Optimox - Optivite PMT, Multivitamin and Multimineral Suppor

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!

Love these vitamins! I was skeptical at first because of the price, and amount needed daily but I can honestly say it was worth it. They have completely changed my cycle for the better. Lighter cramps, lighter periods and WAY less mood swings before and during my period. I would highly recommend these to anyone dealing with PMS/PMDD. I would recommend giving these vitamins a try before something prescription for PMS symptoms. I also noticed I have a significant amount more of energy during the second half of my cycle. I went from needing coffee all day everyday to just my normal morning coffee during my luteal phase. These vitamins are really a game changer. Better than anything else I have tried for PMDD.

This fixed my inability to make cervical mucus and I have recommended it to countless people over the years when I teach NFP or get into conversations with other women about menstrual issues. It's terrific stuff. Definitely give it a try if you have anything funky about your cycles. Read the very long package insert!

These vitamins have been such a blessing for my pms. my immune system would always weaken 1 week before my period , now with these vitamins I don’t get sick or feel weak or tired. I also don’t get as emotional as I use to . I would get very sentimental. These vitamins have helped a lot with this. I highly highly recommend these vitamins!!

I started taking these after I heard the doctor who came created these miracle vitamins for all the crazy PMS symptoms. That was 25 years ago. They made the difference for me and my family. My disorder was like living in hell 2 weeks out of every month. If you have emotional or mental issues brought by PMS please order a bottle. Start slow, 2 with a meal and a full glass of water. After 2 days add two more with your second meal of the day and after two more days add two more with dinner. It takes about a week to notice a much better you. Refined or simple carbohydrates are a huge culprit in mood swings. My husband called me Dr. Jykel and Mr. Hyde. It is hard to live in that body when you could bite nails in half. I hated what it did to my children and my husband when I was so mean and hateful. The guilt I felt after I turned back into a human. These vitamins literally saved my life. I am 64 and after a hysterectomy at 27 an menopause the PMS got worse. Oh yes it worsens. I got on the zero sugar diet and returned to optivite. The clarity and memory have returned and my energy has improved. Fruits and vegetables and exercise is vital also.
