Cinnamon might already be a staple in your spice cabinet, but this digestive and immune powerhouse deserves prime real estate in your herbalism toolkit, too.*
A professional-strength herbal blend that supports healthy insulin sensitivity, optimal ovulation, and aids metabolic health.*
INSIDE THE FORMULA
Cinnamon and Ginger were studied in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in the context of women’s hormone and metabolic health. Both herbs were shown to have individual supportive effects on key female hormones (FSH, LH, insulin, testosterone) involved in achieving optimal reproductive and metabolic balance. L-Carnitine, on the other hand, is an amino acid that helps to protect and activate mitochondrial health in order to assist with a healthy inflammatory response, metabolic activation and energy levels.*
Cinnamon might already be a staple in your spice cabinet, but this digestive and immune powerhouse deserves prime real estate in your herbalism toolkit, too.*
Known as a universal herbal ally in TCM, Ginger is able to assist our “digestive fire,” immune health, and even maintain a healthy inflammatory response. Considered a “guiding herb” in formulas, ginger “warms the body and spirit” as it boosts Spleen Qi and supports vitality.*
ALL ABOUT
The Formula

Metabolic health = happy hormones
While these common kitchen herbs may seem unsuspe…
While these common kitchen herbs may seem unsuspecting, when concentrated in the right therapeutic doses, they’re able to help our hormones and metabolic health on a core level by aiding insulin signaling and encouraging a healthy inflammatory response in the face of oxidative stress.
Cinnamon has been shown to support normal carbohydrate metabolism, so that the food we eat is properly converted to fuel we can use for healthy energy levels, exercise, healthy mood and more. When carbohydrate metabolism is less than optimal, testosterone levels may be affected, which may play a role in irregular cycles.
Cinnamon has further been found to support optimal testosterone levels in irregular cycles by helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels and metabolic signaling on a cellular level, leading to happy hormones and renewed energy. Ginger contains bioactive compounds such as gingerols that possess antioxidant properties, which help maintain a healthy inflammatory response, protect our mitochondria, and aid balanced hormones via the gut-hormone axis.*

L-Carnitine super-charges this formula to activate your metabolic spark by helping to convert fatty acids to energy within the mitochondria, making metabolic fuel available to burn. This powerful amino acid has been shown to help maintain normal levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, as well as promote appetite balance, even in the context of hormone concerns. As L-Carnitine helps us utilize our fuel, this formula adds an extra layer of support for those embarking on an exercise regimen and lifestyle change. As a potent mitochondrial helper and antioxidant, L-Carnitine further supports reproductive health in women by supporting energy metabolism within ovarian follicles to maintain healthy ovulation.*

The story behind the formula
While working as a clinical herbalist during my schooling, I noticed I was drawn to helping clients with a specific pattern of cycle irregularity that was driven by metabolic function and stress, and sorely affected their quality of life. These women mirrored the pattern I was seeing and experiencing in my own body (as I was battling insulin signaling issues that affected my hormones, mood and more) and I felt deeply connected to their stories.
As I shared what I was learning from working with these clients with my online community, I realized there were thousands of women struggling, as ‘cysters’ around the world were looking for support.
After spending years thoroughly understanding the root cause factors within this pattern of imbalance (insulin signaling and glucose regulation, specific nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial function and oxidative stress), I began to see firsthand that with the right lifestyle changes, nutrition, herbs and nutraceuticals, a true difference could be made in the lives of thousands of women struggling with their cycles.
We got busy designing a super-kit that could address both the hormonal and metabolic aspects of this picture. This comprehensive duo feels like the culmination of my clinical work, personal journey, and everything I’ve learned over the years by listening to the stories of women working hard to bring their bodies back into balance.*
