Take 2 capsules, taken in the evening, but start with just 1 capsule for a minimum of 10 nights in a row, before increasing to 2 capsules. Or as directed by your health care professional.
As with all herbal products that have an effect via the liver, it is always best to start with a reduced dose and work up slowly to the recommended dosage. If you know your liver function is poor, start slow and work up slowly.
Many people start by opening 1 capsule (by holding the 2 ends and gently twisting in opposite directions, while very gently pulling the 2 ends apart) and tip only 1/4 - 1/3 of the contents onto a mouthful of something (yoghurt or something of a similar consistency is good). Keep the rest of the capsule for the following nights. Start with 1/4 of a cap for 4 nights in a row, then increase to 1/2 a cap for two nights, then 1 whole cap. Take 1 cap for one week then increase to 2 caps.
With all hormonal balancing products, we suggest a woman starts this of Day 1 of her period (the 1st day of true bleeding) Take continuously throughout the month and do not skip a day. Take while you have your period too.
Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from light and heat. Do not use in conjunction with HRT, or hormonal products (pharmaceutical or herbal), unless advised to by your health care professional. Do not use if you have liver disease, including HIV or Hepatitis, without 1st seeking advice from your healthcare provider.
Femplex combines DIM with a group of herbs and plant compounds chosen for women’s hormone support. DIM is included for healthy oestrogen metabolism, while paeony, vitex, red clover and resveratrol are commonly used to support cycle balance, mood, skin and comfort through menstruation, perimenopause and menopause.
Tomato extract adds lycopene as an antioxidant, and Japanese knotweed contributes resveratrol. This mix matters because hormone support often goes beyond one symptom. Femplex is built to support the way hormone changes can show up in mood, cycle regularity, breast comfort, hot flushes and skin all at once.
