Sound familiar?
You get one good week. Then the countdown starts.
You snap at the people you love
Then spend the next day apologizing, and wondering who that was.
The tired is a different kind of tired
Plans get cancelled. Workouts don't happen. Getting off the couch feels like a lot.
The low mood shows up on schedule
Anxiety, crying spells, a heavy cloud. Then your period comes and it lifts like it was never there.
Your body joins in
Bloating, cramps, sore breasts, headaches. It's the same week, every month.
Your options felt thin
Birth control or an antidepressant, and "good luck." You wanted to at least try the foundation first.
Something shifted
After the baby. After stopping the pill. Somewhere around 38. Your cycle stopped feeling like yours.
You're not too sensitive, and you're not alone. Your hormones run on nutrients, and most of us are short on the foundational ones that support your cycles.
Start with the ElixirMade for every season of your cycle

Same formula, same daily scoop. Here's what it looks like for people like you.
Why Marea exists
"I was held hostage by my cycle for 17 years."
I was held hostage by my monthly cycles for over 17 years and I had no idea there was anything I could do about it except ‘just deal.’ Then I discovered the life changing support of nutrition and have now lived in ownership of my life no matter the cycle phase. I knew I had to share this with others struggling and teamed up with health professionals to create Marea. This product has now supported me through my experience with PMDD and postpartum. We’ve helped thousands of women take control of their cycles and I can’t wait to support you too.

In their own words
Marea customers share what changed once the Elixir became part of their daily routine.
“I'm not somebody who typically tries this type of thing… but really like I am less anxious. I'm not having these mood swings.”
Mood · anxiety · work stress“I've tried Vitex… I have a very healthy diet… My husband can attest we have definitely seen a turnaround in 30 days.”
Irritability · fatigue · relationships“Only having one week in the month where I was feeling energized… In this last month, really the only way I knew I had my period was going to the bathroom.”
Fatigue · mood swings · cramps“It's like 10 to 14 days before my period starts… I now only have those for like three days. I feel like I am really reclaiming back my time.”
Brain fog · mood · ADHD + perimenopauseWhat's in the scoop
15 nutrients your cycle runs on, in forms your body can use
Because it’s the foundations that make everything else function better.
The calm-down mineral. Supports mood, sleep, muscle cramps and how you handle stress.
Helps make serotonin and GABA, your feel-steady messengers.
One of the most-studied nutrients for PMS mood and physical symptoms.
Most of us run low. It's linked to mood and healthy hormone signaling.
Antioxidant support for period comfort, including breast tenderness.
Supports skin, immunity and a smoother cycle.
Antioxidant support that also helps your body absorb minerals.
Supports your thyroid, which your energy and cycle depend on.
The energy crew. B vitamins turn food into fuel and help your body process hormones, which is why low Bs often feel like "PMS tired." Methylated forms are ready for your body to use.
Powdered nutrients should work the same as pills, but a pill only helps if it breaks down. Many are never tested for how well they dissolve in the gut, and people with digestive or absorption issues often struggle with them. That’s why healthcare providers tend to favor powders: they dissolve quickly. Being consistent matters and a delicious beverage is much easier to work into your routine than a handful of pills.
What to expect
Nutrition works on cycle time. Here's the timeline.
Some people feel a difference in days. Most see the biggest change by their third cycle.
The habit
One glass a day. Many people notice calmer evenings and better sleep first, thanks to the magnesium.
Your first luteal phase
The week before your period is the test. Reviewers often say it felt "steadier," or that their partner noticed before they did.
Building up
Nutrient levels keep rising. Energy, cramps and bloating tend to follow mood.
Your new baseline
This is where most people see the full picture, and why the 3-month plan is our best value.

Customers said this vitamin powder dramatically helps PMDD symptoms including mood swings, depression, anxiety, and fatigue. "I've gotten my life back after decades of not feeling myself," noted one customer. Many reported improvements within 1-3 months. Some mentioned powder clumping issues and mild digestive discomfort. Most found the taste delicious and appreciated the convenient form.
- After decades of struggling I am finally free!! This supplement has given me my life back.
- I feel like I've gotten my life back after decades of not feeling myself for 2 weeks a month.
- I told my boyfriend and he was shocked. I hadn't even cried in the past 2 weeks!
My daughter has been struggling for YEARS… it was only last year that she was diagnosed with PMDD… she is 35. Lost jobs, self medicated because she never knew what was happening to her… she found out about the elixir and, she had tried everything, so she decided to give Marea a try… she doesn’t have the extra money so I bought the first month.. I would have done anything to find some relief for her… the results seem to be fabulous!! She has her life back and thus I bought four more… my gratitude is over the top!! Thank you!🌟
I appreciate Marea more than words can express. Each month I would experience the most extreme emotional rollercoaster, I had long ago decided that was that, and I just had to do my best *every 12 days out of the month* to cope, and also hope those near and dear would routinely forgive me for being a psycho. I am finishing my first bag (lemonade flavor is the business) and already feel so much lighter. I don’t have the major mood shifts and sense of impending doom. Thank you so much for creating this magical elixir!!!
