So, I am almost 50 and I just started having the mother of all hot flushes. Literally sweat pouring off me onto my clothing. It has been quite humiliating as I never knew when these hot flushes would arrive. I started taking these, one a day. I missed a couple of days in between, but as soon as I started taking them regularly again, these sweat episodes have all but disappeared. I am not even waking up drenched in sweat anymore. Just seems too obvious to be a coincidence. It just makes me wonder why on earth we used to take prescribed pills when there are these other remedies. Would be interested to know if there are any side effects of taking these capsules long-term.
