PMS Supplements

Enhance Everyday Wellbeing with PMS Supplements

Curated by our skin experts, our PMS supplements collection features a wide range of trusted products that we regularly recommend to support you throughout your cycle.

Premenstrual syndrome, known commonly as PMS, can affect everyone differently. For many women, it means bloating, cramps or breast tenderness, while others may report mood changes, cravings, headaches or unwanted changes to their skin. PMS supplements can help you feel more comfortable and supported throughout the month.

About PMS Supplements

PMS supplements are additions to your routine that can support you in the days or weeks leading up to your period. Common PMS-focused ingredients include magnesium, vitamin B6, calcium, vitamin D, omega-3, zinc, evening primrose oil, agnus castus and DIM. These ingredients are often chosen by those looking to support mood, energy, bloating, skin, cravings or general hormonal wellbeing.

When it comes to PMS, as the symptoms can vary so much, there really is no one-size-fits-all approach as it can be influenced by a wide range of factors, including diet, sleep, stress management and, of course, your hormones. For personalised advice, get in touch with our team of wellness experts who can help guide you towards the perfect supplement for you.

What We Say...

"When PMS symptoms feel different every month, it can be helpful to track your skin, mood, energy and cycle comfort over time. This allows you to choose supplements more thoughtfully, focusing on ingredients that support your personal symptoms rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.”

– Julia, Director

What Do PMS Supplements Do?

Supporting your cycle: PMS supplements are perfect for those looking to support their body in the lead up to their period, especially if you suffer from uncomfortable or unwanted symptoms during this time.

Improved mood: Many women report feeling low, anxious, irritable or emotional before their period. Nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin D and omega-3 have been linked to balancing your mood and helping you feel more supported.

Energy and tiredness: Feeling more tired, okay, exhausted, before your period is a common PMS concern. Wellness blends such as the Sixways Hormone Balance Mushroom Blend include several key vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B6, B5, and B12, to help you feel energised.

PMS & Your Skin Health

At Face the Future, we understand how unpredictable skin can be. One week, your routine feels like it's working perfectly, and the next, feel oily, irritable or breakouts can rear their head.

Hormonal changes have an important role to play in oil production and inflammation, often causing breakouts around the chin, jawline and lower face. PMS supplements can help, supporting your skin from within, alongside a hormonal skincare routine.

To target PMS skin breakouts, focus on supplements that regulate hormones such as zinc, vitamin B6, omega-3 fatty acids and chasteberry.

PMS vs PMDD | What's the Difference

PMS is relatively common, and while it can be annoying or uncomfortable, the symptoms shouldn't feel unmanageable. If the symptoms do feel like they're taking over your life each month, it may be a sign of something more than PMS.

PMDD, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder, is a more severe form of premenstrual symptoms. It can have a more extreme impact on your emotional well-being. Symptoms often include:

Low mood
Big changes to your mood
Feeling of anxiety
Low mood or depression
Irritability
Anger
Difficulty coping

It's important to know what you're dealing with and when to ask for help. While supplements can be a helpful part of a wider routine, if your PMS symptoms feel extreme or are getting worse, it's important to speak to your health care provider for extra guidance.

Advice for Taking PMS Supplements

Finding the right PMS supplements routine starts with understanding your symptoms. A good way to track your symptoms is with an app, or simply take notes to track what you notice. Do you feel more tired, tense or emotionally sensitive before your period? If you do, you may want to look into hormonal blends that contain magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin D or omega-3. If your PMS is more skin-focused, ingredients such as zinc or evening primrose oil may be a better option.

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Supplements
For the best results with any supplements, they should be taken consistently. Often supplements need to build up in your system before you see any big results, so consistency is important. As many ingredients work gradually, it may take a few cycles of tracking your symptoms to see changes in your mood, skin, cravings, energy, or cycle.

Always follow the instructions on your chosen product, and try to avoid doubling up on multiple hormone formulas. For more severe symptoms, or if you take medications, it's always a good idea to speak to your GP. Our team of wellness experts are also on hand to give advice and recommend the best supplements to meet you wherever you are in your wellness journey.
