A little from FEM21:
Balances Hormones
Fem21's unique formulation of herbs and superfoods supports healthy oestrogen levels and promotes progesterone production. We have included herbs that also support our adrenal and thyroid hormones, this is crucial for maintaining healthy hormones long term.
Supports Gut Health
Our unique blend of probiotics helps to support the microbiome and create a healthy balance of good bacteria. Fem21 is rich in soluble and insoluble fibre, which helps our bowels to move regularly. Fibre is very important for our hormonal health as it binds toxic hormonal metabolites and carries them out of the body.
Enhances Liver Cleansing
Detoxifying and supporting liver function is very important for keeping your body healthy and your hormones in balance. Your liver does the majority of hormonal metabolism as well as clearing the body of toxins.
