Can I take Easy Cycle Support if I’m on birth control?
Yes! None of the herbs in our formula are known to interfere with the effectiveness of oral hormonal birth control or hormonal IUD birth control.
When should I take Easy Cycle Support during the month?
For best results, take Easy continuously throughout the month. Taking Easy continuously will provide optimal symptom relief, and set the stage for positive and permanent change in your cycle.
Taking our formula for several months will reduce symptoms over time, and that change is often maintained even if the dose is reduced or stopped completely! We recommend taking Easy continuously for 3 months as a starting point. For more severe menstrual discomfort, you may need to take it for a longer period of time in order to achieve sustained improvement.
If taking Easy continuously doesn’t feel like its in the cards for you, you can also take it the week before your period and throughout bleeding.
How long do I need to take Easy Cycle Support before I start feeling better?
It depends on your situation. If you have mild to moderate symptoms, you will begin to notice positive changes to your cycle within the first one to two months. If you have severe symptoms, it may take longer.
It’s important to mention that we are not planning on you taking Easy every day for the rest of your menstruating life! Our formula⸺when taken consistently⸺will reduce your symptoms over time. After several months of taking Easy™ you may find you are able to reduce the dosage or even stop completely and stay symptom-free!
How many capsules do I need to take?
How many Easy capsules you need to take will vary depending on your symptoms.
If your symptoms are mild, you may only need to take 10 capsules per day for the 10 days before and during your period, or 3 capsules per day all month long (one bottle of Easy per month). If your symptoms are moderate, you can take 20 capsules per day for the 10 days before and during your period, or 6 capsules per day all month long (two bottles per month). If your symptoms are severe, you can take 10 capsules per day all month long, or 20 per day for 15 days before and during your period (three bottles per month). You can even take 20 capsules per day for the entire month, if you are dealing with off the charts symptoms (four-six bottles per month).
Can I take Easy Cycle Support if I’m not having a period?
Yes. If you’re not having menstrual bleeding due to your birth control method (for example, the Mirena IUD) but you still have symptoms like cramping pain, breast tenderness, mood swings, acne, etc., take Easy continuously throughout the month for best results. Alternatively, you can take Easy during the times when you have symptoms.
Who is Easy Cycle Support not appropriate for?
In some instances Easy may not be the right thing for you, or it may need to be combined with additional support.
People experiencing amenorrhea (lack of period) due to low body weight or menstrual flooding (excessive menstrual bleeding) will very likely need more support than Easy can provide.
If you are in one of these situations, you can still take Easy as part of your cycle care plan, but we strongly encourage you to seek additional support from a healthcare professional.
Can I take Easy Cycle Support while breastfeeding?
Many physicians are cautious about taking any herbal supplement while breastfeeding. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting Easy if you are currently breastfeeding.
What if I can’t swallow capsules? Can I still take Easy Cycle Support?
Yes. Each Easy capsule contains a portion of granulated herbal extract made by decocting the raw herbal formula in water and then concentrating it down into powder form. To create a pill-free experience, simply open the capsules and empty the granule extract into a cup. Add hot water, stir, and drink!
Can I take Easy Cycle Support if I have irregular periods?
Yes. If you have an irregular cycle ⸺ie the number of days between bleeding varies significantly⸺we recommend taking Easy continuously throughout the month. Over time, you cycle will likely become more regular.
Can I take Easy Cycle Support if I’m in perimenopause or menopause?
Yes, but there may be other herbal formulas better for you if you are having symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, fatigue and mood changes rather than irregular periods, cramping, headaches and acne.
