Menstrual issues can arise from an imbalance of hormones, which can be due to genetics, age, diet, lifestyle, environment, emotional state, and many other factors. For that reason, this protocol is divided into three parts: foundational functional systems (parts I and II), which are key for all women, and menopausal symptomatic support (part III), which is used on a patient-by-patient basis. All of these are combined with physical, mental, emotional, and other whole-health support.

Part I – Foundational endocrine support

FemmenessencePRO HARMONY (Symphony Natural Health)

Dosing:

1 capsule, twice daily away from meals; The first dose should be taken in the morning before breakfast and the second dose early in the afternoon or just before the afternoon energy dip. FemmenessencePRO HARMONY shouldn’t be taken later in the day, as it may disrupt sleep.

  • Light dose: For women who are more sensitive, consider one capsule in the morning.
  • Higher dosing: If a patient doesn’t get the desired response in the first 2–4 cycles or needs additional support, increase to 2 capsules, twice daily for 1–2 cycles.
  • Maintenance dose: After 4–8 months of use, if the body has been rebalanced, reduce the dose by half.

FemmenessencePRO HARMONY contains MacaHarmony, a concentrated, highly bioavailable, proprietary formulation of Lepidium peruvianum (maca) phenotypes specifically formulated for women to support the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid-adrenal-ovarian (HPTAO) axis, as well as menstrual and reproductive health.*
