Your Top Questions About Flourish—Answered!
When it comes to supplements, we know how confusing it can get—especially when you're already juggling different vitamins, routines, or birth control. So let’s clear the air and get straight into your most asked questions about Flourish!
Q: Can I take Flourish with a magnesium supplement, or should I stop taking magnesium?
Short answer: You’re probably good to go with just Flourish!
Our capsules already include 200mg of magnesium, which is the most common and well-studied dose for easing PMS symptoms. So instead of juggling extra pills, you get a simplified stack that works. That means fewer bottles on your shelf and fewer things to remember. 🙌
Q: Is Flourish helpful if I’m on hormonal birth control?
This one’s a biggie—and the answer is no, you actually don’t need it.
Why? Because the primary ingredient in Flourish is Vitex agnus, and it’s been shown to support PMS symptoms only if you’re ovulating. If hormonal birth control is preventing ovulation, you likely won’t get the benefit you're hoping for.
Q: What about perimenopause? Will Flourish help with those symptoms?
It depends on where you’re at in the journey.
If you’re in late perimenopause and experiencing missed periods, or if you're using hormone therapies, then Flourish isn’t the right fit.
Q: Why do you recommend taking it for 90 days? Will I see no results until then?
The research all supports taking Flourish for at least 3 months, since that is the timeframe that all of the studies have been based around. Although, a lot of people noticed changes just after 1 month, while taking it. BONUS, you get a discount when you buy a 90 day supply.
Q: Do I take it every day? Is it best in the morning or evening?
It’s best to take it in the morning, everyday. Consistency is key with this product– add it to your morning breakfast routine so you never forget.
Q: Is it good for promoting a period after a BB Prep?
Probably not the case here.
When you’re competing in bodybuilding, you’re underweight and in a caloric deficit– so you typically lose your cycle all together. Once you’re done prep it can take a while for your hormones to catch up while getting back into a caloric surplus.
That being said, getting back to your maintenance caloric intake and getting your hormones back on track is the key factor to your cycle returning so that you ovulate. Once that happens, then you could consider taking flourish to help support any PMS symptoms you may be experiencing.
The TLDR
Here’s a quick wrap-up:
❌ Don’t take Flourish if you’re:
• On hormonal birth control
• In late perimenopause with skipped periods
• Using hormone therapies
✅ Consider it if you’re:
• Still ovulating
• Dealing with PMS symptoms like bloating, mood swings, or cravings
