What is a PMS Problem Pack?
-
Can you imagine waking up and having your supplement regimen already prepared for you? How wonderful, right?
Around here, we call these a Problem Pack. They are individual supplement packs that are divided into AM and PM doses. This premium packaging is great for convenience, adherence, and monitoring.
We’ve done the hard work for you! Now, you simply just “rip and take” all of the contents in each pack based on the time of day.
Each box contains a monthly supply that shows up directly on your doorstep. If interested, we have a subscribe and save 30-day auto-refill option available as well.
As you can see, we are all about making your hormone health journey as simple as possible!
-
There are a lot of vitamins and supplements out there on the market! We’ve done our research and partnered with the most trusted brands of professional grade supplements.
Taking high-quality supplements decreases the risk of cross-contamination of ingredients, improper labeling, incorrect storage practices, expired ingredients, and other issues that may adversely impact an individual’s health.
Our supplement manufacturers have not only followed the basic guidelines set by the FDA, known as the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs), but they have also invited third-party companies to verify their products from an unbiased perspective.
As you can see, we only want the best of the best for our patients!

As functional pharmacists, we’ve carefully reviewed thousands of professional grade supplements to curate the best protocols for your lifestyle.
We’ve done the research for you so you can have confidence in these premium products and launch your hormone health in a new direction!

PMS Support Blend - The combination of herbs like chaste tree extract, dong quai, and ginger may help support hormonal balance*, regulate mood swings*, and reduce breast tenderness* and bloating* associated with PMS.
CoQ10 + Fish Oil - CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant and supports mitochondrial function, potentially reducing oxidative stress and improving energy* levels during PMS. Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, may help reduce inflammation* and support brain health, potentially reducing pain* and improving mood swings* associated with PMS.
Boswellia + Turmeric - These herbs possess anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation* and alleviate PMS cramps* and other symptoms related to inflammation.
S-Acetyl Glutathione - Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. This form is well-absorbed and more stable throughout the digestive tract than other forms on the market. By supporting glutathione levels daily, the body has less of a burden to detox as heavily during your cycle. Over time, this decreased stress on the body contributes to a decrease in the severity of PMS symptoms.*
Magnesium Blend - Features magnesium L-threonate, the only form of magnesium known to cross the blood-brain barrier. Magnesium is involved in muscle function and relaxation. Supplementing with magnesium may help relax muscles involved in menstrual cramps and bowel movements, potentially reducing discomfort* associated with PMS.
Fiber - Fiber aids in bowel regularity and the elimination of excess hormones from the body. Fiber also helps balance blood sugar levels, which may lead to decreased inflammation* and improved hormonal balance* over time.
Methylated B-Vitamin Complex - B vitamins play a role in methylation and homocysteine metabolism. Maintaining healthy homocysteine levels may help reduce inflammation* and contribute to hormonal regulation, serotonin production, fluid balance, and pain relief.*
We know that you are not Ovary-Acting! These problem packs were thoughtfully created for women, by women. We hope it makes your time of the month less of a problem!
Professional Grade Supplements
As medication experts, we are obsessed with quality, safety, and outcomes. We only partner with others who share these core values.

Let’s take care of your Woman Problems, Period.
“Ovary-Acting: My PMS Problem Packs have genuinely helped make my time of the month less of a problem! We created these because I wanted to find a more convenient way to live a healthy lifestyle and support my hormones. Women are busy and don’t have time to struggle with debilitating PMS symptoms or live on NSAIDs just to survive. These problem packs have been a dream come true and I cannot wait for other women to experience freedom from their PMS symptoms as they balance their hormones from a natural approach.”
—Dr. Kristi F. Teague, PharmD, MBA and Co-Founder/Co-CEO of My Functional Pharmacist

