Agnus Castus - Highly recommended to deal with moods!

Over the couple of years I have found my moods becoming increasingly blacker, terrible rages and temper in the week or so before my period. Due to the terrible moods I was driving people away and making poor decisions.

Did a bit of research and 4 months ago I bought some Agnus Castus tablets (Femlieve) from Holland & Barrett. My moods around my periods have gradually improved and just had a period with no miseries whatsoever. Im happy and everyone around me is happier!

Just thought I would put my recommendation on here, hopefully it will help other ladies who were in the same position as me and also to ask if anyone knows of anywhere where they are on offer? Any other makes anyone can recomend?
Aim to win in 2013 - a holiday somewhere nice, New York break, treats for family & friends & some cash would be lovely!!!

    I have also used it along with Evening Primrose Oil and indeed good. Not sure about any offer though sorry!

  • i've used this brand before, available from various sellers & probably on amazon too. they did seem to help with pmt but they messed with my cycle/caused spotting so i didn't carry on with them. think you have to only take them at a certain time in your cycle & as mine was a little irratic at the time, i probably didn't get my timing right.
  • I ask my GP about Agnus Castus for the same symptoms too and she advised me to try a cheaper option first: vitamin B complex, folic acid and magnesium. I went to Holland & Barratt on one of their penny sales and stocked up. Things have improved dramatically since taking this cocktail! I never needed to try Agnus Castus.

    I also saw improvements in period regularity, less period pain and I'm sleeping MUCH better.
