I started taking this for the health of my skin. I have always had sensitive skin, prone to well everything. What I discovered is that it completely diminishes my hot flashes. As I reached my fifties I started to have spells where my body can not maintain its temperature, commonly known as hot flashes. After adding a scoop of this to my smoothie every morning, after about two months my hot flashes are gone. A complete thing of the past. I did not take it for a couple weeks because I was on vacation and the hot flashes returned. Once I got back on schedule with my regular one scoop a day into my smoothie , the hot flashes were gone. This was an unexpected much needed result. And my skin is so much more healthier. My nails and hair are stronger and shinier. Thank you for this product.
