Possible PMS Cure

I just wanted to share.

I started to take this powdered supplement from Twin Labs, called "Choline Cocktail" Its been around forever, not heavily advertised, found out about it in a sports nutrition optimization book.

There was a chapter on the "mind body " connection, and brain foods to eat for peak performance, and this was suggested, along with the tried and true, fish, B vitamin, protein, etc..

Well anyway, long story short, I took this "cocktail" which is really just a super powder drink with Choline, Vitamin C, Co Q10, all the B vitamins, Folic Acid, DMAE, Gingko, L-Carnitine, Guaran Seed, and this was the first month, during PMS, that I did NOT have PMS!! No headaches, no brain fog, no knock me out of the box, tiredness, depression. (It did not help with the moodiness though, so I was still pretty bitchy)

For anyone wanting to try a new cure, try this cocktail, (but do not go to GNC as their prices are double, shoudl only cost about $14)

This helps. This will help keep the craving demons at pay, and when your time of the month is over, hopefully, it will thwart that craving weight gain. (I usually gain upto 10 pounds during my cycle, horrifying)

Interesting...I had to look up a few of those ingredients and am still a little confused about what and where to get Choline? Also what is DMAE?


I'd be interested in knowing more about the ingredients before looking into taking it...just my opinion though.


Glad it's helping you ~IG

Choline is something you will find in a lot of multi - vitamins. Before I read this, I was surprised to learn that it was sold by itself.
