Vitanica Slow Flow - Normal Menstrual Flow Support for Women - Herbal Supplements with Vitamin C, Ginger Root & Bioflavonoids - Consumer Line - 60 Vegan Caps

I dont know why I bought this stuff - snake oil really. Does nothing.

Since I'm in the US and Healthcare is a business here, and I'm grossly under insured just to get the insurance I can, I have to be careful about how often I go to the doctor. I did have some rx left over that wasn't expired yet and that rx only worked half the time when my monthly decided to freak out. Freak out as in so bad I would almost faint, I slept a lot, I was so weak, couldn't stand for more than a couple of min, felt like I was giving birth to clots the size of an adult's fist and it would last WEEKS. It happens around twice a year. My only cure is a hysterectomy according to my doctor. But I can't afford my high deductible at the moment. I took my rx and it slowed things, but made me feel like I was dying from weakness and bloating. So I stopped and the hemorrhaging ramped back up. Bleed to death and feel OK but weak or feel like dying and only half the blood. Sigh. So I tried this. The label directions aren't the same as the directions on the product page. So I followed the label directions and took 3 of the regular pills. Within a couple of hours it slowed significantly but I didn't feel bloated. I saw another review here that said to use the fact acting stuff, so I ordered that. While waiting for the fact stuff to come in, the bleeding came back with a vengeance. I started the fact acting bottle as soon as it came in. Within 24 hours, only an occasional clot here and there would occur and I felt energetic and not bloated. Within 36 hours the nightmare ended and I'm free. The pills are massive and there's no real after taste. I feel better taking them with a bit of food and about 8oz of water. Usually pills don't set well with my sensitive stomach, but these did just fine, no issues. The value for the money is good, because it's cheaper than feeling like you're dying, changing feminine products every half an hour, doing emergency laundry every day, or getting surgery in the US. I don't know if this is a long term fix as this is only my first time trying it. But if you're in a tough spot like I was, I just wanted to say it worked. And for what it's worth, I'm usually a naysayer about herbal/ homeopathic remedies. Like I really did try this because I had no other hope or obtainable options. I'm so happy and appreciative that this was available. Thank you!

I've only used this for one full cycle so far, and it's been dicey. So no five-star rating yet. Taking the recommended amount can get real pricey, too. The bottle says you can take this up to six capsules a day for a short duration -- which it also says is three months. Alternately, it says, you can take one a day long-term. Usually being conservative in trying new things, I opted for one a day for a month before my next cycle, because this situation has been going on for three years and I am really, really tiring of it. Nothing! One per day didn't help at all. Until, in desperation, during that awful cycle, I went up to three in the morning, three in the evening. Apparent success! For whatever reason, my flow dropped down to a more manageable amount. Still heavy by any standards, but oh so much less biblical. I think between cycles I will stay at one per day, and when I start, go up to six per day. This will soon be my second month trying this pattern. If the six per day while on and one while off technique seems to work, or especially if it doesn't, I'll report back. I am adding some tincture versions of some of these same herbs to my regimen next month, so my scientific study won't be quite sound. I just want the flooding to be manageable until menopause. At least now, at this dose, I believe these herbs will help.

I have to be honest; this stuff is a god send. I wish I could hug the creators of this amazing vitamin/medication. Vitanica Slow Flow is more then I hoped for. Here's my long-winded story. After bleeding for a month, saw my doc. Doc said, "Those in perimenopause can have this happen. I'll send you for an ultrasound and to an OBGYN." Two ultrasounds later and OBGYN who said, "Thickening of the uterine wall. Get surgery." Went home researched the procedure and it has mixed reviews. It might help; it might not. More often than not works for a short time then it all happens again and people end up with hysterectomies. At this point I was in month 3 of bleeding and doc said "Ok, it's fine. We are just going to watch for anemia because your numbers are insanely low." No @#$! I told you that it's a murder scene in my bathroom every hour because NOTHING holds the amount, I was bleeding. Then one day it just stopped. I was so grateful for the blessing and moved on. Went almost a year with just some spotting here and there and figured. Oh, thank goodness, maybe I'm finally in Menopause. I was wrong. I started bleeding again, at first a normal period, then week two it got crazy heavy. I was back to the bathroom every 30 min to an hour. Had to get the period diapers along with an ultra-tampon. it was so bad. The clots were by far the worst part of it. At a month of this, my mental state was not great. Worried about anemia again and knowing that my insurance is worse now than it was before I started a search online. I found someone on a review of this exact product. Her story was extremely similar to mine. I finally felt like I wasn't alone and she said it worked for her. I was already two weeks of heavy bleeding at this point so, I decided to try it. Day one, took it as directed, and it slowed a bit. Day two, took as directed, and it slowed way down. I could actually leave the house and not be scared. Day three, took as directed and it went down to spotting. OMG! This stuff is amazing. but what it I stop taking it and it all comes back. Day four, tapered down dosage to see what would happen. Just spotting still. Day five, tapered down again, Nothing. No bleeding. Day six, didn't take. No bleeding Day seven - one month later. I have no bleeding. I honestly think this stuff saved my mental state and my body. Thank you to the makers. If you are going through anything like this, this is an amazing product. It's worth it to have your life back.

I was going to wait to write a product review, but I am so surprised that this worked that I'm doing it now. I am peri-menopausal and my cycles have become crazy. I can go one or two months between periods, or 21 days like this last one. I bled for 25 days my last cycle and am on day 10 of this one with no end in sight. This cycle is probably the worst one of my life! I've always had heavy periods, but they've been manageable. This month I have been bleeding through thick overnight pads every 2-3 hours with a high capacity menstrual cup, which is untenable because I am a teacher and cannot go to the bathroom whenever I want or need to. I ordered this stuff a few days ago hoping it would at least slow down the flood. I took my first dose last night, 3 pills according to the bottle. I also took some Shepherd's Purse and ibuprofen (had been taking those for two days and they helped only a little). Last night looked like a murder scene in my bathroom. This morning I woke up and it was like someone had turned the faucet tap off. There was maybe a tablespoon in my cup and nothing on the pad. I was shocked! Niagara Falls became a quiet stream. My wild uterus has been tamed! I don't know if they will work that fast for you, but WOW. I was expecting a day or two for results, not overnight. I will continue to take this for the duration of my cycle and report back if there are changes. I know some ladies reported that these shortened their cycle, which is what I hope will happen. I am tired of bleeding for more than a week. Next cycle I am going to start taking them as soon as I start bleeding and hope they can cut my extended cycles back down to something reasonable. Some people say the pills are large, but I don't think so. I am used to taking a multivitamin and supplements daily and they're no larger than those. There is an herbal smell in the bottle, but it is not unpleasant and the pills themselves have no taste. I did not notice any side effects. Update: Per noticing changes. My next cycle after this review just ended. I bled for 12 days when I started taking the pills. This time I only bled for six, which was normal for me before perimenopause. I used to bleed for 17 or more days once that nightmare began. I started the pills as soon as this cycle started and continued throughout (3 pills twice a day). The bleeding was very moderate and manageable, nothing at all like last month. I am thoroughly impressed with this product and will continue to purchase it. I'd give it ten stars if I could because it has given me back control over my body.
