PMS (premenstrual syndrome) refers to a group of symptoms that occur a week or two before a woman gets her period. While the exact cause of these symptoms isn't known, they seem to be triggered by fluctuating hormone levels, especially after ovulation.

PMS symptoms include mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, fatigue, headache, low libido, breast pain, etc.

Although these symptoms can be difficult to deal with, the right supplements with active ingredients that work on these hormones may provide relief from PMS symptoms.

Here are the 5 best depression and fatigue relief supplements from Approved Science.

Adrenal glands play a very important part in managing your mood, as they secrete stress hormones and are involved in the fight-or-flight response.

Targeting adrenal glands, Approved Science’s Adrenasyl™ contains a blend of 5 adaptogenic mushrooms, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, selenium, and adrenal-supportive herbs to improve your mood.

The supplement also contains Bioperine, which is a unique compound hardly found in any other supplement that increases the absorption by 1.5 times. This is Approved Science's patented form of piperine, the active compound found in black pepper.

By providing the right nutrients, Adrenasyl™ promotes better response to daily stressors, combats adrenal fatigue, and boosts energy levels. The powerful adaptogenic herbs balance the fluctuating hormonal levels during PMS.

Fatigue is one of the most common PMS symptoms experienced by most women.

Your body tends to tire out after encountering continuous physical and psychological stressors, and the fatigue sets in, as your body is left with a lack of cortisol and serotonin after combating stress.

Designed to address this issue, Approved Science's Energysyl™ contains adaptogenic herbs and medicinal mushrooms that fight fatigue, boost metabolism, and increase energy. These are Siberian Ginseng, Ashwagandha, Reishi, and Cordyceps mushrooms.

The eight B vitamins in Energysyl™ increase energy production and its utilization. Its Bioperine content increases nutrient bioavailability and absorption.

The bioavailable form of vitamins B6 and B9 help increase serotonin production improving mood. The medicinal properties of the herbs and mushrooms in this supplement also reduce the amount of time needed to recover from physical and mental strain.

Testosterone Booster by Approved Science


Women who don't experience the normal spike in their testosterone levels during their menstrual cycle can face premenstrual testosterone deficiency symptoms.

As testosterone has both antidepressant and anxiolytic properties, a supplement that naturally boosts testosterone production can be the right solution to improve mood and help manage depression. One such supplement is Approved Science's Testosterone Booster, which has 1500 mg of clinically proven ingredients that boost testosterone levels, such as Tribulus Terrestris, Tongkat Ali, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6 blend (ZMA).

Apart from offering some relief for PMS symptoms, testosterone boosters can also promote lean muscle mass, help in weight management, improve mood and cognitive function, reduce inflammation, and lower gastrointestinal problems.
