Junk food binges, slamming doors, recluse mode in baggy hoodies, and of course the eye-rolling. Ah, the teenage years.

These “episodes” seem to come with the territory of raising a teen. But when bloating, extreme mood swings, painful periods, and excessive fatigue plague them each month, it makes the teen years a little– okay, A LOT– tougher on everyone.

As a parent you may feel helpless when they miss school because of heavy flow and cramps. Your hands are tied as they stress about bloating and acne. All you can offer is a heating pad, a chocolate bar, and one more pain reliever– which never feels like enough.

So you schedule an appointment at the OBGYN and she tells your teen the cramping, bloating, and heavy flow is all normal.

(Sidenote– it’s not normal. **It’s just common. 80-90% of teenage girls and women experience uncomfortable PMS symptoms.)

As expected, the doc then sends your teen on her way with a new script for birth control in hand. Leaving you with the gut feeling this is just a bandaid for what’s really going on.

Spoiler alert parents– you’re right.

Birth Control– Not The “Cure-All” For Our Teens We Were Hoping For…

Did you know 83.7% of teens are on some form of birth control?

The Guttmacher Institute estimated from this survey that 1.5 million women and teens in the U.S. are using oral contraception for noncontraceptive purposes (Acne, pelvic pain, heavy flow, irregular cycles, mood swings, etc.) giving birth control the “Cure-All” effect.

“The reliance on birth control pills for noncontraceptive reasons is highest among pill users who are teenagers. In fact, teens are more likely to report using the pill for noncontraceptive purposes than for birth control.”

But did you know, there isn’t a single drop of natural hormones in any birth control methods? (Not one.)

When your teen takes birth control, they are pushing synthetic hormones into their bodies and disrupting their natural cycles.

It’s like substituting soda for water: It may go down the same, but it won’t deliver the same results or benefits when you’re running a 5K.

Keep in mind that whether your teen is trying to clear up acne, decrease cramps, or tame their raging mood swings**– birth control only addresses the symptoms– NOT resolves them.**

Parents– If you’ve looking to give your teen an alternative to PMS relief without using standard birth control– you’re in the right place. (Because we agree– fake hormones are brutal on our bodies.)

It’s Not Just PMS– It’s Inflammation.

Have you ever noticed your teen starting to feel sick or run down before their cycle starts?

Some call this the “Period Flu”.

This is because painful PMS symptoms are actually linked to inflammation within the body.

And the more inflammation your teen has in their body when it’s time for their cycle to return, the worse their PMS symptoms will be.

Inflammation could stem from food intolerances and unhealthy diets, stress, illnesses, hormone imbalances, or when an egg doesn’t fertilize during ovulation.

To reduce inflammation naturally have your teen try: cutting down on sugar, getting more rest, exercise, and start using PMS & Period Support– an all-natural and safe solution to improve PMS without the added fake hormones!

Is Your Teen’s Body Trying to Tell You Something?

Our teens may not want to chat up a storm with us like they did at age 5. But luckily, their bodies are able to openly communicate deeper issues, if you know what to look for.

If your teen is struggling with acne, it could be their colon, their lymphatic system, or their liver needs a detox. If their hormones are off their bodies could be trying to tell them they are too stressed. (Not uncommon for our teens.)

Too much stress on the body can tire out adrenals and thyroid– leading to a plethora of hormonal imbalances.

Birth control will only put a band-aid over symptoms and mask the real problem, risking other health problems in the future.

My Teen Just Wants to Feel ‘Normal’ During Her Cycle…

What’s ‘normal’ for a teen anyway?

From experience, some often resemble a bear in hibernation crossed with a night-owl on a sugar high.

No matter what normal looks like for your teen, we can all agree we want them thriving physically, mentally, and emotionally. And NOT miserable during their cycles each month. (Once again, common but NOT normal.)

SEMAINE strongly believes in getting back to living your best life in the most natural AND easy way possible! Luckily, birth control isn’t the only road to get there.

Can My Teen Feel Their Best During Their Cycle Without Birth Control – Naturally?

DEFINITELY!

Sure, sometimes birth control is necessary– like for instance– to prevent pregnancy…

But if you’re teen isn’t sexually active or uses other forms of protection, there is finally a truly all-natural way to get them back to their best selves by reducing inflammation without the added hormones!

SEMAINE is an all-natural hormone-free supplement brand designed with your nitty-gritty hormone problems in mind. (Sister established. Body and PMS approved.)

Sisters, Lauren and Catherine, both suffered from endometriosis in their early teen years. (OUCH!) They quickly learned that women’s health and PMS pain were not being taken seriously.

“Our doctors thought we were being dramatic about our PMS symptoms… but needing to take so much Ibuprofen that your stomach is permanently weakened is not dramatic. It’s problematic.”- Lauren

Lauren, their CEO, grew up taking huge doses of OTC pain relievers every month to manage her periods. Years upon years of pain relievers have permanently hurt her stomach and now she can’t take even a single ibuprofen.

SEMAINE uses only plant-based ingredients gentle enough to not upset even the most sensitive stomachs, while powerful enough to completely transform periods. (Teenage Lauren wishes she could have saved her stomach decades of abuse. And wants to give this generation the option too!)

Fed up with the run-of-the-mill treatment options, the sister powerhouse set out to find a truly natural way to treat and relieve PMS symptoms giving women and teens everywhere their lives back– every day of the month!

That’s when PMS & Period Support strutted onto the scene!

This all-natural, inflammation butt-kicking, take-as-you-need supplement is designed to give teens and women their best periods yet!

With the help from Lauren’s husband Matt– the smart scientist guy with a cool mustache– the trio were able to offer a safe and science-backed solution addressing the root problem vs sticking a bandaid on it.

The science in a nutshell?

When inflammation is eliminated a whole plethora of PMS symptoms falls away with it. (Bloating, mood swings, fatigue, acne, and even headaches!)

What Makes Semaine’s Ingredients A Safe Choice For My Teen?

We may never know what’s really in that energy drink they downed studying for finals or the massive bag of chips they had for breakfast… but fortunately, the Semaine team are completely transparent about their ingredients.