How does this
help address my PMS?
-
The supplements in the pack aim to help regulate PMS symptoms by targeting the underlying issue of hormone imbalances: estrogen dominance and/or progesterone deficiency.
Estrogen dominance, where there is an excessive amount of estrogen compared to progesterone, is commonly associated with PMS symptoms.
-
Some of the supplements support foundational detox pathways and cellular health/inflammation (upstream issues), whereas others more directly support hormone balancing (downstream issues).
Together, in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, they work in harmony to help reduce PMS symptoms over time.
-
By supporting foundational detox pathways, your body can more efficiently clear the excess hormones and toxins wreaking havoc on your life.
Over time, efficient detox pathways help reduce PMS symptoms by promoting hormone balance. This is why we have included several detox supplements in our protocol.
-
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various processes. The health and proper functioning of cells are essential for maintaining hormonal balance.
Therefore, we have included several supplements that support cellular health by increasing nutrient availability and decreasing inflammation.
-
We have included a comprehensive blend of Native American and Chinese herbs traditionally used to provide balance and support for a healthy menstrual cycle.
These supplements more directly contribute to hormone balancing by promoting the increase of progesterone. By doing so, the balance between estrogen and progesterone can be restored, reducing the impact of estrogen dominance and alleviating PMS symptoms.
What is in
Ovary-Acting: My PMS Problem Pack?
-
Since we know that you are not Ovary-Acting when it comes to your cycle issues, we’ve curated a premium protocol of professional grade supplements. As you can see by the chart below, we want to take care of your Woman Problems, Period.
While supplements are not a standalone solution, we know when the right ones are used to complement a healthy lifestyle, they can make your time of the month less of a problem. Let’s go girls!
-
The professional grade supplements in Ovary-Acting: My PMS Problem Pack are formulated based on scientific research and undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure purity, potency, and effectiveness.
Professional grade supplements are often considered superior to over-the-counter (OTC) supplements for several reasons:
Quality assurance
Ingredient selection
Higher potency
Specific, research-based formulations
Guidance from healthcare professionals
Avoidance of contaminants and allergens
-
As described on the box, Ovary-Acting: My PMS Problem Pack targets PMS cramps, bloating, hormonal balance, acne, mood-swings, and more. While not listed in the table below, several of our supplements also address other PMS-related issues, such as breast tenderness, headaches, nausea, etc. We hope to be transparent with you so you can see our intention behind this particular pack of premium supplements.
As always, please remember that *these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

All of the supplements listed below were intentionally selected to target PMS relief from a multi-faceted approach. From a broad perspective, these types of support can be broken down into two mechanisms:
Cellular health and inflammation - We want to provide your mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) with nourishment so you can begin to thrive! Cellular support reduces PMS symptoms indirectly by reducing oxidative stress and subsequent inflammation, which can lead to hormone imbalances and PMS symptoms.
Detox of excess hormones - Each month, we can think of our cycle as a detox as we shed unwanted tissues from the body. Our modern society is full of daily toxins and endocrine disruptors that lead to hormone imbalances. Therefore, this increases the stress and pain of our cycles when it comes time to eliminate excess hormones. However, if we implement daily detox routines, such as supplements that support detox pathways, we can indirectly reduce the burden of our cycle over time.

Consistency and Patience: Supplements often require consistent usage over an extended period to see significant effects. Follow the recommended duration of use and be patient with the process. Hormonal balance takes time to restore, so results may not be immediate.
Pair with a Healthy Lifestyle: Supplements work best when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Focus on consuming a balanced diet, exercising regularly, practicing stress management techniques (such as meditation or yoga), and getting adequate sleep. These can also support hormone balance. For more recommendations that are tailored to your specific needs, feel free to book a Wellness Consult to ensure you are getting the most out of your problem pack.
Track Symptoms and Progress: Keep a journal or use a symptom-tracking app to monitor changes in PMS symptoms and overall well-being. Note any improvements or changes over time, as this can help you and your healthcare team assess the effectiveness of the supplement regimen.
-
It depends! Supplements often require consistent usage over an extended period to see significant effects. Follow the recommended duration of use, pair with a healthy lifestyle, and be patient with the process. Hormonal balance takes time to restore, so results may not be immediate.
We recommend taking the problem packs for at least 3-6 months before moving onto a different regimen or adding in new protocols. Some women may even take up to a year to restore hormonal balance. Everyone is different. As mentioned above, timing will also depend upon the lifestyle that accompanies the supplement regimen. Our hope is that these would enhance your efforts and encourage you along your health journey.
If you’re looking for more guidance on supplement duration, additional recommendations, and/or hormone health education, please feel free to schedule a Wellness Consult (45 minutes, 1-1 virtual consultation). We would love to meet with you!
Disclaimer: If you have a significant adverse reaction, which would be rare, please stop immediately and seek out medical attention. If you have a mild-moderate reaction, please stop taking supplement and follow-up with your healthcare team on next best steps.
