"Have been taking it for around a few weeks at least. I had a hormone reaction from covid vaccine and was advised to take it to stop breast pain and swelling. Helps with the pain but they've flared up again, not sure if I've got another virus that's caused the same reaction, but I'm feeling so fatigued recently and not a natural tiredness. I know it's supposed to help with tiredness but I feel it's doing the opposite for me! Anyone else?"

"I am postmenopausal and with a lot of symptoms but I could not persuade doctors to have hormonal check, how crazy is that? I tried EPR but every time gives me heart palpitations even at small doses, I believe that I am not estrogen dominant and maybe estrogen low so this oil further reduce it.I am now try to take bioidentical estrogen cream which is difficult to come by, finally I find a site that sell them.I also experienced with dhea and pregnenolone ,these are the precursors of hormones but without tests is difficult to know, and private clinics charged lots, so with research I try things to see which ones works for me and gives me some benefit."
