Optimox Optivite PMT Supplement - PMS Support for Women, Hormonal Balance, Womens Multivitamins, PMS Relief, Magnesium Supplement - 180 Count

I was very hesitant to take these vitamins, especially so many at a time, but gave it a shot out of desperation. My hormones were completely out of whack, my cycle was a super short 27 or 28 days, and I'd recently (within the previous 2 years ) suffered from 3 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy. I already had children and knew that my body was off balance in the hormonal department. I'd read Marilyn Shannon's excellent book about fertility and cycles and saw that she recommended this vitamin for many conditions, including several of which I was showing symptoms of. So I ordered it with the hopes that dietary improvements on my part and the boost in key vitamins and minerals from these vitamins would help me out. Not to mention I was running scared from several OB's advice to take this hormone cream and that supplement, all of which were pretty heavy duty and had some worrisome side effects....I'm not a medicine taker. I avoid them if at all possible. Taking 5 of these babies at a time bothered me, so I worked my way up to 5 a day over the course of 2 months.I didn't notice any changes in my emotions or mental state, to be honest. They could have been there and I just wasn't aware. But I did notice that in 3 months time my cycle extended to 31 days and stayed there for the next 3 months. Very exciting! My mucous became more normal ( according to NFP guidelines ) and best of all, I became pregnant on the 4th month after starting these vitamins.I'm not claiming that they're miraculous or a cure-all. But I feel that they played a major role in getting my hormones back in balance, enough so that my body could sustain a healthy pregnancy and bless our family with a beautiful son. Please note that I also overhauled my diet, as outlined in Marilyn Shannon's book as well, and avoided certain foods that caused an increase in estrogen production ( part of my issue was estrogen dominance ).I recommend these vitamins to any woman struggling with hormonal issues. It might not fix all of your problems, but then again, it can't hurt to try. I've found that hormonal issues tend to compound, one upon another. Fix one of them, and several more are fixed exponentially. It's all about that balance.As far as the percentage of each ingredient, they appear to be extremely high and clearly exceed the recommended dosage in some cases. But Marilyn Shannon explains why it works in her book, which helped me overcome my hesitancy in taking these. I'm so thankful I did!

I’ve been using these vitamins for well over two years now, practically and they work absolutely well. You can take them before and during your period and you will have so much relief with not having any pain. Take three vitamins every four hours, and you will no longer have to deal with cramps.

Short story:My psychiatrist recommended this supplement 1 month ago for my depression and panic attacks. I have been taking 2 tablets each morning and evening (4 daily) for 4 weeks now ( I also still take my prescription meds). My depression and anxiety symptoms are still there, but I haven’t had even 1 full blown panic attack in 3 weeks! I was having them almost daily. It took about 3-5 days . My depression/ mood has improved a little.My doc said I can try increasing dose to 6 a day. I will update any changes/ improvements in a few weeks.*I started taking fish oil supplements at the same time.Why I am taking this supplement:I asked him to recommend a supplement that had the B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium and magnesium after I researched natural remedies for depression, panic disorder and adhd. There are thousands of supplements that claim to help, but many have ingredients that are not proven to be safe ...OR WORSE : some supplements directly effect the brains neurotransmitters and can not be taken with most prescribed antidepressants.All the research seem to agree that these vitamins were proven to help my symptoms. My psychiatrist agreed and suggested this supplement because so that I wouldn’t have to take several different supplements. Although this supplement is marketed for relieving premenstrual mood / irritability, my doctor chose it because it includes the vitamins that I need and other ingredients that would NOT interfere with my prescribed medications.Dosage 4 daily (2 in morning and 2 in evening).

I am 28 years old and I noticed slowly over the years, my PMS symptoms started to get worse and worse. It peaked over the last few months when I realized that 2 weeks out of every month, I was not myself. I was a complete emotional mess, and felt out of control. I like to watch my weight too, which was becoming near impossible when 2 weeks out of every month, I wanted to eat every carb and every sugary thing in sight. I decided enough was enough and decided to do some research and see if there was anything I could do, and I stumbled across Optivite. I was extremely skeptical at first (even though I read all the reviews) but figured at such a good price, it was worth a try. I am so beyond glad that I decided to try these pills.1) No more emotional rollercoasters2) No extreme water retention3) NO food cravings4) No feeling absolutely insane for no reason5) No headaches (I would always get headaches before my period would start)6) No fatigue (again, I would be really fatigued the days before my period, but felt these gave me extra energy!)I am going to continue to buy these for as long as they are available. I felt the dosage of 6 pills per day sounded too high, so I take 4 per day and it works beautifully for me. I would even go as far to say they have changed my life.
