 Night sweats

I am 53 years old. I have had night sweats for probably 8-10 years and just recently went into menopause. I have tried Jinteli (prescription from doctor) which did not work and then I tried Combipack (prescription from doctor and expensive) - night sweats continued.

 Irregular periods, PMS

I just wanted to say thank you. I am 23 years old and I have been irregular all my life. I use to bleed for weeks at a time and just be fatigued. I had started birth control; I decided to take them for one month and after I got my period to start taking the macafem. My cycle on the birth control was just horrible; I bleed extremely heavy

Dear Macafem team, I am extremely happy with the Macafem supplements I have been taking for the last 7-8 months. I feel that since I have being taken them I have had little or no night sweats!

 Energy levels, Irregular periods, Itchy skin, Sleep disorders

I am 42. Although my doctor says I am not yet at "the change." by body tells me otherwise. Over the last six-either months I was gaining weight, my body was itching like mad, my cycle was coming every 21-25 days and when it arrived I would have the worst cramps of my life.

 Dosages, Fatigue
