What makes PolyFem different from a general women’s health supplement?

What herbs are in PolyFem?

Each tablet contains extracts of Paeonia root, Licorice root, Black Cohosh root and Thuja leaf. These herbs are used together in a practitioner-style formula for menstrual health support.

Does PolyFem contain Black Cohosh?

Yes. PolyFem contains Black Cohosh root extract. Black Cohosh is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine as an emmenagogue to promote menstrual flow and help relieve menstrual cramps and spasms.

Does PolyFem contain Licorice?

Yes. PolyFem contains Licorice root extract, standardised to glycyrrhizinic acid. Licorice is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to help relieve inflammation, but it is not suitable for everyone and has important cautions.

Due to the Licorice content, PolyFem is contraindicated in people with hypertension or oedema, and in those taking thiazide or loop diuretics. Caution is also advised for people with elevated liver enzymes taking immunosuppressive medicines, and for people taking statin drugs.

Is PolyFem vegan or allergen-friendly?
