Few months after weaning my third child off breastmilk, my hormones started acting like they had a vendetta against me. Terrible cramps, heavy periods, and lack of motivation to do a single chore.
So, after seeing a few women rave about Happy Mammoth Estrocontrol on a mom’s forum, I caved.
I got it off Amazon directly as I didn’t want to deal with international shipping hassles. I’ve now been taking it for 3 weeks straight — and here’s exactly how it’s been treating me.
About Estrocontrol
Estrocontrol by Happy Mammoth is a plant-based estrogen detox and hormone balance supplement designed for women dealing with hormonal mood swings, heavy periods, PMS symptoms, and metabolism issues. It claims to naturally support healthy estrogen metabolism using ingredients like broccoli extract, DIM, and pomegranate extract.
My experience taking Happy Mammoth EstroControl
Within the first week, I noticed one thing for sure: I was heading to the bathroom more often. Not in a bad, run-to-the-toilet emergency way — just a healthy, regular way. Honestly, it felt like my gut was finally unclogging itself.
By week two, the most unexpected thing happened: I actually had the drive to get up and leave the house after work. Usually, the couch would claim me by 6 p.m., and I wouldn’t move except for snack runs. But somehow, this invisible weight lifted, and I found myself walking around the compound, running minor errands, and just… being up. I won’t say it turned me into a marathon runner, but the difference was clear enough for even my husband to notice.
Then my period came — and surprisingly, my cramps were much better. Not entirely gone, but definitely dialed down enough that I wasn’t reaching for my hot water bottle every 30 minutes. And the bleeding? Noticeably lighter. I’m usually in super heavy pad territory for the first two days (we’re talking mattress-sized), and this time, things were a lot more manageable. That alone made me feel like I wasn’t entirely wasting my money.
But here’s where it let me down: PMS and mood swings.
Honestly, no difference. I was still snappy, easily irritated, and ready to start fights over nothing. I didn’t notice any improvement in that department, and I really, really wanted it to help. The mood swings were a big reason I bought it in the first place, and on that front, it fell flat.
Also — no changes in weight. Not that I expected it to be a weight-loss supplement, but I work out consistently three days a week, eat reasonably well, and it didn’t seem to have any extra effect on that.
Pros
✅ Noticeably lighter periods
✅ Cramps almost completely gone
✅ More energy and motivation after work
Cons
❌ No noticeable weight loss
❌ Didn’t really improve mood swings
Alternatives
Here are some pretty great alternatives I found on Amazon.com for PMS relief and menopause;
Migcopat Women’s Hormone Harmony
Revitalize with Doctor’s Recipes Menopause Probiotic: Hot Flash Relief & More!
Ladywell- Wellness for Women – Hormone Health, Fertility, Perimenopause & More
Would I Buy It Again?
Maybe — but with managed expectations.
For me, Estrocontrol did a good job easing physical symptoms like cramps, heavy bleeding, and that sluggish, can’t-leave-the-couch exhaustion. Those changes alone made my cycle a little more bearable. But when it came to the mood swings and emotional PMS drama, it didn’t do a thing. I was still my usual snappy, easily irritated self before my period — so if you’re hoping it’ll calm the hormonal rage monster, it probably won’t.
For someone like me — still dealing with heavy periods and PMS — it was a mixed bag. I’ll finish the bottle for the cramp and bleeding relief, but I wouldn’t rely on it as an all-in-one hormone mood fix.
