Q: What age range is the OVA menstrual hormone-free supplement for? A: We recommend the menstrual health product for women 18+ who menstruate regularly and who are not taking hormonal birth control. Once symptoms of perimenopause start, typically around age 45, switch to the menopause product. Q: Can I take the OVA menstrual hormone-free supplement if my cycle doesn’t line up with a four-week cycle? A: Yes, we know that not all women experience a regular four-week cycle length, and every woman is unique. The menstrual health product is formulated to be used by women with varying cycle lengths and you can customize your regimen as needed. The doses provided will support most women, most cycles. Anything beyond a 32-day cycle should be discussed with a doctor. If it is determined peri menopause plays a role in increased cycle length, we recommend the menopause formula. If peri menopause is ruled out, we recommend waiting until your next period begins to start the menstrual health product, beginning with formula #1. Q: Can I take the OVA menstrual hormone-free supplement if I use hormonal birth control like an IUD? A: T he menstrual health product is recommended for menstruating women ages 18+ not using hormonal birth control. Its ingredients are generally considered to be safe for women taking birth control to use. However, hormonal birth control users may not experience as many noticeable benefits because hormonal birth control typically prevents ovulation and helps maintain more consistent hormone levels week to week. For women using hormonal birth control who don’t get a period but want to take the product, we suggest starting with Formula 3 when you feel symptoms of PMS. From there you can move to Formula 1 and then Formula 2. For best results, try to align your pills with a 28-day cycle. Consult your doctor before starting any supplement regimen. Q: What is considered hormonal birth control? A: Any birth control that consistently administers hormones is considered hormonal birth control. This could include birth control pills or mini-pills, IUDs with hormones, a birth control shot, patch, implant, pellet or ring. Copper IUDs, condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, spermicides/vaginal gels and sponges are not hormonal birth control. Q: What are soy isoflavones? A: Soy isoflavones are a specific category of phytoestrogens — plant-based compounds — that have the ability to produce a strong estrogenic effect in the body that may directly influence hormone response. Many women’s health supplements use soy isoflavones because they can mimic estrogen hormones. Not all phytoestrogens produce this effect to this degree. 4
