Heavier Flow
Managing the 'Super' days with science and comfort.
The Biology Behind It
Heavier periods can be caused by higher levels of estrogen relative to progesterone (estrogen dominance), which causes the uterine lining to grow thicker. When it sheds, the volume of blood and tissue is significantly higher.
Natural Solutions
Foods rich in Iron (like lentils or grass-fed beef) are essential to replace what's lost via heavy bleeding.
Vitamin C increases iron absorption—pair your iron-rich meals with citrus or bell peppers.
Nettle tea is a traditional remedy that can help slow excessive bleeding and provide trace minerals.
