Cycle Balance

Are you struggling with complaints such as tiredness and fatigue, your cognitive functions, e.g. learning, remembering and thinking, are sometimes not as they should be and your energy metabolism is in the cellar? What's more, your skin, hair and nails are no longer within the normal range? Then our CYCLE BALANCE capsules are just right for you. The selected micronutrients support your natural cycle and help your body to return to normal in these areas.

What do the CYCLE BALANCE PMS capsules do

Whether it's stress or hormone fluctuations, discomfort (negative feelings) during menstruation or normal premenstrual symptoms (PMS) associated with the female cycle: women are exposed to a wide range of stresses in their daily lives. This makes it all the more important to supply the body with important micronutrients in order to be fit and productive every day. It should also not be forgotten that women have very different vitamin and nutrient requirements to men. That is why we have made sure that the ingredients in our PMS capsules contain important micronutrients for women that provide particular support for the female body. According to the National Consumption Study II, 75% of women under 50 do not reach the recommended daily intake of iron, 21% of women do not reach the recommended intake of zinc and 29% of women do not reach the recommended intake of magnesium. 1 With CYCLE BALANCE, you can easily supply your body with these and even more nutrients every day. Of course, this supplement does not replace a balanced and important diet for the body, which should be adapted to your needs.

In addition to zinc, iron and magnesium, our CYCLE BALANCE capsules contain, among other things, vitamin B6, which has been shown to help regulate hormonal activity, and chromium, which supports healthy blood sugar levels – scientifically confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).2

But what positive effects do these nutrients have?

Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace element and a true all-rounder. Not only does it contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system, but it also supports your body both internally and externally in a variety of ways. For this reason, and because more than a fifth of women have insufficient zinc intake from their diet, we have chosen zinc as an ingredient for our Women's Balance Capsules.

The zinc it contains has been shown to contribute to:

• maintaining normal skin, hair and nails
• protecting cells from oxidative stress
• maintaining normal acid-base metabolism

Iron

Iron is a particularly important yet rare mineral for women, which is why it should be included in a well-balanced cycle product. Among other things, iron has been shown to contribute to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. This makes the mineral particularly important for women, since their body loses at least 30 to a maximum of 180 ml of blood per month due to menstruation – and this is accompanied by a not inconsiderable loss of iron.3 In addition, a large proportion of women in Germany do not get enough iron their diet.1 As a supplement to a balanced diet and iron-rich foods, the CYCLE BALANCE capsules therefore also provide you with 10 mg of highly bioavailable iron per daily dose, plus vitamin C, which has also been shown to increase iron absorption.

The iron contained has been scientifically proven to contribute to:

• normal oxygen transport in the body
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• normal cognitive function

Magnesium

Magnesium is known for its effect on muscles in many people, because it has been shown to contribute to normal muscle function and protein synthesis. However, the micronutrient can do much more, which is also very important for a balanced cycle. For example, it also supports normal functioning of the nervous system. Due to its numerous positive properties – which also include a function in cell division – you will also find magnesium in our PMS capsules to support your cycle in the best possible way during your daily challenges.

Magnesium contributes to:

• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• the maintenance of normal bones and teeth
• normal psychological function

Chromium

CYCLE BALANCE capsules also contain the trace element chromium. You may wonder what chromium is doing in a dietary supplement for a balanced cycle?

The answer is simple: there is consistent scientific evidence that insulin sensitivity changes during the female cycle. It is thought that during the second half of the cycle, insulin sensitivity is somewhat reduced, which may impact blood sugar levels.4 Because chromium has been shown to help maintain normal blood sugar levels, as scientifically confirmed by EFSA, we have added chromium to CYCLE BALANCE at the maximum effective level but still at a level deemed safe by EFSA.

Due to the maximum effective dosage, no chromium-containing food supplements should be taken in addition to CYCLE BALANCE. For the same reason, if you are taking antidiabetic medication (drugs that also affect blood sugar levels), you should consult your doctor beforehand, as chromium can increase their effect.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 completes our CYCLE BALANCE capsules. We have added a high dose of the vitamin in its active form to our Women's Balance capsules because it has been shown to help regulate hormonal activity.

This is how vitamin B6 helps the female cycle:
A hormonal change takes place between the cycle phases. In the first half of the cycle, the hormone estrogen is dominant and in the second half, progesterone is dominant. Vitamin B6 has been shown to help regulate the hormonal activity of estrogen and progesterone – scientifically confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).5

What makes these Women's Balance capsules so special

Unlike other PMS products and female cycle supplements, our CYCLE BALANCE capsules are based on a well-founded composition of selected micronutrients, the proven plant extract from monk's pepper and L-carnitine, in order to offer you a sensible dietary supplement without unnecessary ingredients. Combining micronutrients and trace elements such as zinc, iron, magnesium, vitamin B6 and chromium in a single capsule has various reasons and advantages.

First of all, zinc, magnesium and iron have been shown to contribute equally to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, helping you to get through each day feeling fit and productive. Of course, when choosing the ingredients for the CYCLE BALANCE capsules, we also paid particular attention to the needs of the female body. The zinc contained in the capsules contributes to normal fertility and normal reproduction (reproductive function), while the iron and magnesium contained in the capsules also play a role in cell division.

Chromium and vitamin B6 also play a role in the female cycle. Chromium has been shown to support blood sugar levels when insulin sensitivity decreases in the second half of the cycle. Vitamin B6, on the other hand, can influence hormonal activity in the (female) body and thus help regulate oestrogen and progesterone. CYCLE BALANCE also contains monk's pepper (Vitex agnus-castus L.) extract and acetyl-L-carnitine.

To ensure that you can take not only sensible but also safe food supplements every day, we have the ingredients in our products regularly tested by independent laboratories. So you can be sure that your CYCLE BALANCE capsules contain only what is good for you.
