Title: Vaginal dryness & collagen recommendation
Post by: Nairn on June 14, 2021, 06:45:47 AM
Hi all

This forum has been so very helpful to me during my journey I wanted to pass on some information on a product

Over the years I have suffered terribly from vaginal dryness and tried everything including several referrals to NHS and private consultants.  I finally decided to try collagen supplements, combined with consultant prescribed Ovestin every night and it’s been amazing.  The brand I have been using is Starpowa and for the first time in years, things are back to normal down there, including intimate relationships.  Took about 6 weeks to notice a real difference but it works.  I’m also taking their meno balance which has helped with the hot flushes and night sweats.   Both are vegan, really yummy and easy to chew.  You can buy direct and also Holland and Barrett have them in their penny sales as they are not the cheapest depending on your budget.

Please remove the links ;-)


There are good threads on 'bladder issues' and 'vaginal atrophy' on the Forum.  Once symptoms are eased, it's important to keep up with the treatment or the areas will become dry with more discomfort.

Hi CLKD

Thanks, links removed, apologies.  I’m a long term sufferer so fully agree with you on the continuing action required - just thought i would pass this recommendation on.  Wish I had found it years ago :-)

Glad that something works!  It's sometimes Trial and Error ain't it  ::)
