Last week I shared that some of my problems came back briefly. More headaches, burning eyes, itching right arm and I had a cold sore. It was then I noticed the changes with Estroblend.
So I researched and thought I had come to a solution since I had already bought two boxes:

This solution did not work. For one thing- the caffeine really bothered my stomach. I take the Estroblend at night before bed and I would be awake a lot of the night with a burning stomach. Besides I would rather get my caffeine in a couple cups of coffee a day. : ) Also, the vitamins I bought to replace the vitamins were much more. I eat a pretty balanced diet and get a lot of vitamins so I think I was getting too many vitamins a day. The One A Day for Menopause has about the same amount of vitamins the old Estroblend did- plus it has Isoflavones so I didn't have to buy Isoflavones. I looked at 5 different places, Walmart and pharmacies, for One A Day Menopause. Could ONLY find it on Amazon so I have it set up for Amazon to automatically deliver every 2 months. It only has 50 pills in it...so you have to make sure you have enough to finish out the second month. Green tea, cranberry and boron I found only at the Vitamin Shoppe but I will research the best place to buy them before I have to get new bottles (in 3 months). The black cohosh, which is SUPER important I got at Walmart.
Pictured below is the old Estroblend. I kept the box so I could use it for comparison. Which I am glad I did.
Also pictured below is what I believe may finally be what I will be taking from now on. The price has went from $11 a month for Estroblend to about $20 a month to replace the best that I can, what was in the old Estroblend. The only thing I am missing is a couple of herbs- Date Seed Extract and Magnolia Bark Powder.
Below information is for my records.
Before bed:
One a Day Women's Menopause 50 pills (50 days, .31 a pill)- Amazon $15
Black Cohosh 100 pills 40mg (50 days, 2 a day (80mg a day), .10 a pill) Walmart $6
Green Tea 100 pills, 250mg (100 days, .14 a pill) $14
Boron 100 pills, 3mg (100 days, .06 a pill) $6
Cranberry 90 pills, 400 mg (90 days, .13 a pill) $13
In the morning I take:
2 Cinnamon pills (this is for hormone headaches) 400 capsules, 1000mg (200 days, .02 a pill)- Walmart $9
Korean Panax Ginseng (general wellness, energy) 150 capsules, 100 mg (150 days, .06 a pill)- Walmart $9
Gingko Biloba (this is great for keeping my moods even keel) 90 capsules 120mg (90 days, .10 a pill) - Walmart $9
