Frequently Asked Questions
You should start when you get your next period. Day one of your period is also Day one of your cycle and the beginning of your follicular phase. This is when you can take the first 2 capsules from the Day 1-14 Follicular phase bottle.
If your periods are very irregular, you don’t know when to expect your next period, or you are currently not having periods, then we recommend that you follow a calendar month. You can begin the first bottle (Day 1-14, Follicular phase) on the first of the month and change to the next bottle (Day 15- 28 Luteal phase) on the 15th.
Du hast keinen 28-tägigen Menstruationszyklus? Keine Sorge, viele Frauen haben das nicht!
Die durchschnittliche Länge eines Menstruationszyklus beträgt 28 Tage. Ein Zyklus kann aber auch zwischen 21 und 35 Tagen lang sein und trotzdem normal sein. Wenn dein Zyklus kürzer oder länger als der durchschnittliche 28-Tage-Zyklus ist, sind auch deine Follikel- und Lutealphasen kürzer oder länger. Um die Länge deiner Follikel- und Lutealphase zu ermitteln, teilst du deinen Zyklus einfach durch zwei. Wenn dein Zyklus z. B. durchschnittlich 30 Tage dauert, nimmst du die Follikelphase von Tag 1 bis Tag 15 und die Lutealphase von Tag 16 bis 30. Um genau zu wissen, wann deine Lutealphase beginnt, musst du deinen Eisprung messen. Die Lutealphase beginnt mit dem Eisprung.
You have irregular or no periods?
If you are going through a phase of not having periods we recommend that for simplicity you follow a cycle based on calendar months ie from the first till the 15th of the month you take Follicular Phase supplements and from 16th till the end of the month you take the Luteal Phase supplements.
If your periods are irregular we recommend you follow a 14 day cycle for each phase of Hormone Help supplements. By staying on track with the 2-week rotation, the process may nudge your body into an optimal menstrual cycle rhythm and help you get back on track.
If you are currently not having periods and are sure that is not because you are pregnant then we recommend that you follow a cycle based on calendar months ie from the first till the 15th of the month you take Follicular Phase supplements and from 16th till the end of the month you take the Luteal Phase supplements. By staying on track with the 2-week rotation, the process may nudge your body into an optimal menstrual cycle rhythm and help you get back on track.
The average cycle length is 28 days so most women have a day or 2 flexibility with 30 capsules. If your cycle is always longer than 30 days and you don’t want to skip any days then we recommend that you buy a second packet of Hormone Help. Jungold Hormone Help supplements are designed to be taken over a longer period of time, it may take a few months to get your hormone balance back on track so you will need extra capsules each cycle. Just be sure to take the correct capsules during the correct phase of your cycle.
The Luteal Phase begins with ovulation, but how do I know if I have ovulated? The only way to know for sure whether or not you have ovulated is to measure ovulation. This can be done using the temperature method ( measuring your temperature every morning to see the rise in temperature which indicates ovulation has occurred) or by using Ovulation Predictor Kits ( sticks that you pee on to measure hormones in your urine which indicate that the process of ovulation has begun). Observing changes in Cervical Mucus are also a good indicator of ovulation.You can also watch out for other less reliable physical signs which may indicate ovulation. These include Mittelschmerz (a tightening or lower abdominal pain at ovulation) an increased sex drive (due to higher testosterone levels before ovulation), breast tenderness or bloating.

Yes, acne can be caused by hormone balance. Although many people choose to treat hormonal acne by taking the contraceptive pill this is actually treating the symptom rather than the problem. Hormonal acne develops when hormonal changes increase the amount of oil (sebum) your skin produces. This oil interacts with bacteria on the pores of your skin where hair grows (hair follicles) and results in acne. Androgens (a group of sex hormones found in both sexes but at higher levels in men) stimulate the production of sebum and when androgen levels are too high this can cause an over production of sebum and therefore acne.
Women with PCOS are suffering from a form of hormone imbalance. While the exact cause of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unknown, it's thought to be related to abnormal hormone levels. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common condition that affects how a woman's ovaries work. In women with PCOS the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are usually present in women in smaller amounts. There’s currently no cure for PCOS, but various treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage its symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. These may include medications to regulate hormones, lifestyle changes like diet and exercise and fertility treatments for those trying to conceive. Trying to lower androgen levels and balance the production of oestrogen and progesterone is the goal when treating PCOS.
To achieve hormone balance you need to take a holistic approach to your hormone health. A healthy diet rich in valuable nutrients, regular exercise and healthy stress management are all positive steps. Try to get enough sleep, mind your gut health, lower your sugar intake and eat plenty of fibres. Hormone Help supplements can help with your plant based support but the rest its up to you!
To alleviate the symptoms of perimenopause, the following measures can be taken in addition to Hormone Help:
- Regular exercise
- Healthy diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables and whole grain products
- stress reduction techniques
- Enough sleep
- Talk to your doctor about possible hormonal or herbal therapies
