We still recommend starting Essentials by Womankind on the first day of your period, even if your cycle doesn’t follow a 28 day cadence. Take all 7 days of the menstruation phase  even if your period is shorter or longer than 7 days (we want these first days to be specifically supported, so be sure to finish these), and move onto the Follicular Phase on Day 8 and until day 14.  Then on day 15 move into the follicular phase and continue to take these until the first day of your next period. Whether your cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days, make sure to start your next pack on the first day of your next period. If your cycles are considered irregular, our formulation*, might help to maintain your hormonal balance, mood, regular menstrual cycles, and promote healthy ovulation and ovarian function. We always recommend you speak with your doctor about any specific concerns.

If your cycles are extremely irregular or you're not currently getting a period at all, we recommend checking in with your physician to determine if there's an underlying imbalance or condition at play

Yes, there are no specific concerns about taking this with hormonal birth control. We always recommend speaking with your doctor about any specific concerns however!

If you skip a day or loose track of what phase you are currenlty in, no stress!. Just continue the protocol with the phase that you think you are in and start again when you get your period with the menstrual phase multi.

To avoid confusion we strongly recommend that you use a cycle tracker, either in paper or an app.

No - Womankind is not safe for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Spotting before or after your period and around ovulation is pretty common. However, if you're seeing blood consistently throughout your entire cycle, it's wise to schedule a visit with your doctor to understand what’s happening. They can help ensure everything’s okay and address any concerns you might have!

It's designed for women 18-50 who have a menstrual cycle regardless of the length of their cycle.  We suggest checking in with a physician first to be sure your needs are covered.

We complete third-party testing on all of our ingredients to confirm purity and potency. Our product is made in an FDA Registered and Inspected Facility, which meet FDA 21 CFR 111 guidelines and are also cGMP Certified. All raw materials for are tested directly prior to production to ensure their purity and quality.

We are the first all-in-one essential health supplement that includes adaptogens, nootropics, and medicinal plants and that syncs with women’s menstrual cycles.  Our formulas are created by health professionals. Most vitamin brands use a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition that fails to deliver nutrients targeted for each unique phase of a woman's menstrual cycle. 

We created a daily protocol that includes not only your daily multivitamin that other brands provide, but also specific ingredients targeted for every phase of your cycle.

We do not recommend taking another multivitamin while taking Essentials by Womankind. Depending on what other supplements you currently take, the nutrients may already be contained in our formulas, and we do not advise exceeding their recommended daily amount. If you have any additional concerns, we recommend consulting your healthcare practitioner.

We recommend taking them with breakfast or lunch, plus plenty of water (at least 8 oz). It is best not to take Essentials at night as the B vitamins promote mental clarity, focus, and energy which is typically best utilized earlier in the day.

Some people might feel its effects quickly, within about 30 minutes, while for others, it could take a few weeks to notice a difference. Particularly for many women, it often takes up to 90 days to fully experience the supplement's benefits. This period allows the body to adapt and respond to the supplement's ingredients effectively. To get the best results, it’s essential to take the supplement consistently, and a daily reminder or alarm can be a great help in maintaining this routine. Interestingly, many of our customers don’t realize just how beneficial the supplement has been until they pause or stop using it. Remember, every individual is different, and combining the supplement with a healthy lifestyle is key to maximizing well-being. And, as always, consulting a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement is a wise step.

Yes, they are vegan-friendly!

We use both plant-based and synthesized vegan nutrients in our products. While not all of our ingredients are certified organic, all of our products are non-GMO. Ingredients extracted from natural sources can be exposed to unwanted compounds from the environment, and when that type of exposure is a concern, we use a synthesized version of a supplement.

Your period can vary slightly from month to month and that is accounted for in our formulas as we added extra capsules every month. But if you’re skipping periods or noticing major changes in your cycle length—ie going from a 28-day cycle to a 21-day cycle to a 35-day cycle—you’ll want to check in with your physician to rule out any underlying issues that are impacting your hormone levels.

Painful PMS doesn’t have to be your norm! Intense pain, known as Dysmenorrhea, might point to hormonal imbalances or conditions like endometriosis, signaling it's time to seek help. Similarly, if your flow is exceptionally heavy (think soaking through a tampon or filling a menstrual cup every hour), you might have Menorrhagia. This isn't just inconvenient—it could be a sign of hormonal issues or uterine problems. In either case, it’s a good idea to chat with a doctor to figure out what’s going on and explore your treatment options. Your period shouldn't get in the way of living your best life!

Our formulations work best when taken regularly. Some women notice results right away, while others take a bit longer. Your results are unique to you.
