Wellstra Advanced
NewtonEverett
Overview
The effectiveness of Wellstra Advanced is moderate. While it contains some ingredients with promising research for women's health (e.g., Chaste Berry for PMS), others like Dong Quai and Wild Yam have limited or inconclusive evidence from rigorous human trials, particularly at the doses provided. The combination aims for synergistic effects, but the individual dosing of some botanicals might be on the lower end for optimal efficacy based on clinical research.
The Good
Chaste Berry (Chaste Tree) is well-researched for alleviating PMS symptoms, including breast tenderness, mood swings, and irritability.
Contains Vitamin B6 and Folate, which are essential for various metabolic functions and can support mood and energy levels.
May offer comprehensive support for menstrual cycle regulation and premenstrual discomfort due to the combination of botanicals.
The Bad
The efficacy of some botanical ingredients like Dong Quai and Wild Yam for women's health is not strongly supported by robust clinical trials.
High daily intake of Vitamin B6 (51mg) from the recommended dosage might increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy with long-term use, especially when combined with dietary sources.
Potential for drug interactions, especially with blood thinners, hormonal therapies, and medications affecting dopamine, due to Dong Quai and Chaste Berry.
