Dong Quai Supreme
Brand: Gaia Herbs
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This proprietary blend features Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis), often called 'female ginseng.' At a cellular level, Dong Quai contains ligustilide and ferulic acid. These compounds interact with estrogen receptors, helping to modulate hormonal fluctuations. They may support smooth muscle relaxation in the uterus and improve microcirculation. By influencing neurotransmitter activity, this herb aims to stabilize mood and reduce physical discomfort associated with the menstrual cycle. The liquid form ensures rapid absorption into the bloodstream for faster bioavailability compared to dry capsules.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy menstrual cycle regulation
- May alleviate cramping and physical discomfort
- Promotes hormonal balance during menopause
- Enhances blood circulation and vitality
Usage & Safety
The recommended dosage is 30 drops taken daily. For best absorption, mix the liquid into a small amount of water or juice. Consistency is key; take it at the same time each day. Do not use during pregnancy or lactation. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are taking pharmaceutical drugs, especially blood thinners, as Dong Quai contains coumarin derivatives.
