Been taking since March 22 without a break. I am 55years this year…had my ovaries removed Feb 20 and was told at 51 years I wouldn’t have any side effects!!! How wrong the ‘male’ gynaecologist was! I spent 2 years trying to manage. I had every symptom of menopause. I really wasn’t prepared to take HRT - I have boarder line hereditary blood pressure. I struggled on the pill and more complex to get the right HRT - still having my uterus. I stumbled across Equi and thought that I had nothing to lose. I still get the odd hot flush - so do my friends on HRT. My mood is stable - skin, hair, nails all great. My energy levels are amazing - rarely tired. I work 3 days a week, look after a family, home and walk 2 hours a day with my Boxer Dog. Menopause is no longer an issue for me… feel so good. I will not stop taking EQUI. Customer Service are super helpful. I cannot rate it enough. I take the oil and power with water in the shaker cup every morning with breakfast. Life saver!
