Higher Nature Higher Nature Ginger Extract

Advantages: The best PMS Killer I have ever come aross
Disadvantages: It's a bit niffy for a while

...Higher Nature do two Mexican Yam products: the capsules and the cream. Believe it or not, the cream is generally considered the better product for most people to use. I'm not exactly fond of the term 'bioavailability', but in a comparison between capsules and cream for this particular product, It's one I have to use, as the diosgenins from the yam are absorbed better via the skin than via the digestive system. From my own experience, I'd say the cream is the best PMS killer I've ever known - and as I'm in my late 30s, you can guess I've tried more than a few in my time. The effects are almost immediate (believe me, it calms me down within minutes - even before the smell of the cream has dissipated!) and last for hours.

...Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is a remarkably versatile product. It is marketed in the UK by Higher Nature Ltd under the trade name 'Citricidal'. GSE has been used for at least 25 years and is well researched. It is endorsed by the World Health Authority. It is naturally antibiotic, anti-fungal and antiseptic, non-toxic and no known side effects (even for those with citrus allergies, although a patch test is recommended). As it is very stable it lasts for years and it is bio-degradable. Also it is very economical as you only need to add a few drops to your liquid of choice (more on that in a moment). It can be used long term and is safe for both infants and the elderly to take. Trial and error over the years I have been using GSE have allowed me to discover that the best disguise is tea, I also find grapefruit, orange... Read review
