P.M.T. Support Formula™
Balanced support for women experiencing premenstrual tension
DESCRIPTION
P.M.T. Support Formula™ provided by Douglas Laboratories is a synergistic and comprehensive combination of vitamins, minerals, herbals, and other nutrients carefully formulated and specifically designed to support a woman experiencing premenstrual tension.
FUNCTIONS
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management of the body’s structure as well as the optimum functioning of its various systems, including the hormonal and neuromuscular systems. P.M.T. Support Formula™ has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or other side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and the maintenance of healthy blood cells, the nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms.
P.M.T. Support Formula™ contains not only the base formula of Douglas Laboratories' Ultra-Specific Nutrition 2000 Series™ that offers intensive support for the healthy functioning of the body in general, but also a blend of herbs and additional nutrients specifically formulated to offer additional support of the body’s response to the stresses imposed by menstruation.
Premenstrual tension (PMT), also called premenstrual syndrome, is a condition that affects many menstruating women one to two weeks before they begin menstruation. Symptoms may include abdominal bloating, cramping, breast tenderness and swelling, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, headache, and more.
Research suggests that nutrition may play a major role in the development of PMT, as symptom free women appear to have a higher nutritional status than sufferers. P.M.T. Support Formula™ corrects the suggested nutritional imbalances of sufferers as well as improves their overall nutritional status.
The herbs in P.M.T. Support Formula™ may also improve sufferers' symptomology. Uva -Ursi, juniper berries, and Buchu can help reduce bloating, while black haw (Viburnum pruifolium) can act as a uterine relaxant and reduce menstrual cramping.

P.M.T. Support Formula™ tablets may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to reduce their discomfort through premenstruation..
