Relief after so many years of perimenopause
Let me start this review by saying that perimenopause sucks. The body changes affect the body and the mind. I started when I was in my late 30s and am now 44. Went to doctors with no intervention for the exception of anti anxiety meds and a cardiac workup. “Your labs look fine” kinda answers. Panic attacks with skipped heartbeats, horrific allergic reactions, so much so that my eyes would swell shut from histamine overdrive. Painful knees and back. Ridiculous weight gain in a short period of time. I was willing to try anything. Failure of General practitioners had led me to do my own research and symptom management, most of which are hormonal imbalances (estrogen and testosterone). I, for one, was iffy about HRT (hormone replacement therapy) at first, but I was open to supplements that mimic such hormones.I was recommended this supplement from a fellow nurse coworker after we had a long discussion about the pitfalls of perimenopause, well, mostly complaints from me. Mainly hot flashes, joint pain, anxiety, and drenching night sweats. Anyway, at that time, any relief was welcomed. Here were my experiences:First week: I took it consistently right before work. So far, no side effects. No noticeable relief. Still waiting.Second week: I began to feel less anxious. The intensity of my hot flashes had decreased from a 10 to an 7, however, the length of time for each flash decreased to about half the amount of time.Third week: I gave my coworker an update on how the supplement was working. I had to do an true assessment. My hot flashes had decreased in intensity of 10/10 to 5/10, frequency of 5x a day to 2 x a day, and the length of time decreased to about 10 minutes instead of the usual 30 min to an hour. Have you ever felt so normal again that you don’t even notice how bad it was? That was what I was feeling! Relief from the torrid of sweat and burning red face and ears. Because of that, I have been getting better sleep (from patchy 3 hours to 5 hours straight through). Now don’t get me wrong, I still had other symptoms at play. I still woke up sweaty, but not drenched, and my labile moods were still there, but not enough to warrant punching someone in the face.Month 2: Now, most of the sucky symptoms like hot flashes are just slight annoyances now. My sleep has gotten better because the drenching sweats has decreased to the level where I could just turn down the AC and sleep on cool, bamboo sheets (they do wonders BTW). I don’t wake up in the middle of the night as much anymore, maybe once a week though. Intrusive thoughts have lessened.I have now used DIM for almost 3 months now. I am super happy that I was introduced to this. Now, mind you, this worked out for me, thank the gods. I still get anxiety that a cold compress on my neck or a cold bath can’t help (it shocks your system back to rest and digest). I would suggest that you use this product, but also do your own research on how to manage your other symptoms. I also suggest HRT from reputable medical professionals that check specific hormone levels pertaining to perimenopause. I believe this supplement has helped with my symptom management, and it has improved my quality of life. Also, for the price of this type of comfort and peace of mind, it is a great deal! I hope you find my experience helpful.

I want to share my experience but also be transparent in that I used a few things to resolve my breast cysts and cyclical breast pain within ONE cycle !! DIM I feel was the leading factor along with IODINE—I have a holistic background and try to manage and heal things naturally .Since I discontinued breastfeeding my daughter 5 years ago, I’ve been having horribly painful , HEAVY breasts during my luteal phase (from ovulation until period, so, the 2 weeks before period ) that blow up like 2 sizes every single month.It become a norm for me and I figured it was hormonal and normal. ITS NOT NORMAL . It’s actually a sign of imbalance hormones likely caused by estrogen dominance.I started getting a bit concerned when I’d feel a sharp pain on the left breast randomly during those times , but not the right . I have health anxiety so I would worry I had breast can**r or something brewing.Well recently, I had a particularly difficult few months; special needs mama running a full time business and my child was going through a severe mental psychosis , I was getting little to no sleep, in and out of the hospital, and eating trash whilst gulping coffee and next to no water.I’m a herbalist so I know the importance of medicinal foods , herbs , supplements, water and sleep but when life got impossible it went out the window (lesson well learned btw- NEVER THROW YOUR HEALTH ON THE BACK BURNER !! ) – I digress . Following this difficult time, my luteal phase rolls along and BOOM – sharp pain in the left knocker , sore heavy breasts ect, but this time the left pain didn’t stop it was baaaad, and my god, I found a lump . It was visible to the skin and RED.Even though I KNOW lumps are common and likely not cancer, and the development of this one was so sudden, I automatically was convinced I had it. I was SCARED . Lump was like a jumbo gumball size . I felt like it wasn’t movable and rock hard and from everything I’d read that meant it wasn’t a cyst which was terrifying .After a big panic and puddle of tears I got to work. Firstly i booked an ultrasound because they can determine if it’s a cyst or needs further testing . Important info: DONT do an ultrasound during the luteal phase !!! It was horrible that I had to wait 2 weeks to find out , BUT it’s best to go the week after your period when your hormones are leveled again because breasts can get lumpy and weird in your luteal phase .I immediately went on a healing protocol – whether it was a cyst or cancer , Its a sign of imbalance and I wanted it gone.Here’s what I did :I prioritized sleep . 