NOW® Female Balance™ is a unique herbal support formula for women.* We have combined herbal ingredients wild yam, vitex, dong quai, ginger and black cohosh with nutritional support from vitamin B-6 and folate to promote a healthy feminine balance.*What is Female Balance formulated for?Female Balance is an herbal blend with vitamin B-6 and folate that’s specifically formulated to support well-being before the beginning of a normal menstrual cycle.* Because this supplement is designed to be taken before the onset of menstrual symptoms, we do not recommend taking it during menstruation.*Female Balance contains wild yam, which I have heard is an herbal-contraceptiv. Is this true?No. Female Balance nutritionally supports healthy female balance before the onset of menstruation, but has no-contraceptiv effects.* Components of wild yam can only be converted to-contraceptivs in a laboratory, but not in the human body.The safety of wild yam during pregnancy and breast feeding has not been established.Are there other herbal supplements that provide nutritional support for women?Herbs have a long history of use when it comes to women’s health.
