When looking for customer reviews from past users of Kittie, we encountered the only issue that we have found with the product. This is that, as it is such a new supplement, reviews from people who have actually tried the product are few and far between and very hard to come by.
However, while having limited access to past customer reviews does make a supplement a little harder to analyse, it is to be expected and does not mean that the product can’t still be great. There is a lot of talk on social media, and the girls talking about it are all incredibly possitive although there's a lot more talk about the chocolate, which isn't too surprising with it being a social media friendly product.
In fact, the reviews that we did manage to find from past customers were virtually all glowing and suggested that Kittie truly could combat virtually all PMS symptoms and make going through your period a much smoother and less stressful event.
There were also compliments made regarding the quality and price of the supplement as well.
This, combined with our own research and the scientific evidence available, leads us to believe that Kittie truly is an extremely effective PMS supplement, and we expect that its reputation will only continue to grow as more and more women actually get to try it for themselves.
Lactobacillus Paragasseri – 20 Million CFU
Lactobacillus paragasseri is an extremely effective probiotic, which is a type of healthy bacteria that lives inside the gut and is essential for the digestive system to be able to stay healthy and work as it should, while 20 million CFU is a more than ample dosage to ensure that it works.
Taking it in a supplement will boost your internal gut microbiota balance. This will improve your digestion and help to combat the digestive issues you can face while on your period, while also combatting other PMS symptoms, like cramps, poor gut health, bloating and vaginal dryness (1).
Evening Primrose Powder – 500 MG
Evening primrose powder is a popular herbal extract that is rich in omega 6 fatty acids, as well as phenolic acids, triterpenes, and vitamin e. It is included in many PMS supplements as it can help regulate prolactin levels, a hormone that becomes unbalanced during a woman’s period.
Research suggests that it can reduce or even prevent PMS symptoms such as breast pain, hot flashes, oily or dry skin, joint pain, high cholesterol, and many other women’s health issues (2).
Vitamin E – 15 MCG
Vitamin e is a natural micro-nutrient made up of eight fat soluble compounds that form a potent antioxidant. During their period, women can often become deficient in this vitamin, so keeping your levels up will prevent the hormonal imbalances and issues such a deficiency can cause.
This includes problems like inflammation, brittle bones, poor heart, immune system, liver, skin and overall health and functions, a slow metabolism, cognitive decline, cramps, various diseases, and insufficient nitric oxide production and poor energy levels and strength (3).
Vitamin B6 – 1.7 MG
Vitamin B6 is made up of 6 different compounds that between them play a role in over 140 coenzyme reactions in the human body. It is a very useful ingredient for promoting an optimal hormonal balance, making it essential for women during PMS or even the menopause.
It is also vital for supporting neurotransmitter biosynthesis, which keeps the brain cells healthy and functioning and combats PMS symptoms like depression, mood swings, poor sleep quality and energy levels, a low metabolic rate and weight gain, cramps, and mental decline (4).
Ginkgo Biloba – 40 MG
The leaf extracts of the ginkgo biloba plant are well known for their powerful antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties. They are commonly included in nootropic supplements, but they can also improve your hormonal balance, both of which will be beneficial for women on their period.
Gingko biloba extract can improve your brain, heart, and eye health and functions, blood flow to the brain, mental clarity and performance, memory, energy levels, nitric oxide production, and ability to relax, and prevent oxidative stress, neurotoxic effects, and brain and mood issues (5).
Chasteberry Extract – 20 MG
Chasteberry extract comes from the fruit of the chaste tree and is one of the most widely used ingredients in PMS supplements, as it has the ability to regulate a woman’s hormone levels and prevent or alleviate virtually all of the symptoms they are likely to experience during their period.
This includes symptoms like hot flashes, breast pain, mood swings, night sweats, food cravings, fatigue, sleep issues, insomnia, bloating, depression, irritability, cramps, poor immune health, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, inflammation, diabetes, and heart health issues (6).
10:1 Ginger Extract – 150 MG
Ginger extract is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that can be very effective to deal with PMS symptoms, because it can treat or prevent the digestive issues, mood swings, and joint pains that women can experience during their period, as well as many other symptoms.
Beyond that, it can then also help to prevent cramps and oxidative damage to the joints, lower your cholesterol levels, boost the immune system, and improve the bioavailability of all of the other ingredients in the supplement, making them far easier to absorb and more effective (7).
Iron – 8 MG
Women are at a much greater risk of developing an iron deficiency during their period, especially if they have a heavy flow. This can cause a variety of health problems and may even lead to women experiencing symptoms that are more commonly linked to the menopause.
As a result, taking iron in dietary supplements can prevent anaemia, fatigue, poor energy levels, weakness, skin issues, chest pains, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, inflammation, light-headedness, brittle bones and nails, headaches, dizziness, and coldness in the extremities (8).
Vitamin D – 15 MCG
A fat soluble vitamin, vitamin d is an essential nutrient that regulates hormones which, like with iron, women can easily develop a deficiency in during their period. Keeping your levels up with a supplement therefore prevents hormone imbalances and other issues experienced during PMS.
This includes issues such as weight gain, mood swings, low bone health and density, cramps, poor protein synthesis, energy levels, nutrient breakdown and absorption, recovery time, and sleep quality, and an inability to relax or fall asleep (9).
5-HTP – 200 MG
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that has the ability pass through the blood brain barrier much more easily than most other compounds. This enables it to help boost the brain’s production of serotonin, which is a powerful neurotransmitter that helps to regulate your mood.
Increasing your serotonin levels will prevent or treat many of the symptoms experienced during your period, including poor sleep quality and fat metabolism, mood swings, anxiety, stress, depression, weight gain, food cravings, and an inability to relax (10).
Ginseng Extract – 1500 MG
Ginseng extract is herbal remedy that is made from the roots of plants in the panax family. It is very effective for helping to improve people’s mental health and preventing or treating hormonal imbalances, all of which is very useful for helping women prevent or deal with PMS symptoms.
It can restore your optimal hormonal balance, improve your brain health and functions, boost your energy levels and sex drive, and prevent many issues that often arise during a woman’s period, such as fatigue, hot flashes, mood swings, sleeplessness, and vaginal dryness (11).
Magnesium Glycinate – 100 MG
The mineral magnesium is required in order for at least 600 different reactions in the cells of the human body to occur. Much like some of the other vitamins and minerals we have seen, women can develop a magnesium deficiency during their period, leading to common PMS symptoms.
Taking magnesium supplements during your period can therefore improve your sleep quality, bone density, mood, and ability to relax and stay calm, soothe the muscles, and prevent mood swings, dehydration, hot flashes, night sweats, cramps, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep issues (12).