7 hours MINIMUM and at the correct time . Before 11 to access the healing hours . I intermittent fastet 16 hours daily .(Please do your own research and or consult a naturopath as I am not permitted to provide medical advice , this is just my experience based on my background, research and comfort levels)DIMLUGOlS IODINE 6 drops of 2% (From what I’ve understood a telltale sign of iodine deficiency is sore breasts /cysts and general breast issues; it’s a must for general breast health and prevention )EVENING PRIMROSE OIL – 3000mgVIT E – 1200iuI think these 4 were the most important and impactfulAdditionally I took SERRAPEPTASE which breaks down scar tissues , mucus , cysts etcAnd I took herbs / supplements to support my liver because if your liver isn’t functioning optimally your hormones will not be in Balance . This included: milk thistle, artichoke extract, tumeric/curcuminI also made sure to take my regular supplements such as vit d + k2 , b vitamins , magnesium , fish oilI drank warm herbal teas of all sorts all day in place of plain water like mushrooms , morninga , green tea , mullein etc .Ok so topically – each night …i painted the breast with iodine, rubbed magnesium lotion on it and I wore a castor oil pack on the breast (look it up)- castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oils into the tissues – healing & promoting lymph flow .I also tried to take warm baths with magnesium flakes nightly.I also practiced mindfulness and used sound therapy via playing my F NOTE singing bowl everyday- F note is associated with the heart and surrounding organs as well as the breasts . Sound frequencies align with our bodies frequencies and can heal imbalancesWithin 10 days the lump was nearly gone !! Ultrasound confirmed it was 2 cysts .The best part ?? Those sore breasts I was getting every single month for the past five years? The next luteal phase I didn’t have an ounce of breast tenderness! I actually cried my eyes out to my husband. I couldn’t believe that it was gone! It’s crazy what deficiencies can cause, and our body really speaks to us if you pay attention… we have a lot of power in our health ! Namaste, everyone .I hope this was helpful.

Wish I would have gotten these about 10 years ago. Pre-menopause I put on a lot of weight which is not fat but water retention. Tried everything to get rid of it. Very bad sinus issues. Took one of these at breakfast. within 3 days I saw a difference. I took 2 pills a day (breakfast and evening meal) for about 3 days and I could feel the fluid going away as my clothes got looser. I was sleeping better too. However, you can end up releasing toxins when you lose fluid (or water retention) and that does cause a headache. Trick is to take lots of fiber and water to get it to pass through your system quickly. I had to take activated charcoal capsules (3-4) with lots of water to absorb the toxins to alleviate the headaches. I have been taking a single capsule for about 2 weeks now and I see a BIG difference. My brain fog is going away. Normally if storms were coming I would be sleeping and feeling crappy etc but we are in the midst of a 25 cm snow storm and high winds and I am fine. I highly recommend these. I tried other DIM but did not get the result I am getting. I will continue to order this brand. I wish I had taken them in early/mid 40’s instead of after menopause. 5+ stars.Update I have been taking them now for about 3-4 weeks. I take one pill a day and then when headaches start (due to toxins being released in the body) I slack back to 1 for a few days. I sure do feel a difference and I have tried various things for menopause symptoms. I cannot stress how happy I am with these. Will not buy another product while these are on the market. Note: the headaches that many mention is likely due to toxins being released in the body causing overload for the body. I have had these same headaches with taking cleanses or other supplements for Candida.Update March 30, 2020. Slacked back to just 1 pill a day and I find that is not enough to relieve some symptoms. In the past 5 years due to while going through menopause I ended up with excessive hair on my arms (very noticeable) and legs and these pills are taking care of that problem as it is going away even the facial hair. My only complaint about these pills is that I didn’t start them years ago. I now take two pills a day (the past week) and every 2nd or 3rd day I’m trying a 3rd pill which is decreasing the arm hair. I HGIHTLY RECOMMEND THIS BRAND. .
