Hi, I made a mistake it’s DAO and it is a enzyme that is found naturally in the body but one that a woman may lack during the peri and menopause transition, it is there to break down histamine in the body, so yes it is safe unlike many of the chemicals found in moisturising creams. Also Stinging nettle drops are a natural antihistamine some people drink nettle tea too.

I've never been brave enough  .  The colour also puts me off

Yes I don’t fancy nettle tea that’s why I’m taking the drops but so far so good. I dont know if its the increased eostrogen or the supplements that are working or maybe the combination of both but right now either way with my move imminent next week I’ll take the non itching until I settle in a bit then come off the supplements slowly and see what happens then

Hi
I have mild, constant itching and I am postmenopause with dry skin.
I am wondering if you stopped the supplements and found relief from the estrogen patches alone?
Thanks!

Morning onlinescoop -

When was your last period?  As oestrogen levels naturally drop the body may become dry: inside and out; skin, deep in the ears, nostrils, vagina, scalp.  I use 'vaseline' or 'nivea' regularly on the itchy skin and have appropriate vaginal atrophy treatment all which helps.
