Win Your Way To A Healthy, Happy Period!
When life is busy and you’re on the go, the arrival of a period can halt everything. The people at PeriodPlan, say that life shouldn’t stop because your period starts, and know it is a time when hormones need some help to keep PMS symptoms at bay. The body is impacted by hormones every day, but when taken consistently PeriodPlan supports mind, skin and energy levels supporting people with periods through every day of their cycle.
Let’s take skin for example. 69% of the trial[1] participants said it helped to reduce skin breakouts, good news for young women who want to gain their confidence back and have healthy skin. Backed by published research, it also helps your mind, skin, energy, and hormones throughout your monthly menstrual cycle- in other words, it helps you to feel like you and be your true self, despite your period.
PeriodPlan has been scientifically formulated with a fantastic combination of Omega 3 krill oil, B vitamins and vitamin D3 so just two capsules each day provide extra nutritional support for your period, day after day. It contains all the key ingredients to support the mind, skin, energy and hormones all month long so you can keep living life to the full every day.
PeriodPlan is available from www.cleanmarineuk.com as well as Boots and Sainsburys and are both £12.99 for 30 capsules or £23.99 for 60 capsules. We have two 60 capsule packs to give away to two very lucky winners.
