Wondering if anyone uses ALL or one or ANY of these items from AL and wondering if they have really helped you at all?

I am going into my mid 40's and really noticing the shift in hormones (YES, I have had bloodwork and as of right now my Dr. tells me I am "within range")

I just get anxiety type feeling and unable to sleep the week before my period. I am thinking of something that will help with that and help overall with the whole transition into Perimenopause & then Menopause of course.

Could you tell me your experience with any or all of these? Would love to hear as I am not sure which to start with.

TIA for your input!

Hi,

I use the Women's wellness and the evening primrose.

They have both helped me and I'm only taking the lowest dose suggested.

I take the women's wellness in the AM and evening primrose at night.

I was having some of the usual symptoms and they have helped me

Thank you so much for your reply. I have been taking extra fish oils, Bcomplex and Ccomplex but still thought I should add something in for add'l. support - That sounds like an excellent plan so you that you get the benefit of both and take one during the day and the other at night - Great plan

I take Women's Twice Daily from Vitacost. Even though I'm post-menopausal, I still take EPO in the morning and evening since it benefits the skin. I take a handful of other supplements, too. I've found that I can listen to Lessmen for information purposes, but then I go to Vitacost and find a comparable item for less money. Whatever you decide to take, unless it's in a softgel, tablet form is the cheapest way to make supplements and they don't always break up and digest completely. Encapsulated powder is the best, which Vitacost offers.

Thank you - YES, I agree, I am TOTALLY supplement savvy - Only Caps or Liquid, NO HARD TABLETS!! I also look for little to NO fillers. What Women's supplement are you taking from Vitacost, I order at least 3 times a month from there - Supplement, Shampoo/Cond, laundry soap - I love Vitacost (and IHerb)

More than a handful, I guess, and not women specific, but I take:
Glucosamine Sulfate & Chondroitin Sulftate w/MSM
Hair Skin & Nails Formula
CoQ10
Turmeric
Choline & Insitol
Krill Oil
Pine Bark Extract
Lutein & Zenaxathin
Citrus Bioflavanoids
Vitamin D3

Not from Vitacost, I take 2 CocoaVia capsules which we buy direct. I like the capsules, but DH like the packets that can be mixed into something else like a smoothie, water, or coffee.

I buy supplements for my dog from Vitacost, too.

What does EPO do for you? I just looked it up. It has lots of benefits. Thanks for posting. I learn something new here everyday.
