I haven’t noticed the sea buckthorn making any difference with my use of ovestin and vagifem. I have noticed a huge difference with my dry eyes with the added benefit of helping with the vaginal dryness. I’ve used the sea buckthorn for a couple of years now with no problems. Having said that, like Dierdre I have had a horrible flare up recently which seemed to start after starting to use Benecol. Whether that was coincidence it’s hard to know, but I’ve stopped using the Benecol for now. Whether the Benecol and sea buckthorn together were too much I don’t know, but I would be reluctant to give up the sea buckthorn because of the benefit to my dry eyes.
