Follicular Phase Support Stack
The Follicular Phase Support Stack was designed with Dr. Stacy Sims and includes Vitamin D3 and Omega-3 to help
support iron absorption and reduce inflammation during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.
The follicular phase starts on the first day of a woman's period and typically ends 13-14 days later when ovulation
occurs. The prevalence of iron deficiency in female athletes is higher than in their male counterparts.
The Follicular Phase Support Stack gives female athletes the tools they need to absorb adequate iron, and reduce
inflammation to perform at their best during the follicular phase. Vitamin D boosts iron absorption, counteracting the
prevalent iron deficiencies in female athletes. Omega-3s help to reduce inflammation. Together they ensure you’re both
fortified against iron deficiency and primed for peak performance.

Omega-3
Omega-3 are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids that play a critical role in cell membranes throughout the brain
and body. Supplementation increases EPA and DHA levels, which enhance cardiovascular health, brain function, and
muscle and joint recovery. Our Omega-3 was designed to include a 1:1 ratio of EPA/DHA per serving and stands out for
its exceptional purity, potency, and sustainability.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 is an essential fat-soluble vitamin found in certain foods and produced by the body when exposed to
sunlight. It is a critical nutrient required to keep your body functioning properly. Vitamin D promotes calcium
absorption, facilitating the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. It also supports muscle
function, immune system modulation, hormone regulation, gene expression, and overall cellular health. Vitamin D3 has
been shown to be the most potent and easily absorbed form of Vitamin D.

FAQ's
Why is this bundle focused on the follicular phase?
Female athletes often experience increased iron deficiencies during the follicular phase, which begins on the first
day of a woman's period and typically ends 13-14 days later when ovulation occurs. This bundle is tailored to support
iron absorption and reduce inflammation during this time.
Can I take these supplements outside the follicular phase?
Absolutely. While optimized for the follicular phase, these supplements can benefit your health and performance
year-round.
Are there any side effects to these supplements?
Both Vitamin D and Omega-3s are generally well-tolerated. However, as with all supplements, it's crucial to consult a
healthcare professional before starting a new regimen.
How can I avoid fish burps when taking Omega-3 supplements?
At Momentous, our Omega-3s are molecularly distilled for optimal purity, and most users report experiencing no fish
burps. Still, here are a few tips to help further minimize the likelihood of fish burps:
-
Take with food. Having a meal or snack along with your Omega-3 capsules can aid digestion and reduce any lingering
aftertaste.
-
Avoid strenuous exercise immediately afterward. If possible, don’t pop two capsules and head straight into a hard
run or workout. Waiting a bit before exercising can help your body begin the digestion process smoothly.
-
Choose a high-quality, natural form of Omega-3. Our fish oil is processed to maintain the triglyceride form, which
is the natural and most bioavailable form of Omega-3. Many cheaper supplements use an ethyl ester form, which is
more heavily processed, less bioavailable, and can lead to more frequent fish burps.
