Relizen by Bonafide. Relief from Menopausal Hot Flashes & Night Sweats. — 1-Month Supply (60 Tablets)

I've read a lot of reviews for this product, and wanted to give it a fair chance to work before writing a review. I have been having hot flashes for about 7 years. I read if you take 1200UI of Vitamin E it will help. I did that for the first few years, and it seemed to help, or it was a placebo. Then I got lazy and quit taking it, I thought I was done with hot flashes. Then they came back with vengeance. The vitamin E was not helping, (you also have to take vitamin E for several days/weeks before you know if it's going to work). My hot flashes were almost constant, 24/7, like someone was turning on and off a light switch. This lasted for several months, perhaps even a couple of years. I'm anti hormone treatment, but I was to the point where I was willing to try anything my Dr. suggested. She suggested this exact product. Bonafide-Relizen. I started taking this late last spring, (six months ago), and it takes several weeks before you see any results, and it is a lot of money to spend on an experiment. One reason I waited so long to give a review, I needed to see if it was working for me. And, now that we are heading into winter, I wanted to see how I would feel once my husband started the wood stove up again. One thing, I have finally learned to dress in layers, if I'm hot, take off a layer, or two. As for the Relizen, I'd say it's doing a really good job. I still get hot flashes, but I can now go several days without one. All I had to do , before, was think about a hot flash and I'd get one. While writing this review I haven't gotten one. I'm very happy to have my hot flashes in check. You have to remember, we are all different, our hormones are all different, and constantly changing while we go through this wonderful time in our lives. Hot flashes, as bad as they can be, (and they can be miserable), are still better then any day on my period. If your trying to decide if you should take this or not, why else read reviews, what do you have to loose? It's either going to work or it's not. Good luck. (PS, another symptom I started having last winter, not only several hot flashes per day, but pitting out! I haven't pitted out since I was in my teens! This is also stopped in the past couple of months). Whew!

First let me say I had a hysterectomy for health reasons 2017. I was left with one ovary and one Fallopian tube. Not having a monthly menses was pure joy. Then one day all of a sudden I felt intense internal heat and broke out in a sweat. I felt as though I was being cooked alive from the neck to the waist. It lasted for about 4 minutes and subsided. Let’s say that occurred about 6 times that day. I thought it was due to my thyroid. That night I couldn’t sleep. I was so hot and sweaty I couldn’t take it. It was March on Long Island, NY but I had my bedroom windows opened and the ceiling fan on with no relief. I realized I must be having hot flashes. I’ve heard women complain about hot flashes for a long time but let me tell you, you can only truly appreciate their suffering when you go through it. It’s exactly how every one says. One second you’re blazing hot, get half naked and then you’re freezing cold. I did some research and came across Relizen and figured I’d give it a try. I’m in the medical profession and I’m not a fan of herbal supplements or natural remedies but when you’re suffering you’ll try almost anything. I was hopeful. The reviews said it took about 3 months before they noticed any changes by in my case after 3 weeks the hot flashes were completely gone and it’s now June. After that I signed up for auto delivery so I’m never without or worrying about reordering. This product is amazing and works like it says. Full disclosure, I also use black cohosh and vitamin E as well. I swear by this product and it works. The pills have no taste which is good and their small enough to swallow without difficulty. I do plan on starting hormone replacement therapy as I’m still young and the risks are a lot less. My appointment isn’t until August so until then and perhaps even after I’ll be using this.

Unfortunately, this product made my hot flashes significantly worse. After about one week of using this product, I noticed that during the day I had more frequent and intense hot flashes and the night hot flashes were even worse!! But, wanted to try a bit longer to see if I would get any benefits from using it, so stuck with it. After about 3 weeks, I had to stop. I was having more hot flashes than I had before using and at night I started getting night sweats. I wasn't able to sleep and had to change my shirt during the night. About 3 or 4 days after I stopped taking, the number of hot flashes reduced and no longer having night sweats. Appears from the comments this product works for some people, but unfortunately this product made my symptoms significantly worse.
