And it hurts like hell! Everyone needs to be talking about periods and have an understanding of what’s actually happening to 50% of the population. After diagnosis, Lauren didn’t want to talk about it at all. She would have ignored the pain forever but her body simply wouldn’t let her. Her husband, a scientist, decided to create supplements to ease her pain. Semaine’s supplements are plant-based, safe, and only need to be taken when they are on their cycle. There is a massive inequity in women’s health across the world. It’s so important to listen to your body and be patient. Semaine was well-received by almost everyone as it served a community of people who suffer from period-related issues.  Transitioning into peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause became a focus as women grew older and needed a different type of support. Semaine Health offers supplements that support women, non-binary and trans folks with PMS and period support, daily hormone balance, menopause essentials, urinary tract support, pre and probiotic for gut health.
