Description

Our Menopause Symptom Relief Drops are formulated to relieve menopause symptoms. Our product includes Black Cohosh. Its flowers and roots were commonly used in traditional Native American medicine, and today it has become a popular women’s health supplement claimed to help with menopause symptoms, fertility, and hormonal balance.

The formulation includes a number of herbs which are known to be beneficial for hot flushes, headaches associated with periods, painful periods, stress relief,  bloating, discomfort associated with premenstrual syndrome and emotional problems arising during menopause; to maximise the efficacy of the product.

We use vegetable glycerine as our base as it is diabetic friendly (does not cause blood sugar to spike). It also has less side effects than ethanol (alcohol) traditionally used in tinctures. In addition vegetable glycerides are more palatable.
