Understanding PMS and Hormonal Health

PMS, or premenstrual syndrome, can have a significant impact on women's well-being, manifesting as depression, fatigue, skin issues, and intense cravings. Estro Control, developed by Happy Mammoth, offers a targeted supplement designed specifically for women experiencing PMS, particularly those who are perimenopausal. This formula incorporates carefully selected herbal extracts that support hormonal health, especially focusing on the liver's role in estrogen processing. Improved liver function can help alleviate common PMS symptoms, making it easier for women to manage their menstrual cycles.
