Has anyone tried HydraHer? I’m seeing adverts all over Facebook but all the testimonials sound too good to be true. The ingredients are just Vits A, D, B7, slippery elm and maca root. Surely the solution to post menopausal dryness can’t be that simple? I can’t find any independent reviews or testimonials, but its claims are amazing. Hoping there’s someone here who’s tried it.
Thank you.

You must be on the suckers list getting adverts for that!

It sounds like a crock of very expensive shit.

Nothing can beat therapeutic estrogen and androgen replacement in addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle.

I can't take HRT for medical reasons and my diet and lifestyle is fine, thank you. Just desperate for a solution to the dryness.

Sorry I don't know the answer but usually supplements only work if you're short of whatever it is that's in them. I share your view that if the answer was that simple we'd all know about it. Are you talking about skin dryness in general or vaginal dryness? If it's vaginal dryness topical oestrogen is safe to take even for those with oestrogen positive BC because so little gets in the blood stream. Search for posts on va or gsm, there are many.

Thanks Sheila. Vaginal dryness is the problem. I tried some kind of cream from the GP but it was so messy it was really off-putting to both me and the other half.

The only thing that will help is oestrogen. Have you tried the pessaries?

[Pythia]

No, I guess I could go back to the GP if that’s how you get them

[Ayesha]

Yes, if one treatment isn't satisfactory then there are others to try in pessary form.
If you are over 50 you can purchase online or a pharmacy, brand name is Gina.

Ah. Gina says not for people with high blood pressure. I'm on meds, family risk of stroke, I don't want to risk it. <sigh> I guess no pessaries from the doc either then.
