Hi there & welcome.

I've been taking starflower since I've reduced my HRT. Still get a few daytime flushes, but none, so far, at night. Not sure if starflower has done this or not though. Don't go buying too many initially. Much as I'd like to believe they help, I'm not convinced they could replace HRT.

Hi Alib123  :welcomemm:

I've been taking starflower for years to help keep breast cysts under control. I'm off back to see the surgeon as I've had a flare-up... and the likely cause? Not wearing my specs when I went to buy the last big bottle of capsules! :oops:

I thought I'd bought starflower (around 200mg/day GLA). Instead I bought Evening Primrose Oil (80mg/day GLA)!!! So I've accidentally carried out a blind trial on myself. Put my specs on in the shop yesterday when I went to buy more supplies!! :rofl:

Incidentally, I'm peri to and on HRT to regulate my cycle. Just changed from Prempak-C to Climagest last Friday. So far so good... but reserving judgement until I take the other tabs in the pack...
