Fibrocystic breast disease (FBD) is a term given to a very common group of benign conditions affecting the breast in younger women. Both breasts become tender or painful and lumpy, and these symptoms vary at different times in the menstrual cycle.

A female support nutrient should contain natural agents that have been shown in clinical studies to effectively manage fibrocystic breast disease.
An essential fatty acid should contain the perfect blend of essential oils shown to reduce the inflammation associated with breast tenderness in fibrocystic breast disease.
High Potency Multiple Vitamin and Mineral
