms. The cycle remains natural.
Two approaches exist. Some protocols recommend continuous intake throughout the cycle to regulate the hormonal axis in depth, particularly for severe cases. Other protocols target only the luteal phase (14 days before the period, i.e. D14 to D28), when PMS symptoms appear. Continuous intake is generally preferred for Chaste Tree Berry, whose efficacy accumulates over 2 to 3 cycles.
Studies on Chaste Tree Berry show significant results after 3 complete menstrual cycles (approximately 3 months of continuous intake). The first effects on mood and irritability are often perceived from the 1st or 2nd cycle. Consistency is essential: the benefits accumulate over time and are not immediate like a painkiller.
Chaste Tree Berry is not recommended for women on hormonal contraception (risk of interaction with progestins), dopaminergic treatments, pregnant women, or women wishing to conceive immediately. It is contraindicated in cases of hormone-sensitive cancer history without medical supervision. Adolescent girls should consult a doctor before use.
Yes, if the formula does not cover 100% of the recommended magnesium intake for PMS (300 mg/day of elemental magnesium). Check the magnesium content on the label and supplement if necessary. The combination with vitamin B6 is synergistic. However, avoid doubling the Chaste Tree Berry by taking another PMS complex in parallel.
