General

Whether stress or hormonal fluctuations, discomfort (negative sensations) during menstruation or normal premenstrual symptoms (PMS) associated with the female cycle: Women are exposed to very different stresses in their everyday lives. This makes it all the more important to provide the body with important micronutrients in order to be fit and efficient every day.

It should also be remembered that women have completely different vitamin and nutrient requirements to men. That is why we have taken care to include important micronutrients for women in the ingredients of our Cycle Balance capsules, which provide particular support for the female body. According to the National Nutrition Survey II, 75% of women under the age of 50 do not reach the recommended daily intake of iron, 21% of women do not reach the recommended intake of zinc and 29% of women do not reach the recommended intake of magnesium.

With Cycle Balance, you can easily provide your body with these nutrients and more every day. Of course, this supplement does not replace a balanced diet, which is important for the body and should be adapted to your needs.

With our Cycle Balance capsules, we rely on the well-founded composition of selected micronutrients, the proven plant extract of monk's pepper and L-carnitine to offer you a sensible dietary supplement without superfluous ingredients.

Important: Food supplements are only ever a supplement to a balanced and healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Cycle Balance FAQ

Is Cycle Balance lactose-free?

Yes, Cycle Balance is lactose-free, as it contains no lactose or even any dairy based ingredients. Female Protect and Mineral Complete, which are often stacked with Cycle Balance are also lactose-free.

According to the label, Cycle Balance is "not suitable for children, adolescents" - why?

At More we aim to be as transparent as possible with our products and ensure we communicate any and all potential risks with our products. Cycle Balance includes an ingredient known as Monk’s Pepper. There is no evidence to suggest that Monk’s Pepper carries any meaningful risk to children or adolescents but there is no published data clearly stating it is safe. As such, we have included a caution on the label to let our consumers know this. However, there is also no evidence that Monk's Pepper is unsafe in post-pubertal female adolescents.

Please always contact your treating physician if you are unsure.

What dosage of Cycle Balance is recommended for adolescents?

In principle, there is nothing against giving your children supplements to prevent deficiencies or fill gaps in their nutrition supply. This is why thousands of parents already give their children Kids Complete or, at a later age, a combination of Essentials O3-D3-K2 and Mineral Complete. Cycle Balance has been formulated to help fill nutrition gaps that may be present in women and provide additional nutritional support that can help with the female cycle, including young women. However, given the effects that the ingredient Chaste Tree Extract has on hormones and symptoms related to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), it should be approved by a healthcare provider before being administered to an adolescent.

Does a combination of Meno Support & Cycle Balance make sense?

Generally speaking Meno Support and Cycle Balance are designed for different situations. Cycle Balance is best when used in weeks 3 and 4 (the luteal phase).

It would be more beneficial to combine either Cycle Balance or Meno Support with other nutritional support tools such as Essentials O3-D3-K2 and Mineral Complete than to combine Cycle Balance and Meno support.

I use hormonal contraception. Should I take Cycle Balance?

Cycle Balance was developed and created specifically for women with a normal menstrual cycle. Hormonal contraception generally disrupts the normal menstrual cycle which means Cycle Balance is likely not the ideal supplement for you. 

If you are using hormonal contraception, it makes sense to take Pill Support in addition to the basics from Essentials O3-D3-K2 and Mineral Complete. Oral contraceptives lead to a greater need for some nutrients (e.g. vitamin C and B6) and decrease needs for others (e.g. iron).

Can I combine Cycle Balance with Essentials O3-D3-K2 and with the Mineral Complete?

Yes, you can combine these three products.

What is the recommended daily dose? How do I make sure that I do not overdose?

The recommended daily dose of Cycle Balance is 4 capsules a day which will reduce the likelihood of consuming too much of any nutrient. Generally speaking, consuming vitamins and minerals above the daily reference value is not considered “overdosing” but “exceeding the daily reference limit”. 

It is actually quite difficult to over consume water soluble vitamins like vitamin B6 as your body will filter out excess levels quite efficiently through urination. 

Additionally, a value above the reference value is by no means equivalent to an overdose (with negative consequences). Rather, slightly supraphysiological doses of nutrients that result in blood values above the reference range can make sense in certain situations. For many parameters it even makes sense to stay in the upper range or even slightly above the reference values (e.g.: 25(OH)D). This is also the case with unpleasant sensations before menstruation, for which Cycle Balance was designed. The fact that this means that the vitamin B6 level is above the reference value shows its effectiveness. Because in different clinical studies, up to 600 mg of vitamin B6 per day were administered over longer periods of time to achieve supraphysiological vitamin B6 levels. In some cases, these had positive effects on unpleasant sensations before menstruation — without side effects. That's why higher doses of vitamin B6 are included in Cycle Balance.
