How does Zenstral PMS™ work?
How does Zenstral PMS™ work?
The natural compounds in Zenstral work on many of the biochemical mechanisms that contribute to PMS:†
Vitex Agnus Castus Extract (VAC): VAC acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a set of complex interactions between three hormone-producing organs. It also reduces stress-induced prolactin levels by simulating the effects of dopamine in the brain (dopamine agonist). In addition, VAC has been found to elevate beta-endorphin and opiod levels, naturally occurring substances that decrease pain and create a feeling of calm and well-being.
Magnesium: Low levels of red-cell magnesium have been correlated with symptoms of PMS. This is the rationale for supplementation with magnesium and has resulted in a number of studies on magnesium supplementation in women suffering from PMS.
Vitamin B6: Also called pyroxidine, vitamin B6 has a positive effect on levels of neurotransmitters such as serontonin, norepinephrine, histamine, dopamine, and taurine.