Anything you can do, I can do bleeding🩸
I love how delicious it is, even though that’s not the number on impressive thing about this product. I’m impressed by the dietician who formulated it with the knowledge of how bodies actually absorb these nutrients and hormone supportive vitamins. I’m confident in the efficacy as I’ve noticed a balance within my own life as I’ve been us in this drink for more than five cycles. Give it a try!! So good and so good for your one and only body.
This is magic lemonade. It truly has been life changing. My pmdd has suppressed. I had excruciating pain in my hips once a month and awful lower back pain. Both have not occurred the last two months since I’ve been taking Marea. My nails are growing and are stronger and look healthier than I have ever seen them. I have had consistent energy all day long, cutting back on energy drinks to get myself to the gym. I have been a happier woman.
I've been struggling with hormones the last few years. I found out I have adhd six months ago and now also perimenapause (I'm 37). Marea was a supplement in a long list that I feel is actually helping my deficiencies. The taste is great. I'll definitely keep buying it!
I bought my first order of single use packets and found a bird feather in one of the sachets. How does that happen in a vitamin drink? I like the product but that is disgusting.
PMDD has been destroying my life for the last 3 years. I seemed to come on after starting infusions for my Multiple Sclerosis. I have been beyond desperate, isolated, afraid for myself and OF myself. Nothing works for me. No benzodiazepines, no SSRIS, and I’m not willing to go half insane again on birth control. I did COPIOUS amounts of research on the things deficient in one living with PMDD. I am a supplement taker. High quality but any supplements for every day of the month would cost far more than this and I know that. After finding this PMS mix- it made no sense to me to go buy all the supplements for about triple the price. If it wasn’t going to work, I wouldn’t be out so much money. I had started w 20mg Pepcid in the am and 20 in the Pm, which helps so much- BUT- I can feel this drink doing something! My PMDD this month was more quiet? If that makes sense? It may seem slight but I absolutely notice it and it’s only been a month. My goal is to heal the deficiencies and not take the Pepcid. Marea is doing gods work. And hallelujerr!
I have struggled with my PMDD for 10 years. I have tried so many different things but prefer a natural solution. I reviewed a Harvard study that recommended supplements for PMDD and most of them were in this product. The drink tastes good especially when cold. I like both the flavors. It helps with my mood, hormonal acne, energy level, and bloating.
I have been taking the PMS elixir for a month now. And honestly not even everyday, I for get some days. But last month I was surprised to have started my period! The reason was in I wasn’t expecting it. Usually my PMS symptoms are so strong that I know my period is coming. I wasn’t depressed even for a day, and that has been severe ten days before my period for years. I was happier and felt content. I am so grateful and would love to keep taking this supplement.
Since having kids I have been struggling, unsure of what was going on with my mood and energy and struggling with bloating and fatigue on top of that. Over time I realized it was cyclical. As I dug in more I learned about PMDD and realized that my symptoms lined up perfectly with the symptoms experienced by others with PMDD. I had one of the worst episodes back in November that lasted over a week. Being at the end of my rope I was eager to find a solution. By some miracle I came across a review for Marea and was extremely intrigued. Money is super tight but I asked my husband if we could make it work… we both agreed that we needed to try whatever we could and not let money hold us back. I placed my first order and had my vitamin packets within 3 days.
I didn’t notice anything at first but a little over a week in I realized that I wasn’t bloated. That blew my mind because I honestly couldn’t remember the last time that I wasn’t bloated. 🤯 It was a daily issue.
Along with that, I have had a handful of days where I have felt “off” like before but this time I noticed that it was so much more manageable than what I was experiencing before Marea.
As the weeks have gone on I have noticed a significant amount of joy and an energy return to my life. Something that has felt so difficult for me to experience in the last few years. I am amazed at the effectiveness of Marea and am so grateful I stumbled upon it.
I am about 2 months in and have been taking 1 packet a day. I look forward to continuing to see how these vitamins help me. It truly has been a game changer and has given me hope. I would recommend these to anyone struggling with PMDD or other PMS symptoms. 12/10 !!!
I recently went off of birth control which meant my entire cycle had been distrusted and changed. After using Marea's PMS Elixir for a few weeks, I instantly felt less pain/cramps and mood swings. It was honestly shocking. It feels incredible and empowering to consume something daily made by women for women. I never thought I would talk about my cycle so much in public but every chance I get to share how Marea has changed my life, I do.
I definitely noticed my PMS symptoms weren’t as bad after taking the Elixir for a couple weeks! One symptom that is really tough for me is breast tenderness and swelling. I’m a group fitness instructor- dance cardio + sculpt - so I do A LOT of jumping haha. It’s so hard to be in the fitness industry with PMS, but I was pleasantly surprised that my breasts weren’t as tender since using the Elixir! Thank you Marea for helping me move and groove through life 🙌🏼
I have been taking Marea for a while. I can't say it helps fully with my moods as I think my hormones are all over the place because of my age and I have had PMDD my whole life, but I feel like I do not get sick often and it keeps me regular. I like the lemonade flavor much better than the tropical, but it is not my favorite so I drink it very fast. I would say give this a try if you are looking for a good vitamin for women. It is so much better than taking giant horse pills that I don't think absorb as well as this.
