Solgar Menopause Relief - 30 Tablets - Helps Relieve Hot Flashes, Exhaustion, Irritability, Sleep Disturbances & More - Promotes a Positive Mood - Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan - 30 Servings

Seriously, I don't even think about them any more. I started this supplement on Aug 31, 2022 and for the first two weeks didn't really notice much difference. Week 3 I was sleeping through the night. Today, 7 weeks later, I haven't thought about or had any hot flashes in days. Do yourself a favor, try this stuff, tell all your female friends, it works.

So, the first thing to know is that Siberian rhubarb root has been clinically shown to decrease hot flashes and associated sleep problems. I was doubtful about this when a friend told me that her GYN recommended a particular brand of supplements, but the NIH library has a ton of studies on in (search for NIH and "siberian rhubarb root"), mostly of her specific brand, which has been on sale in Germany for 30 years. However, that product is pretty expensive--about $2 a pill--and I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much on something I wasn't sure would work! But although there are plenty of other products that claim to contain Siberian rhubarb root, they tend to be pretty vague about exactly how much and which parts of the plant are included in their pills. So I went on a search through Amazon to see if I could find the exact same dosage and proportion of the parts of the plant as in her brand, but in a cheaper product. This was the only one I found that matched. (The benefits of saffron are BS, as far as I can tell, but I read some medical literature to reassure myself that it's not actually harmful.) For the first month, I saw no benefits at all, and I was a little discouraged; the studies I had read showed a decrease in hot flashes within a month, and a bigger decrease within three months. But I bought a second bottle and kept taking it. Around the sixth week, I realized that I couldn't remember when I'd last had a hot flash. A week or two later, I noticed that my fitness tracker was claiming I was getting much more deep sleep a night. And by the beginning of the third month, I realized that I was sleeping until 6-6.30 most nights, rather than waking up every night around 3 or 4 and then having to try to go back to sleep. I haven't started or stopped any other supplements or medication in that time, or changed any other lifestyle issues, so I'm pretty sure it's these pills. I'm grateful for an affordable product--though I wish it were sold in 60 or 90-pill bottles!

I normally expect it to take a few weeks before any type of supplement starts to work-but after 3 days of taking 1 pill each time-my hot flashes and night sweats have been reduced by like 75%. And-I'm not constantly angry and ready to bite everyone's head off for no reason. This is amazing-and no weird side effects. I'm so happy I can sleep almost through the night without waking up sweating and on fire. Now it's like one time versus 10.

I have been using this product for a week now and my hot flashes are actually worse than they were before I started. I haven't had a night sweat in a year, just several hot flashes a day. Awful night sweat last night and more hot flashes during the day. I am going to throw the rest of the bottle out. I was really hoping that this was going to work!!!

Worked ok. Half the time. Figured out I'm allergic to black cohosh.
