Between drop off, pick up, work, and a million other things that come with being a mama, taking care of yourself can easily take a backseat. You probably know eating well and staying active can help you feel good, but sometimes you need a little extra hand-holding to support your health goals. Supplements can offer just that.

The tricky piece is sorting through all the (mostly well-intentioned) hype about which ones you should take. Add on the fact that women’s bodies are so beautifully unique—thank you, hormones—and figuring out exactly what your body needs can feel confusing.

Enter Her Own, a targeted supplement line with ingredients specifically chosen and developed for women’s unique wellness needs. With testimonials boasting more energy to keep up with children, fewer cramps during your period, and even better sex, our editors were thrilled to find a brand that authentically supports women’s health.

Here are 8 of Motherly’s favorite options from Her Own that are well worth the hype

1. A comprehensive formula to bid adieu to urinary tract infections

If you’ve ever had a UTI, you know that the classic symptoms like itching, burning, and feeling like you need to pee (all.the.time) are miserable. If you’re regularly plagued by UTIs, cranberries are a powerful way to reduce your risk because they keep bacteria from sticking to the bladder’s walls. UTI by Her Own contains cranberry extract, green tea extract, dandelion root, and a probiotic blend to support a healthy pH balance and keep your urinary tract in check.

2. Period relief in a bottle

Cramping, bloating and just feeling ready to cry at any moment—not what you need in your life. PMS by Her Own supports healthy hormone balance with a proprietary blend of adaptogenic herbs, minerals and botanicals. Ingredients include chaste tree berry (aka Vitex) to target hormone balance alongside ashwagandha, a stress-relieving adaptogen that helps you feel calm and more relaxed. Dong quai, evening primrose oil, and 5-HTP for cramps, mood swings and bloating. PMS, meet your match.

3. A rescue remedy for stable energy

We know that eating nutrient-dense foods that nourish the body is always a good idea for healthy energy and metabolism. But when you’re running on fumes, an extra layer of support can be helpful. Boost by Her Own contains chromium to support blood sugar and metabolism, which could help curb those cravings for sugar and caffeine, while green tea (along with a thermogenic blend) provides a gentle boost to your energy. It’s the next best thing to an afternoon nap.

4. A capsule to ignite your libido

It’s totally normal to not be “in the mood” when your kids are young. Everything that impacts sex drive—sleep, energy and hormones —can shift after having children. It takes time (and a lot more sleep) to feel like yourself again. In the meantime, Desire by Her Own provides a little extra help thanks to herbal mood and libido enhancers like maca, hops and oat straw to get you back in the game.

5. A formula for healthy detoxification

Yes, you’ve heard the word “detox” just about everywhere these days, but here’s the truth: detoxing is something your body does daily, and you can optimize the process with the right foods and lifestyle habits. Cleanse by Her Own helps keep things regular with a blend of herbs, probiotics and prebiotics to support gut health, digestion and optimal detoxification.

7. A berry-flavored probiotic for gut health

A balanced gut microbiome, aka the bacteria in your GI tract, keeps digestion running smoothly and supports your immune system. Her Own’s Probiotic Gummy includes 5 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum. This gummy also contains FOS (fructooligosaccharides), a prebiotic that nourishes good bacteria by providing the fuel they need to thrive.

This is also available in a Probiotic capsule.
