I'm peri-menapausal, so I was dealing with some really intense flows and cramps. My chiropractor had gotten me to Chasteberry Plus and it's helped me immensely. It significantly lowered both my bleeding and my cramps. Anyone who tells me that they're suffereing from periods, I always tell them about this. I can't take ibuprofen because it pains my stomach versus this item, which doesn't hurt my stomach whatsoever.
