Not bad? ...but not effective for me
PLEASE READ LAST PARAGRAPH I've been looking into a lot of things lately to help with the health of my menstrual cycle in general. Many women, myself included, have issues with estrogen dominance, so DIM is good to include because it helps your body metabolize excess estrogen. I do like that it also contains the Dong Quai to balance that out somewhat though. I would recommend looking into these active ingredients for your own specific problems, however, because they might not be for everyone. If you are estrogen dominant but still have low levels of both hormones, for example, maybe that estrogen doesn't actually need to be metabolized faster. But I like that the label is pretty transparent with amounts of everything and active ingredients. I took the full dosage for a month, and haven't seen any changes or improvements in my usual symptoms. I still had my acne, some breast tenderness, mood swings, depressive episodes, etc. My cycle was closer to the ideal length of 28-30 days, but it's not super regular anyway so it could have been random. As for my period, cramps may have been lighter but they were also lighter last period before I took this, so that’s also hard to tell. My mood swings were as bad as ever if not worse, and with everything else there was no noticeable difference. Overall, there were no significant improvements. I also had an uneven number of gummies, I think, but I’m not sure if there was one extra or one missing. Not a great sign for quality control though. The flavor is too sweet in my opinion and doesn't really taste like strawberry, but it's not terrible. I think they could easily afford to cut down the sugar though. And I'm not a fan of the sugar and corn syrup, but yeah... Using lower-calorie or less processed alternatives (allulose, monk fruit extract, coconut sugar, erythritol, etc.) could be a good idea. If it were me though, I'd just cut it down and not add anything, or add more sour so it tastes more like fruit and less like bland sweetness. I also watch my added sugar intake in general so I probably wouldn't want very much extra sugar in a daily supplement. The texture is a little grainy. It's a very soft gummy as well, not as gelatinous as some. I usually take these on an empty stomach and haven't had much nausea or anything yet, but it does leave a bit of an unpleasant/slightly bitter taste in my mouth, so I recommend taking them with a meal. 
 The price is pretty expensive for a one-month supply since you could probably get the same ingredients elsewhere for cheaper, but it might depend on what type of product works best for you. And some people don't do as well with capsules as they do with gummies. These are also pretty naturally made, with natural colors and flavors that are also vegan. Personally I wouldn't pay this much for something that was ineffective for me, but others may find that it helps. Every person's body might react a bit differently. I’m going to look elsewhere for PMS solutions though. The customer service is nice if you leave five stars, otherwise you can get paid to increase the rating, or more to delete your review, or you get offered more products. Misleading, in my opinion, and a dishonest way to get high ratings. They also do not give you the price of shipping back with their re.bates, which is sad because the shipping was expensive. I only updated this review because five star reviews are the ones read most often, and I want everyone to see this before they buy or trust the brand.
