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.
As for the practical bits, it comes in a practical pump pack to dispense a fairly accurate dose each time (although it's not translucent, so you have to go by weight to judge how full the pack still is). Depending on how often you use it (it can be a good idea to start with a little halfway through your cycle, moving up to 2 pumps twice a day in the week before your period), it can last between 2 and 3 months.
The downside? Well, it is a bit niffy (although the smell dissipates after a while).
