WHAT IS IT FOR?
REA is the combination of three ingredients that help reduce premenstrual symptoms. Currently it is estimated that between 30-40% of women have premenstrual syndrome. Of this percentage, approximately 20% see how part of the symptoms affect their daily activities.
REA is indicated to treat both physical symptoms (chest pain, tiredness, fatigue, insomnia) such as mood swings. By acting through different mechanisms, it is a supplement that helps with the entire spectrum of symptoms in this phase of the menstrual cycle, as well as being support in other problems at the gynecological level.
VITEX AGNUS
The vitex agnus (also known as chasteberry or sauzgatillo) is a plant used to treat menstrual disorders for several centuries. This plant has different compounds such as vitexin, agnusides or casticin that have a beneficial effect on the fluctuations that occur during the menstrual cycle. Today, We know that part of premenstrual symptoms are due to high levels of prolactin (hyperprolactinemia).
Vitex helps reduce prolactin levels relieving these symptoms (especially chest pain). In addition, some studies show that they have activity on dopamine receptors (neurotransmitter) and that they help regulate the ratio of lutinizing hormone:follicle-stimulating hormone (LH:FSH), acting on estrogen and progesterone levels. In this way, the active compounds of vitex would not only act at the premenstrual level, but would also help other gynecological problems.
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium deficiency is one of the causes that accentuate premenstrual syndrome. Thus, it has been observed that magnesium levels in blood cells (erythrocytes) and cells of the immune system (leukocytes) are lower in women with premenstrual syndrome than in women without discomfort.
On the other hand, we can also find alterations in the metabolism of magnesium in some cases of migraine or even in neuropsychiatric disorders. Therefore, magnesium supplementation may help relieve certain premenstrual symptoms since it influences muscle contraction and even the activity of some neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
Saffron (crocus sativus)
The crocus sativus better known as saffron, presents flavonoids and other active compounds that have antibacterial, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and even antidepressant activity. As far as the menstrual cycle is concerned, it has been observed that it helps improve mood due to its action on serotonin metabolism, being one of the few supplements that shows benefits on premenstrual dysphoric syndrome (PMDD), a disorder of severe mood that affects 8% of women.
Furthermore, recently published reviews show benefits on pathologies such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular pathologies, which opens the door to other benefits.
