Vitakruid Femme Hormone Support including Maca & SaffronHormone support for women with no less than four herbs
About 85 percent of all women experience discomforts around menstruation, according to scientific research. 8 to 10 percent even indicate that the problems interfere with daily life.
Fortunately, nature has an answer to this. Based on the most recent science, we have developed Femme. In this hormone formula for women, we combine the four most important herbs that influence the most diverse discomforts around your cycle!
Shatavari
Shatavari has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years. Its effect is attributed to the roots. It is a true women's herb often compared to Yin, the symbol for feminine energy.
Shatavari is the number one adaptogen in women's formulas. Adaptogens are often associated with stress processing. For example, research shows that it influences the stress hormone cortisol.
Moreover, we have incorporated a high-quality shatavari extract into our formula. Our extract is in a 10:1 ratio. This means that 250 mg of our extract is equivalent to 2.5 grams of crude product. This also makes this extract ten times more effective than shatavari in powder form!
Maca
Yellow maca originates from Peru, where the plant only grows under specific conditions. Nevertheless, the herb has also been increasingly produced in China in recent years. These are usually unstandardized nutrients, meaning we do not know how many active substances these maca variants contain. As a result, we generally cannot guarantee effectiveness. The yellow Peruvian maca in Femme is from the patented Maca-GO® and is standardized to 0.3% glucosinolates for a guaranteed, optimal effect.
In addition, our yellow Peruvian maca is grown under optimal conditions, ensuring contamination levels well below the legal minimum.
Vitex agnus castus
Vitex agnus castus, also known as chaste tree, is found in the Mediterranean region, Central Asia, and North America.
Saffron (Affron®)
The high-quality saffron extract included in this formula is the patented Affron®. This nutrient developer only goes for 100% genuine saffron of the best quality, from controlled Spanish cultivation. Therefore, their saffron extract is standardized to 3.5% lepticrosalides, the active compounds.
Improved absorption by adding piperine (Bioperine®)
Finally, we have added the patented Bioperine® to the formula. This is an extract consisting of no less than 95-98% piperine, the main component of black pepper. Bioperine® has been clinically tested, proving its high quality.
