And, vitamin B6 and a blend of muscle supporting magnesium for additional tension relieving benefits, and to act as a sleep aid during times of stress.
Ginger
Ginger is traditionally associated with anti-nausea properties, but it has also been studied extensively for dysmenorrhea as well as effectively reducing menstrual pain when taken for the first 3-4 days of the menstrual cycle. Additionally, research suggests that ginger may decrease exercise-induced muscle soreness, improve post-exercise recovery, reduce migraine severity and duration, and reduce joint pain.
Cassia cinnamon
Cassia cinnamon is another herb that has been studied for its ability to improve dysmenorrhea symptoms. Multiple studies have shown that cassia cinnamon is capable of reducing the severity of menstrual pain, associated nausea and vomiting, while also reducing the amount of menstrual bleeding. Both ginger, and cinnamon have been studied head-to-head against NSAID medications and have proven effective with an impressive safety profile.
