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 PMS1 is taken
throughout a woman's cycle and works with her body to help balance production
of certain hormones; the correct balance can mitigate the onset of PMS.
Staying within our philosophy of keeping formulations simple, Oöna
PMS1 contains two tablets - a daily tablet and an additional "bonus
supplement". Each daily tablet consists of a very fine chaste tree berry
extract that is standardized to its key active compound.
It is also formulated for younger women who may not remember to take their
herbs throughout the day - so one tablet contains a mighty 275 mg. of chaste
tree berry-- all tat should be required.(check with your health care professional)
Most products on the shelf contain only 60 mg. or less of a lesser quality extract.
Since many women forget throughout the day to take the tablet or tincture, this
often means they do not get enough chaste tree in their system and later wonder
why it didn't work.
The daily tablet also contains black cohosh. Neither black cohosh or chaste
tree berry contain hormones or hormone-like substances; however the herbs do
influence hormonal activity through the pituitary gland and hypothalamus.
Next, we've added a "bonus supplement" of passionflower for women
who need a little extra relief. Taken just after ovulation ends, passionflower
extract is a great complement to chaste tree berry for women who feel especially
irritable and depressed just prior to menstruation. Passionflower has historically
been used as a calming agent, and is particularly helpful when physical or mental
strain results in stress. It is not a strong pain reliever but does have a lasting
and refreshing effect on the nervous system.

Oöna PMS1 is formulated so that you only need to take
it once a day. There are two different tablets in Oöna PMS1
- the daily tablet and the "bonus" tablet. One daily tablet
of chaste tree berry and black cohosh should be taken throughout the month.
The "bonus" tablet is passionflower, which comes
in a separate blister pack. Taken along with the daily tablet, you begin taking
the passionflower tablet mid-cycle, approximately 14 days begin you expect menstruation
to begin.
It may take up to 10-14 days to feel the effects, at which time you should switch from the initial to the maintenance serving size. For best results take regularly as directed. Although there are no known safety issues, discontinue Oona if you think you may be pregnant. On rare occassion, stomach upset may occur, usually transient, but if problem persists, stop using and contact you health care professional.
