Since women can experience either psychological
or physiological symptoms, or both types, Oöna Health
has developed two different formulations that may be taken
separately or together. Oöna PMS2 is an herbal supplement
formulated more for the physiological symptoms that come on
right before menstruation.* Oöna PMS2 is taken two to
three days before you expect menstrual cramps and ends when
the symptoms subside.* You do not take PMS2 throughout the
month.
If you experience some of the following
symptoms*, Oöna PMS2 is the right product for you
Oöna PMS2 consists of a proprietary
cramp bark extract and a non proprietary ginger extract. Although
cramp
bark (Viburnum Opulus) has long been a staple
for clinical use, the Oöna PMS2 cramp bark extract is
unique because it is one of the first to be standardized.
There is a patent pending on this extract. In the past, much
of the cramp bark sold was in tincture form that uses ethanol
or alcohol as its base. These extracts come in strengths like
3:1 or 4:1. They do not address the strength of any active
ingredients. The issue has been that women don't really know
the strength of each bottle and because of the extraction
process they needed to take a lot of the tincture throughout
the day. It is very inconvenient.
The cramp bark in Oöna uses a very
clean extraction process call Supercritical
Fluid Extraction whereby we use a combination of pressure
and CO2 gas. We have also identified the compound that is
a key contributor to the herbs therapeutic properties. By
identifying this compound, we are able to make an extract
consistent in strength and efficacy without altering the herb
at all. We have also added a ginger
extract, known to lower prostaglandins
and aid in digestion issues that often accompany the onset
of menstruation.*
It is important to note that Oöna PMS2
is not ibuprofen and does not work like it. The cramp bark
in Oöna PMS2 will work with your body to help relax smooth
muscle - your uterus is made up of smooth muscle.* You may
still feel a little tug but your cramps should decrease substantially.
On very severe days, you may take ibuprofen with Oöna
PMS2 - albeit a lot less. (For a full explanation of how the
herbs work -- go to How do they work?,
PMS2 Ingredients, and Oöna
PMS2).
