Shatavari helps provide emotional and occasional stress support for women, making it an excellent option for women who suffer from occasional PMS.* Shatavari translates in Sanskrit to “she who possesses a hundred husbands” for good reason.

Ashwagandha 

Ashwagandha is one of the most revered and studied adaptogens, with an incredible ability to support the body’s adaptation to occasional stress and promote a healthy immune system.* Although Ashwagandha is capable of supporting your body’s response to occasional stress, providing a sense of calm, it may also support healthy energy levels within normal ranges.* For women who want some support when it comes to occasional restlessness or something that supports healthy energy and focus, Ashwagandha may be an excellent option.*

Drink it to help support balanced hormones within normal ranges and healthy energy levels in your body.* Maca may help support satisfying sex for women, promoting an increased libido with its aphrodisiacal qualities.*
