Dealing with menstrual disorders naturally
Menstrual disorders are widespread. For many women, the monthly menstrual period is associated with discomfort. These affect women's enjoyment of life anew every month. These include irregular menstrual bleeding, a feeling of tension and swelling in the breasts (mastodynia) and monthly recurring complaints before the onset of menstruation (premenstrual complaints) such as back pain, headaches, skin changes, exhaustion, water retention, ravenous appetite and irritability. Taking Agnus Castus AL can have a positive effect on the above-mentioned menstrual disorders.
Proven medicinal plant
Monk's pepper or chaste mud are the effective fruits of the medicinal plant Agnus Castus. The extract from the fruits can intervene in the hormone balance by inhibiting the release of the hormone prolactin. Many women with elevated prolactin levels tend to experience menstrual irregularities and breast pain (mastodynia). By regulating the prolactin levels, Agnus Castus can positively influence menstrual disorders.
The total dose should not be exceeded without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.
How to use?

Duration of use?

How do the ingredients of the medicine work?
