Vitamin C (as Calcium Ascorbate) is a very powerful antioxidant
that works synergistically with the other antioxidants such as
Vitamin E. It reduces the symptoms of menorrhagia (abnormal
menstrual bleeding). Vitamin C concentrates in the female
ovaries, and during pregnancy, there is a significant increase
in the female body's requirements for Vitamin C.
Bioflavonoids enhances the absorption of Vitamin C, and they
should be taken together. European studies suggest that
bioflavonoids may help women prone to miscarriage sustain their
pregnancy. Bioflavonoids strengthen capillaries and promote
circulation throughout the body.
Vitamin E contributes to hormone production, improves
circulation, and prevents miscarriages. Signs of deficiency can
include infertility, menstrual problems, spontaneous abortion
(miscarriages) and uterine degeneration.
Folic acid (Folate) is very important in pregnancy. It helps to
regulate embryonic and fetal nerve cell formation, which is
vital for normal development. Studies have shown that taking
Folic acid in early pregnancy may prevent the vast majority of
neural tube defects, such as spina bifida and anencephaly. It
may also help to prevent premature birth. To be effective this
regimen must begin before conception. If a woman waits until she
knows she's pregnant, it may be too late because critical events
in fetal development occur during the first six weeks, and Folic
acid accummulates in the body very slowly.
Evening Primrose contains the essential fatty acids (EFA) which
are crucial to proper functioning of the hormone-like substances
called prostaglandins. Some experts speculate, for instance,
that protaglandins abnormalities may cause the fallopian tubes
to spasm, preventing the forward progression of the egg. An
imbalance could prevent ovulation. Experts believe that many
types of infertility may eventually be treated with
prostagladins.
False Unicorn is an herb used as an overall uterine tonic.
Especially useful for women experiencing pelvic congestion. It
is effective therapy for pelvic pain and dysfunction of the

Red Raspberry is known for its soothing properties. Red
Raspberry helps to ease many female complaints and discomforts,
while strengthening uterine muscle. It also helps to prevent
miscarriage during pregnancy. Red Raspberry also alleviates dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation.) It contains significant
amounts of natural Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex and calcium.
Dong Quai has been named the "Queen of all Female Herbs" and has
been used for thousands of years in Chinese Herbal Medicine to
nourish and balance the reproductive system. The chemical
constituents of this herb have an immediate stimulatory effect
on the uterus by strengthening and normalizing uterine
contractions. It is very rich in natural Vitamin E and iron. It
is used for regulating hormones and improving menstrual cycles.
Licorice is a plant that contains hormonally active compounds
categorized as saponins. Licorice is a source of the female
hormone estrogen. The Japanese have found that licorice based
remedies improve menstruation in women with infrequent menstrual
periods.
Vitex is also known as Chaste Tree, and is utilized in the
treatment of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome. It is recognized for its
ability to raise progesterone levels and lower high estrogen
levels. Lowered progesterone in the second half of a woman's
cycle is a common cause of miscarriage and infertility. It also
can correct ovarian dysfunction; Vitex improves luteal phase
defect by indirectly stimulating the endogenous production of
progesterone.
Black Cohosh is used in Herbal Medicine to treat hormonal
imbalance. It is commonly used for complaints of dysmenorrhea
and amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods). Researchers in
Europe have shown that Black Cohosh enhances pituitary
secretions with subsequent ovarian stimulation. It contains
isoflavones that have a mild, but significant, estrogenic
affect.
Royal Jelly is the milk-like secretions from the Queen Bee's nurseworkers. Royal Jelly is loaded with natural B vitamins,

problems. It also promotes cell longevity and has a wide range
of health benefits.
Raw Uterus helps to correct menstrual dysfunctions including
habitual miscarriage, irregular menstrual periods and
infertility. It helps prevent inflammation of the vagina and
cervical canal. It improves tissue growth and aids in calcium
absorption for bones and muscle.
Raw Ovary normalizes the important estrogen/progesterone
balance. It helps to correct overgrowth of the endometrium, PMS
symptoms, and pain during menstruation. It supports hormone
production to delay menopause.
