Watkins Female Formula provides nutritional support to address the bloating, tenderness, irritability and other cyclical discomforts. This supplement is based on specific regimen of vitamins, magnesium and traditional protective Phytoestrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs are a group of plant compounds which have a normalizing effect on estrogen levels, which studies show can neutralize some of the higher risk factors associated with estrogen therapy. Extended release formula allows for metered nutrition. Female Formula contains a patented, non-constipating form of iron to combat monthly loss.
Why do I need Female Formula?
Women and female teens have unique physical, emotional and nutritional needs. Hormonal cycles and changes throughout life may cause physical discomfort and emotional changes that may be difficult to adjust to. Watkins Female Formula is created with natural herbs and phytoestrogens to help maintain hormonal balance and to minimize the emotional and physical symptoms of hormonal cycles.
What are phytoestrogens?
"Phyto" means "plant." Phytoestrogens are natural estrogens found in some plants and herbs that can help to balance estrogen levels in the body. When estrogen levels are low, as in menopause, phytoestrogens help to boost estrogenic activity. When estrogen levels are high, as in premenstrual syndrome, phytoestrogens block estrogen activity and may reduce symptoms of PMS. By balancing hormonal levels, phytoestrogens can help to minimize the discomforts associated with hormonal changes.
Why Watkins? Our special blends of vitamins, minerals and herbs work together to provide greater benefits than single vitamins.
Vitamin C increases iron absorption, important because women lose iron during monthly cycles, and it must be replenished to maintain energy. Vitamin C works with hormones to help regulate metabolism, control stress, increase alertness and maintain healthy skin tone. As an antioxidant, it protects against cancer of the breast, cervix and endometrium.
Vitamin E may help to reduce nervous tension, headache, fatigue, depression, insomnia and breast tenderness by normalizing hormone levels in PMS and fibrocystic breast disease.
B-6 may help to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, irritability, mood swings and acne flare-ups.
Folate may help to prevent some types of acne, anemia, fatigue, infertility, osteoporosis, and cervical cancer. Supplementation of 400 mcg during child-bearing years is advised to prevent birth defects.
Iron deficiency occurs in more than half of young, healthy women, and can lead to extreme fatigue, loss of physical and mental performance, and premenstrual and menstrual mood disturbances.
Magnesium may help to reduce cramping and other aches and pains, nervousness, breast tenderness, mood changes and weight gain associated with PMS.
Broccoli floret contains indoles and sulforaphane that help to retard growth of breast cancer.
Licorice root contains hormone-balancing phytoestrogens and may help to prevent symptoms of PMS associated with hormonal changes, such as depression, water retention, breast tenderness and sweet cravings.
Chaste berry (vitex) is used to regulate the menstrual cycle and maintain hormonal balance.
Pueraria root is a rich source of isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen that may lower the risk of hormone-related cancers and other hormone-related symptoms and diseases.
Bio-Activator Blend (Watkins Black Pepper and Ginger)
Black pepper and ginger stimulate digestion and circulation and may help to protect and maximize the potency of vitamins and nutrients in the body.
