Title: Macalife
Post by: Sammas on August 01, 2016, 06:58:04 PM

Hi, Has anyone used Macalife? I started one a day which was fine, then the week after my period all symptoms returned. They improved again and since the last period they have returned again What happens to hormones after a period to make me feel like this?
Any advice appreciated x

Hi Sammas - what symptoms are you experiencing. Lots of us find, when taking a supplement, that symptoms improve but this is just because a period is on the way. Once the period arrives then symptoms return.

That sounds uncomfortable Sammas. Have you had all of the blood tests to check for anaemia, thyroid etc. and are you on any other medication?
