Asexual wellness – The Stratagem’s Archive

Author’s Note:

Primal Queen is a women’s health supplement. This post is NOT sponsored—I found it because my Ma swears it helped her hot flashes, so naturally, she shoved it in my face. I’m giving it a try.

I’m not a medical professional, and everything here is my experience only. Fellow archivists, take notes, experiment safely, and remember—your body might have a totally different story.

Why Am I Talking About a Women’s Health Supplement?

Simple. Thanks for asking!

1. If you’ve been following The Stratagems Archive, you know I’m an asexual woman exploring all kinds of things—from finances to video games to life hacks. Health counts.

2. My family and I have tried supplements over the years to fill gaps: energy, focus, nutrients, etc. When my Ma handed me Primal Queen, I decided—what the hell, let’s see if this thing does what it says.

So here I am, experimenting.

What Was Primal Queen Supposed to Do?

According to the marketing hype (and that tiny insert that comes with it), Primal Queen promises to:

Increase energy & vitality
Elevate mood
Reduce iron deficiencies
Support sex drive (ha!)
Boost immune system
Reduce stress & menstrual cramps
Promote healthy skin & delay aging
Improve muscle function & recovery
Balance hormones & menstrual flow

…And a bunch more. Basically, if this supplement doesn’t make me a superhero, I’m gonna be disappointed. But okay, you can see why I was skeptical, right?

What Have I Noticed So Far?

I started taking Primal Queen October 27, 2025. My November cycle? November 2–7.

Normally, I:

Feel sluggish, bloated, or low-energy before and during my cycle
Cramp so hard I want to punch someone in the face
End up moody, irritable, and basically done with the world

This month? Not so much.

Here’s the kicker: I know what my “good months” feel like, so I wasn’t ready to credit a supplement just yet. I asked myself:

Am I sleeping better?
Eating more regularly?
Drinking more water?
Getting sunlight or working out more?

Some yes, some no. So maybe Primal Queen is doing something—or maybe I just got lucky. Time will tell.

How I’m Doing This Experiment

Plan:

Take Primal Queen for 1 full month.
Stop for 1 month.
Compare my experience and see if I fall into the 9/10 who benefit or the 1/10 who don’t.

I’ll be keeping notes and reflections along the way.

Reflection for Fellow Archivists

Here’s where I break the 4th wall and talk to you:

Have you ever tried supplements for energy, mood, or cycles?
How did it feel—physically, mentally, emotionally?
Did you track changes consistently or just “hope it works”?
Have you noticed patterns over months, seasons, or life changes?

Experimenting on yourself is not about winning or losing—it’s about noticing what your body tells you.

Final Thoughts (2 Weeks In)

Even after only 2 weeks, I’ve noticed how powerful awareness is. Tracking my body, my energy, and my mood—without shame or hype—already feels like a win. Will Primal Queen be the magic pill it claims? Maybe, maybe not. But I’m learning something about my body either way.