I am reviewing as a mother of an adult disabled woman. She can’t say much other than acting out during her hormonal shifts. My husband and I are learning that the best practice is consistency and when we are consistent with giving this drink on a daily basis we find the shifting is a much smoother transition. We are subscribed monthly and don’t go without MAREA. I have told so many people of this drink so they can be helped as well. Thank you!
I assume it's doing something. Tastes good
I am so happy I found this product. I used to have cramping between periods and when I actually had my period and now I don’t have them. This product has changed my mood and has truly changed my life!! I will be a forever customer!!!
I absolutely love the Marea PMD Elixir Travel Packs! 💗 As a busy mom, life gets hectic, and sometimes it feels like there’s barely enough time to take care of yourself. I love how convenient these travel packs are because I can take them with me wherever I go and simply mix one into 8 oz of water. I don’t have to skip it just because I’m busy or on the go!
I have PMDD, and after a few months of consistently using this product, I’ve noticed a difference in how I feel. I love having something that fits so easily into my daily routine without adding another complicated step to my day. Between motherhood and everything else life throws at us, convenience matters so much! These travel packs make it easy to stay consistent with my self-care, and I’m so happy I gave them a try. Definitely a product I love having on hand! 💕
I’m still so incredibly thankful for this product! For years after having kids, I felt like I was drowning. I was either sinking into a numbing depression or turning into a raging monster. I was always exhausted, and I couldn’t recognize myself anymore.
After 1.5 years of using Marea, I can’t imagine ever stopping. I had one month when I kept forgetting to take it, and it made me realize just how much it was truly helping.
Now the fog is gone, the rage is (mostly) gone, and I’m strength training and THRIVING! Two years ago, I never could have imagined I’d feel this good again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Only one month in but I feel like I notice a difference!
Questions
Good questions. Straight answers.
How long until I feel a difference?
Some people notice calmer moods or better sleep within the first couple of weeks. Most see the biggest shift by their second or third cycle, because nutrient levels build over time. That's why we recommend committing to three cycles.
Is this for PMS or PMDD?
Both, and everything in between. The Elixir was formulated by a dietitian who specializes in PMDD, and about a third of our reviewers mention PMDD. It's also loved by people with everyday PMS, people coming off birth control, postpartum moms and people in perimenopause.
It's a nutritional supplement, not a treatment for PMDD. Keep your care team in the loop.
Can I take it with birth control, an SSRI or other medication?
Many of our customers take the Elixir alongside their medication. It's a multivitamin, so there's nothing unusual in it. Still, please check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and never stop a medication without their guidance.
Can I take it postpartum or while breastfeeding?
Lots of postpartum customers use it once their cycle returns. If you're breastfeeding, show the supplement facts to your provider first. We don't recommend it during pregnancy or while you're actively trying to conceive.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Through our partner Truemed, you can pay with your HSA or FSA card at checkout. Most people save an average of 30% by using pre-tax dollars. Choose Truemed at checkout and answer a short health survey to qualify.
What does it taste like? Does it clump?
Citrus Lemonade is bright and tart. Tropical tastes like mango, pineapple and coconut. Both are sweetened with stevia and have no added sugar.
We left out the gums and blending agents most powders use to stop clumping. Add the powder to at least 8 oz of liquid (not liquid to powder) and mix with a whisk or frother. New subscribers get a free Power Whisk and 6 travel packs in their first box.
Taste too strong? Add more water, or blend it with ice, juice or iced tea.
I have a sensitive stomach. Anything I should know?
Ease in: start with ¼ scoop and build up over 1–2 weeks. Take it with food and at least 30 minutes away from caffeine. If you notice stomach upset, drop back to the last comfortable amount and stay there a little longer. You can also split it into ½ scoop twice a day.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You're covered by our 30-day happiness guarantee. If you gave it an honest try and decided it's not for you, email hello@mareawellness.com within 30 days of your first purchase and we'll refund your first order, minus $10 for shipping and handling.
We do recommend 2–4 months of consistent use before deciding. Taste-test sample packs and international orders aren't refundable.
How do I cancel or pause my subscription?
Log in to your account and choose Manage Subscription. You can skip, pause, change your ship date, swap flavors or cancel anytime, with no calls and no hassle. We always email you before an upcoming shipment.
Is it really worth $1.67 a day?
It replaces a multivitamin, magnesium, a B-complex, vitamin D and zinc, which most people buy separately for $80 or more a month. And it's one step instead of five.
Give your next three cycles a better shot
One scoop a day. A free welcome kit and free shipping with your subscription. And if it's not for you, our 30-day happiness guarantee has your back.
