ethyos - Cycles Menstruels Inconfort
Cycle-focused botanical and nutrient blend
This formula is designed to support women’s monthly cycle comfort and overall wellbeing. It combines standardized botanical extracts with selected vitamins in a simple capsule format. The emphasis is on routine support rather than acute effects. The ingredient choices align with common approaches used in menstrual-health supplements.
Primary focus: menstrual routine support
Angelica sinensis root extract (standardized to ligustilide) and Vitex agnus-castus fruit extract (standardized to vitexin) form the core of the cycle-oriented profile. These botanicals are frequently used in women’s health formulations that aim to support normal cycle patterns. The blend is intended for consistent use as part of a monthly routine. Individual responses can vary based on lifestyle and baseline status.
Secondary focus: supporting hormonal rhythm
Vitex agnus-castus is included as a key botanical often used in products positioned around hormonal rhythm and cycle regularity. Angelica sinensis complements this approach by adding a second standardized extract commonly paired in women’s formulas. Vitamin D3 is included in a measured amount to contribute to general nutritional status. Vitamin E adds additional micronutrient support within the blend.
Mood, stress, and relaxation support
Melissa officinalis leaf extract is standardized to rosmarinic acid, a well-known plant polyphenol used in calm-focused products. Passiflora incarnata extract is standardized to flavonoids and is commonly used in relaxation-oriented routines. Together, these botanicals support a calmer daily rhythm, which can be relevant when monthly changes affect perceived stress. This aspect of the formula is supportive and complementary to the cycle focus.
Antioxidant-oriented ingredients
Vitamin E (as DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) contributes antioxidant nutrient support. Botanical polyphenols from Melissa and flavonoids from Passiflora add further plant-based antioxidant constituents. These ingredients are included to support general cellular protection in the context of everyday wellness. This is not positioned as a standalone antioxidant product.
How the ingredients work together
The formula combines standardized extracts for consistency with a small set of vitamins for broader nutritional coverage. The cycle-focused botanicals (Vitex and Angelica) are paired with calming botanicals (Melissa and Passiflora) to support both physical comfort and day-to-day balance. Vitamins B1, D3, and E complement the botanical base without making the product a high-dose multivitamin. The overall design supports steady, routine use alongside healthy lifestyle habits.

Menstrual Health
Designed for women looking for botanical support around the menstrual cycle, with a focus on day-to-day comfort and routine balance. Vitex agnus-castus extract and Angelica sinensis extract are commonly used in cycle-focused formulas, while Melissa officinalis and Passiflora incarnata add gentle plant support. Vitamin B1, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin E complement the blend for broader nutritional coverage during the month.
Hormonal Balance
Suitable for those who want to support normal hormonal rhythm as part of a consistent wellness routine. Vitex agnus-castus (standardized to vitexin) is included as a key botanical traditionally used in women’s cycle formulas, alongside Angelica sinensis. Vitamin D3 and Vitamin E provide additional nutritional support often included in women’s health stacks.
Mood & Stress
Can be used during times of perceived emotional tension or irritability, especially when these feelings fluctuate across the month. Melissa officinalis (rosmarinic-acid standardized) and Passiflora incarnata (flavonoid standardized) are included to support a calm, balanced routine. Magnesium is not provided as an active here, but the calming botanical profile is central to this supporting use.
Relaxation
Helpful as an evening-friendly addition to a wind-down routine when you want gentle botanical support. Passiflora incarnata and Melissa officinalis are commonly used in relaxation-oriented blends and may pair well with quiet-time habits. This benefit is intended as general wellbeing support rather than a targeted outcome.
Antioxidant Support
Provides light antioxidant-oriented support through Vitamin E and polyphenol-containing botanicals. Melissa officinalis contributes rosmarinic acid and Passiflora provides flavonoids, which are often included for general oxidative balance. This is a peripheral benefit compared with the cycle-focused intent of the formula.
