Description
SFI Health Premular is a natural medicine designed to provide symptomatic relief for those experiencing premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Manufactured in Switzerland by Max Zeller Söhne AG, this product aims to alleviate common PMS symptoms such as irritability, mood alterations, headaches, bloating, breast tenderness, and menstrual irregularities. Additionally, it supports healthy hormonal balance and helps regulate the menstrual cycle.
Active Ingredient
The primary active ingredient in SFI Health Premular is a specific extract from the Chaste tree fruit, known as Vitex agnus-castus. Each tablet contains 20 mg of the Ze 440 extract, equivalent to 180 mg of the dry fruit. This formulation is clinically proven to relieve PMS symptoms effectively when taken consistently over a three-month period.
Dosage and Administration
- Recommended Dose: 1 tablet daily for adults and adolescents over 12 years.
- Timing: Take at the same time each day, either with or without food.
- Duration: A minimum of three months for optimal results.
Consistency in timing and duration is crucial for achieving the desired efficacy. It is not recommended for children under 12 or the elderly.
Clinical Evidence
Research indicates that SFI Health Premular provides sustained relief from PMS symptoms for up to three cycles after discontinuation. The optimal efficacy is achieved at a daily dose of 20 mg Ze 440, with no additional benefits observed at higher doses. The extract works by modulating hormones and neurotransmitters involved in the menstrual cycle.
