Flo PMS Gummies Ingredients

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) - 20 MG

Vitamin B6 consists of 6 different compounds that play a role in more than 140 different coenzyme reactions throughout the human body between them.

It is one of the most essential vitamins when it comes to keeping your hormone levels balanced, so it is vital that women keep their levels up during PMS or the menopause.

Vitamin b6 is also essential to aid neurotransmitter biosynthesis. This will keep the brain cells healthy and functional and help combat various PMS symptoms, such as depression, mood swings, poor sleep quality, low energy levels, a slow metabolism, weight gain, bloating, cramps, and mental decline.

The only issue is, the recommended daily intake of vitamin b6 for most adults is 1.7 mg per day. As each serving of FLO PMS Gummy Vitamins contains 20 mg of vitamin b6, the gummies are simply way too strong and could cause side effects, including skin, brain and muscle issues, heartburn, and nausea (1).

Sodium - 15 MG

Sodium is a mineral that can enhance nerve impulses, muscular contractions, and the water mineral balance in our body. As women can often lose lots of sodium in their urine during their menstrual cycles, the idea behind its use is that it will prevent this from happening and stop you developing a deficiency.

However, there are two issues with the inclusion of sodium in FLO PMS Gummy Vitamins. Firstly, sodium can actually make certain PMS symptoms much worse, such as breast pain, bloating, and water weight gain, so its presence could end up doing you much more harm than good.

Then there is the fact that clinical research suggests you must consume around 500 mg of sodium per day for it to be of any use. You put all of this together, and the 15 mg of sodium in each serving of FLO PMS Gummy Vitamins is far more likely to make your symptoms worse than it is to make them better (2).

Proprietary Herbal Blend - 111 MG

Chasteberry Extract (Vitex Agnus-Castus)

Chaste berry extract comes from the fruit of the chaste tree and it is one of the most commonly used ingredients in PMS supplements. This is mainly due to it's ability to regulate a woman’s hormone levels and be capable of preventing or treating virtually all the symptoms that premenstrual syndrome causes.

This includes reducing PMS symptoms such as bloating, breast pain, cramps, depression, fatigue, food cravings, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, hot flashes, inflammation, insomnia, irritability, mood swings, night sweats, poor immune system and heart health, sleep issues, and even diabetes (3).

The problem here is that chasteberry extract has been lumped into a proprietary blend with two other ingredients. This means there is absolutely no way to know for sure whether or not FLO PMS Gummy Vitamins contains enough of this potent compound in each serving to be of any use at all.

Lemon Balm (Melissa Officinalis)

Lemon balm extract comes from a plant in the mint family that is full of various vitamins and minerals.

It is put in some natural supplements for PMS as some people say it can help alleviate cramps, promote relaxation, prevent or treat anxiety, mood swings and stress, lower your flow and help you avoid excessive bleeding, and offer enhanced protection for the brain and its functions (4).

Unfortunately, none of the claimed benefits of lemon balm extract have never been proven in clinical studies. This means that the presence of lemon balm in FLO PMS Gummy Vitamins is highly unlikely to be of any use when it comes to preventing or treating the symptoms of PMS.

Angelica Root (Dong Quai)

Dong quai root is a herbal extract that is popular in Korean traditional medicine and is thought to be particularly useful for women.

It is said to have cardiovascular and immune boosting properties, promote healthy vaginal ph, regulate hormone levels, combat tumours and diabetes, lower your blood sugar levels, boost bone health, prevent vaginal inflammation, cramps, and mood swings, and help you avoid weight gain and lose fat (5).

The issue is, none of the claimed benefits of dong quai root extract have ever actually been proven in clinical trials. This means its inclusion in a supplement like FLO PMS Gummy Vitamins is unlikely to do anything but take up space in the gummies.
