This is how Dr. Reiss treats his patients for the following conditions:
PRE MENSTRUAL SYNDROME (PMS)

I opened a PMS clinic in 1982. At that time, organized medicine thought that crazy, eccentric, and unrealistic women have PMS. Obviously, I knew it then and every one of the women that I treated knew it too, that treatment for PMS has several categories. You can find more detailed information on managing PMS in my book The Natural Superwoman. Particularly, look for the sections on diet, activity and handling stress management.*

A. General Supplements for PMS

Women's Longevity Formula (Reproductive Years)

This is for woman under 45. This is a vitamin, mineral and herbal blend I have been using for 25 years that I constantly update and change. Clinically, I find this product has great success. It is a basic multi-vitamin that is especially helpful to woman who suffer from PMS.

I recommend 2-12 pills twice a day. Take with food. When you are taking too much you will have indigestion, so you will want to decrease the amount and increase it back up slowly. The more tired you feel, the more severe your PMS is, the more you should take.*

Women's Longevity Formula (Anti-Aging & Balancing)

This is for woman over 45. This is a vitamin, mineral and herbal blend I have been using for 25 years that I constantly update and change. Clinically, I find this product has great success. It is a basic multi-vitamin that is especially helpful to woman who suffer from PMS.

I recommend 2-12 pills twice a day. Take with food. When you are taking too much you will have indigestion, so you will want to decrease the amount and increase it back up slowly. The more tired you feel, the more severe your PMS is, and the more you should take.*

Female Tonic

This is an herbal tonic that aims to deal with the symptoms of PMS.

I recommend 1 dropper full 3 times per day or 2 droppers full 2 times per day.*

B. Additional Supplements for PMS

If you are currently on a multi-vitamin and you don't want to use the product above, or if you find your PMS is not responding only to the multi-vitamin the following will be very good additions to what you are taking:

Bio-PMT

This is a vitamin, mineral and herbal formula that supports many PMS complaints.

I recommend 2-4 pills twice a day.*

B6

I recommend 1-2 pills a day. (For each pill of B6, you must take 1 pill of B Complex) *

Spectra B (B Complex)

Spectra B is a high-potency vitamin B Complex with mineral co-factors, zinc, manganese, and chromium. Spectra B supports optimal B vitamin metabolism and promotes healthy mitochondrial function, glucose regulation, and adrenal response.

I recommend 1 B Complex pill per B6 pill. *

Evening Primrose Oil

This is a natural source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) which is a precursor of the valuable prostaglandin E1 series, which plays an important role in the maintenance of good health.

I recommend 1 pill 3 times per day.*

Magnesium Glycinate

This is essential to prevent water retention.

I recommend 1-3 pills twice a day.

Please note: Too much may cause loose stool. *

Ionic Magnesium

This is a liquid. I recommend 1-2 droppers full two to three times per day.

Please note: Too much may cause loose stool.*

The combination of B6, B complex, magnesium, and evening primrose oil can be a simple core treatment to manage the many symptoms PMS has.
