Re: Consulte Beaute NEW Vitamin (EmpowHERment) and...

[ Edited ]

.

Mods: I've made this a separate post because there are those who have been asking questions about it under the Firming Cream thread. Please move if you feel it necessary. thank you.

 

For those who asked:

 

The Black CoHosh is for hot flashes, anxiety, trouble sleeping....just a few of the issues women going through menopause and who are post menopause experience. I haven't been warned off of it despite having thyroid issues.

 

The ingredient that has a direct affect on the thyroid is Ashwagandha Root And Leaf Extract. My doctors threw up the Red Flag immediately when I contacted them about it (Primary Care and Endocrinologist). Also, pull up the root on Mayo's site, WebMD and any other site and none recommend this for anyone who has any issue with their thyroid. I had never heard of this and well, knowledge is power.

 

Iodine is also listed in the ingredient deck which can be an issue for many with thyroid disease.

 

Considering their target audience is women 50 and above and the fact that the LARGEST group to have thyroid disease is women 50 and above....kinda stupid on their part, don't you think? I can understand WHY these are in the formula and if you don't have thyroid issues, it can be great for you but again....target audience and the thyroid disease numbers.

 

Not smart, IMHO.
