A4 Cycle 100 capsules

What it does

Overview

Days 1-5 are part of the follicular phase of your menstrual cycle. This is the time after menses when the uterine sheds and the ovary begins to ripen more eggs.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menstruation is considered the end of the Yang cycle and the birth of the Yin cycle.

Sometimes a woman can experience obstructions to the menstrual flow which can cause fertility issues.

In TCM, obstructions to the menstrual flow is believed to be caused by a Kidney and Spleen Qi deficiency.   A4 Cycle rectifies this deficiency. 

What it is best for:

A4 Cycle is a combination of Chinese herbs that supports a fertile environmnent by balancing menstrual cycles and maintaining normal ovulation.

A4 Cycle is used for days 1-5 in a woman's menstrual cycle when the uterine lining is shed and the ovary begins to ripen more eggs.

A4 Cycle combines a variety of herbs that promote the growth of Yin, especially Kidney Yin, which is an important part of the reproductive system. 

Why it works:

Menstruation lasts about 5 days from beginning on day one of your menstrual cycle, which is the first day of your period, until the follicular phase.  During menstruation, the uterine lining is shed when there is no fertilized egg to start a pregnancy. During this time the ovary begins to ripen more eggs and prepare the body for pregnancy once again.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), when you bleed, you are most deficient and vulnerable.  It is extremely important to nourish the blood not only while you are bleeding but also immediately when the growth of Yin takes place.  Body energy needs to move freely for this to happen. When energy does not move freely, stagnation occurs. Since the energy of the kidney system is particularly important to reproduction.
