Women's Formula Pro, 60 tablets

Detailed information on Frauenformel Pro

Every day, the female body undergoes changes. It is influenced by the interplay of various female hormones and goes through a continuous cycle. Women’s Formula Pro is a carefully considered blend of ingredients designed specifically to support women’s health and wellbeing. It utilises herbs of the highest possible quality and purity, whose use is supported by the strongest possible scientific evidence. An exceptional product that can help women of childbearing age to maintain mental and physical balance at every stage of their monthly cycle.

Maca

Maca is a tuber that grows naturally in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes. Peruvians have traditionally used maca for its beneficial effects on physical and mental health. Maca is classified as an ‘adaptogen’. Adaptogens are herbs that help the body cope with various physical and psychological challenges, thereby helping to maintain balance. What many people do not realise is that there are several types of maca, each with a different phytochemical composition and varying levels of efficacy. The different types of maca are distinguished by the colour of the root, which can be yellow, red or black, amongst others. Black maca is regarded as the typical ‘men’s maca’ due to the specific proportions of its characteristic constituents (such as glucosinolates and lignans). Yellow maca (containing different glucosinolates), on the other hand, is generally regarded as ‘women’s maca’. MacaHarmony® is a maca concentrate comprising an effective combination of maca varieties and has been specially developed to support physical and mental balance in women. Natural Health International produces MacaHarmony® using a unique process. The pesticide-free maca is gently processed to preserve its naturally occurring phytonutrients. A further manufacturing process ensures that MacaHarmony® is absorbed as effectively as possible when taken as a dietary supplement.

Monk’s pepper

The herb monk’s pepper (Vitex agnus-castus) is regarded as one of the most important herbs for women. Women’s Formula Pro contains a standardised monk’s pepper berry extract, which contains the two characteristic compounds aucubin and agnusin. During their monthly cycle, women are occasionally irritable or experience mood swings. For legal reasons, we are not permitted to state whether monk’s pepper may have an effect in this regard, but you are welcome to find out very easily by searching on Google or another search engine of your choice.

Ashwagandha

Like maca, ashwagandha is a herb with potent adaptogenic properties. For details on how it works, please refer to the note above regarding your own research. Frauenformel Pro contains a high dose of the well-known ashwagandha extract KSM-66® from the manufacturer Ixoreal. The development of this specialised extract was based on fourteen years of research. A specially developed extraction process (without toxic or environmentally harmful solvents) is used for KSM-66®. This yields a broad-spectrum extract in which the natural properties of the original plant are preserved. Incidentally, Ixoreal has made a conscious decision to use only unsprayed ashwagandha plants. In other words: KSM-66® not only offers the highest quality, but is also the most thoroughly researched Ashwagandha extract in the world (Bakhtiar Choudhary, Shetty A. and Deepak G. Langade 2015).

Saffron

Saffron, one of the world’s most valuable spices, is obtained from the stigmas and styles of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus). Saffron is best known for imparting a rich flavour and a beautiful colour to dishes. Saffron has also proven its great value in the form of dietary supplements. Studies show that taking saffron extract helps to maintain a positive mood. The Affron® saffron extract contained in Frauenformel Pro is produced from pesticide-free saffron grown under strict controls in Spain. This is the only way to obtain a pure extract of the highest quality with the maximum content of active ingredients. Affron® has a high content of Lepticrosalides®, a term used by the manufacturer to describe the spectrum of active compounds in its saffron extract, which includes safranal, crocin and picrocrocin. The efficacy of Affron® has been demonstrated in human studies (Lopresti et al., 2018).
