Ease is a liquid herbal formulation used for the relief of the unpleasant symptoms often associated with women’s menstrual and menopausal disorders. Ease contains the herbs Chaste Tree and Wild Yam. These herbs have long been used in treating menstrual irregularities (pains, tension and cramps) and the unpleasant symptoms of menopause (hot flushes, sweats) – naturally, of course! Pinot Ease contains the following herbal ingredients, which both have a long history of traditional use:Chaste Tree – traditionally used to stabilise your body’s delicate balance of hormones. It works by suppressing excessive amounts of the hormone prolactin – the milk producing hormone released by your pituitary gland. This results in an adjustment of the levels of the two female hormones; estrogen and progesterone. Wild Yam – traditionally used for its antispasmodic properties which ease menstrual cramps and relieves muscle tension and pain. It also acts to relieve nausea. Wild Yam also contains diosgenin, which has anti-fatigue, anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, and estrogenic effects. Dosage: Adults 1ml (one full dropper) in water or juice 3-4 times per day. For faster absorption place directly under the tongue. NOTE: For the relief of symptoms associated with menstrual irregularities please commence dosage two weeks before your next period. For more lasting relief we recommend you continue your dosage with a second bottle. Not recommended for use during pregnancy. Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your health care professional. More Info

Soy isoflavones, vitamins and minerals, omega 3 & 6. Recommended by the Sunday Post, Natural Products, CHAT and Sunday Mcelebs magazines. vitalWOMAN is a synergistic formula combining Soy isoflavones, AFA (Klamath blue-green algae), Cimicifuga racemosa and Angelica sinensis, for rapid relief from hot flushes, mood swings and night sweats. Ingredients: - Soy isoflavones are a type of phyto-estrin. It has been show that isoflavones, both from an epidemiological viewpoint (Eastern women have less problems associated with menopause and the typical tumours of the female sex organs) and a clinical standpoint, have a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-tumor effect and a significant ability to equilibrate female oestrogenic activity. - Klamath blue-green algae (AFA) contains the full range of nutrients required to keep the human body in perfect synergy. Its rich supply of minerals, oligoelements and fatty acids is especially important for the production and regulation of hormones. AFA also contains high quantities of precursor molecules for neurotransmitters and contains significant quantities of phenylethylamine (PEA), the amino acid we produce when we experience happiness, love and joy. PEA has specific neuroregenerating properties and is responsible for increasing brain attention, mental acuity and improving mood. - Cimicifuga racemosa extract has had a long history of success with regard to menstrual and menopausal problems, even in modern times, however, its mode of action is not yet clear. Whatever its mechanism, several studies have confirmed what thousands of years of practical experience have already taught us: Cimicifuga positively acts against menopausal problems, from hot flashes and mood swings to cold sweats and sleep disturbances. - Angelica sinensis is considered in Chinese medicine to be the key plant for regulating the female hormonal system containing an abundance of beneficial substances. Directions for use: Take 1 or 2 Simply Vital vitalWOMAN capsules mid-morning and mid-evening. Not to be taken during pregnancy (especially in the first 3 months) or while breastfeeding. Free from: artificial colours, flavours, gluten, GM crops, lactose, preservatives, salt, starch, sugar and yeast. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. More Info
