It is important to reiterate that the entire formula here is 800mg.
Supposedly White Peony root has a balancing effect on hormones however, there's no direct evidence that it will improve PMS symptoms, human trials are limited and those that do exist suggest that an effective dose ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 mg per day for hormone balancing effects .
Known for its adaptogenic properties, Chinese licorice is prized for its ability to support adrenal gland function, so there's actually something here, although there's more evidence to suggest it can help with optimal progesterone production and still not much in the way of human trials. There's some decent evidence that it can help soothe digestive issues, but that's not exactly the main reason people are buying HerTime, and 2,000 to 3,000 mg per day is the studied dose, so once again, we've got nothing useful here.
This herb is renowned for its potential to enhance energy levels, improve mental clarity and focus, and mitigate the effects of stress - all of which can be particularly beneficial for women struggling with fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings during their menstrual cycles. And there is ONE study that suggests it's functional at 300mg if you use a specific extract, however, this extract is quite expensive and based on the price of HerTime it's not viable. Plus, they would likely say that they used the patented ingredient if that was the case as it's a selling point. Meaning that what we have here would need to be dosed at 1400mg as mentioned in the intro.
Dong Quai is a mixed ingredient anyway, whilst some studies suggest it can balance sex hormones, and help with extreme pms symptoms, the problem is it can make them worse. But, as you need 2000mg of them, we've got something else in here that isn't going to do anything at all.
Packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and iron, giant kelp leaf is good for you, if you get 1200mg of it a day.... again we have the same issue. There is also the fact that they clearly haven't standardized any trace mineral in here, meaning there's probably nothing useful here either.
HerTime is also safe for women who are on hormonal birth control. But, seeing as it's not actually very good, we can't recommend it.
HerTime's product lineup is a diverse and well-curated selection, catering to a wide range of needs and preferences. Let's delve into the key offerings and understand how each one can contribute to your overall well-being.
One of the hallmarks of HerTime's range is the HerHydration blend, a powerhouse of electrolytes designed to keep you hydrated and energized. Unlike many sports drinks that are laden with sugar and artificial sweeteners, HerHydration provides the essential minerals your body craves without the unwanted additives. This one is actually fine.
For those days when your vegetable intake feels lacking, HerGreens tries to fill the nutritional gap, it fails miserably though. This blend combines a variety of greens, including spinach, kale, and spirulina, to deliver a concentrated dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Unfortunately it misses all of the best greens ingredients and under doses the ones it has, and Mixhers miss the mark again.
