Health & PMS Concerns
Coeliacs
Our PMS & Hormone Balance Blend contains no gluten-containing ingredients. However, it is made in a facility that also handles other gluten-containing ingredients.
Calories
The Gigi PMS & Hormone blend contains no calories. If you’d like to learn more about its nutritional details, you can easily find that information by scrolling down the homepage or product page. Just look for the yellow button that says ‘Nutritional Information,’ and all the details will be there!
Medication
When it comes to medication, we always recommend checking in with your pharmacist or GP before introducing any new supplements to your routine – they’ll be able to give you the most personalised and safe advice.
If you do get the all-clear, we always recommend taking the PMS & Hormone Balance Blend at least four hours apart from your medication.
Medical Conditions
We really appreciate your interest in Gigi! However, we always recommend having a chat with your GP or consultant, as they’ll be able to provide the best guidance for your specific needs. While we’re passionate about supporting wellness, we’re not medical professionals and want to ensure you get the most accurate advice.
Underactive Thyroid
The Gigi blend could definitely be a helpful addition to your routine. It contains 15 premium, science-backed ingredients designed to support female hormonal health as a whole. One of the standout ingredients for you is 55 micrograms of selenium, a mineral with powerful antioxidant properties that is known to be very supportive of thyroid health. The blend also includes 14 other nutrients that are supportive of PMS and help with such things as mood stability, energy levels, and overall well-being.
As always, it’s a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure this supplement aligns with your specific health needs.
Contraceptives
Gigi is designed to help support hormone balance and you can absolutely take our blend while on the pill/coil. In fact, Gigi contains B vitamins, zinc and magnesium, which can be depleted by contraceptives over time. These nutrients are great for supporting your energy levels, mood and overall well-being!
Coming off Contraceptives
Gigi contains B vitamins, zinc and magnesium, which can be depleted by the pill over time, so it’s actually perfect to take when coming off the pill. By supporting your body with these essential nutrients, it can help make the transition a little easier and support your hormone balance as you adjust.
We often recommend starting to take Gigi a month or two before coming off the pill, as this allows the nutrients to build up in your system, so you're well-supported when you begin the transition.
Acne
Our Gigi blend is packed with nutrients specifically designed to help with skin issues like acne. For example, zinc has anti-androgenic properties, which can help lower high testosterone levels (a common cause of acne). Zinc is also fantastic for cystic acne, as it helps regulate sebum production and has anti-inflammatory effects. Plus, we’ve added Vitamin C and E, which are powerful antioxidants that not only support skin health but also encourage collagen production for a healthier, more glowing complexion.
In terms of skin health, we always recommend giving it a full 3 months to see the best results, as it takes time for the nutrients to build up and make an impact.
Rosacea
Our blend contains a range of nutrients that many women find fantastic for supporting hormonal acne breakouts. However, since rosacea is an inflammatory condition, research suggests that adding a Probiotic and Omega-3 Fish Oil can be particularly beneficial. Both of these supplements are completely safe to take alongside the Gigi blend.
Facial Hair
We completely understand how challenging facial hair can be, especially if it’s something you’ve been managing for a while.
When it comes to facial hair, it’s really important to address the root cause – for example, PCOS – and focus on long-term management. Gigi is designed to support overall hormone balance and health, but it doesn’t contain any ingredients that directly target hair growth.
That said, if PCOS is the underlying cause, our blend does include zinc, which has anti-androgenic properties and may help lower testosterone levels – a key factor in PCOS related hair growth.
Bloating
Gigi can help with symptoms such as bloating. It contains dandelion, a natural and gentle ingredient traditionally used to support fluid balance during the premenstrual phase. It also includes Aquamin, a seaweed-derived mineral complex that acts as a prebiotic fibre to help support gut health, your microbiome and overall digestive health.
Menstrual Migraines
Some of the key nutrients in Gigi's PMS & Hormone Balance Blend like Magnesium have been studied for their role in supporting nervous system health and reducing muscle tension, which can be helpful in managing migraines.
Heavy Periods/Bleeding
We’ve had feedback from customers who’ve found the Gigi blend helpful in supporting heavy periods. While the blend is designed to support overall hormonal health, many women have reported positive results with balancing their cycles and reducing some of the heaviness. However, it’s important to understand the underlying cause of your heavy periods. If you haven’t already, it might be a good idea to speak with your GP and get some blood work done to rule out any underlying conditions.
Additionally, it could be helpful to have your iron levels checked as well, as heavy periods can sometimes lead to iron deficiencies, which may contribute to fatigue and other symptoms.
Cycle Regularity
Gigi contains Inositol, which is known to promote regular ovulation, in turn supporting cycle regularity. The blend includes 2g of Inositol per serving, alongside other carefully chosen ingredients to support hormonal balance and reproductive health.
Constipation
The blend doesn't directly target constipation. However, we do have an ingredient called Aquamin which is a seaweed derived mineral complex that provides us with Calcium, Magnesium & 72 other trace minerals. Aquamin acts as a prebiotic fibre supporting the gut microbiome and digestive health!
