FLO Gummies Ingredients

About Flo

Flo was founded in 2018 by siblings Brianna and Bobby Bitton. The duo wanted to start an important conversation about PMS and periods. Along the way, the company has empowered women to heal their bodies and minds.

FLO’s collection began with a PMS gummy, but it has since evolved over time to include fiber and immunity supplements.

The vitamins contain natural ingredients like chicory root, chaste berry, vitamin B6, and lemon balm—all conveniently packed into a simple gummy.
