This is going to be a long post but it's well worth your time. Trust me!
I have had issues with my period for as long as I can remember. I remember I would get cramps so severe that I would black out every month! I saw many Chinese herb doctors and ate a crap load of disgusting meds before it got better. In recent years, my cramps were still bad but less severe. On the other hand, my PMS gotten worse. I would get incredibly depressed that I just wanted to cry all day. My appetite sky rockets. The worst part is I would get a fever about a week before my period comes. Yes, a fever every fricking month!
I've seriously tried every med available and finally I found a method that helps 85% of my PMS and cramps! Not 100% but you have no idea how many methods didn't work at all...
I did my research and both of these supplements help with "dysmenorrhea" aka. menstrual cramps. They are supplements and not medication. They contain no hormones and will not have any effect on hormones either. I have taken many recommended herbs that messed up my hormones and broke me out like crazy!
I took a capsule of each supplement each day... Well I admit I skipped quite a few days in between. ;P After about a month, when that time came again, I didn't get that fever! I still had a bit of the flu like symptoms but nothing severe. After two months, my flu like symptoms were practically nonexistent and my depression subsided when that time came.
Sorry to be graphic but I must mention this... It helped my period become healthy bright red. I used to have dark blood clots. In Chinese medical terms, that's bruised blood aka hemorrhage. It's a sign of bad circulation and simply not healthy because it meant the flow was not fluid. Which I think it makes sense because I assume fresh blood should be fluid and red.
As for cramps, my tummy barely hurts now. Say it's a 10 when I used to blackout from it, now it's a 2. My back pain would be a 3.
Lots of people mentioned younger skin with use! I absolutely agree cause I party a lot. I have good genes to begin with but I never get enough sleep so that takes a toll on my skin. My skin doesn't look as ruddy as before and I don't even get that monthly pimple nowadays!
I do take this in the morning or afternoon because I find most antioxidants who helps you feel better, most likely have properties that keeps you awake. I don't know if Pycnogenol has such properties but I take it earlier just in case.

Calcium
I don't consume dairy products normally nowadays except for ice cream and cheese LOL. So I know I could always use more calcium in my diet. This brand was recommended by my aunt who's in the pharmaceutical industry. I like how this can be taken any time of the day.
As usual, I purchase my supplements from iHerb cause it's the cheapest! You can use coupon CEW431 for $10 off your first $40+ order and $5 off for less than $40 orders. Don't forget to choose your freebie!
Both of these supplements have no weird taste nor after taste. Of course results will vary with individuals. I am not saying this is THE cure... but definitely worth a try because both of these supplements are good for you anyway! I just want to share my experience with the ladies who's also suffering from such pain and hopefully this will help YOU! <3
