There’s nothing worse than having to completely stop your life when PMS symptoms get in the way. The cramps, bloating, acne, and the moodiness—it can all feel paralyzing. And can we talk about how insanely unfair it is that we have to deal with this every month? I got to a point where I wasn’t the only one who could tell that my period was coming because my symptoms were that bad. I was tired of it, so I started looking for ways to find relief.
I was skeptical that vitamins could relieve PMS symptoms, but I decided to give HUM and FLO a try. I tested each vitamin independently for a month and was surprised by the results:
If you struggle with hormonal acne and bloating… HUM
When I'm on my period, I break out or bloat SO much to the point that I end up just hiding at home for a week each month. It’s uncomfortable, painful, and down right annoying. To my surprise, after taking HUM’s SOS PMS GUMMIES for 3 weeks (including my period), I started to notice a significant decrease in bloating and my skin started to clear up. I no longer have to live in my stretchy sweatpants and cake on makeup to hide my visible PMS symptoms. What’s better than that?
While FLO helped with my bloating a little bit, the results not compare and my stubborn acne did not improve.
If you need to regulate mood swings… HUM
I don’t know about you but my mood swings are serious business when I’m on my period. Crying at random TV commercials? That’s me. Second guessing all life choices? That's me too. They turn my life upside down during that time of the month, so managing them is super important to me. That’s why I love HUM’s SOS PMS GUMMIES. I feel calmer, more at-ease with life, and more like myself. Trust me when I say my friends and family have noticed the difference, too.
If you want more bang for your buck… HUM
Both FLO and HUM are budget-friendly options, but HUM is the clear winner here. With each brand, you have the options to buy once or subscribe to save. Each shipment includes 60 vitamins, which is a 30-day supply, but you can get HUM for around $18 which is about $10 cheaper than FLO.
If you prefer a capsule over a gummy… Either Or
Personally, I love a good gummy. It’s yummy and feels like a treat, which makes taking them so much easier to remember. If that’s not your thing, though, both HUM and Flo have a capsule option giving you more choices in how you manage your PMS.
If you value clean, high quality ingredients… HUM
HUM gummies and all of their products are certified by the Clean Label Project - meaning they're independently tested for hundreds of chemical and environmental contaminants. This is a huge plus to ensure quality.
Even better? HUM gummies were formulated by RD nutritionists, so you can trust that it's going to be good for your body. Plus, it tastes delicious! Sweet, but not too sweet with no artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives.
My personal pick… HUM
Overall, both of these brands are good options for managing your PMS, but HUM made me feel my best from the inside out. I know it’s easy to be skeptical about health-related products, but I can tell you this: If you’re struggling with life-disrupting PMS like I was, HUM is definitely worth trying for yourself!
