Hi Andrew,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, although we are of course disappointed to hear Menopause Formula hasn't been effective for your wife. This isn’t something we hear often when it comes to our products - we really strive to make the best supplements that nourish, balance and ultimately make a noticeable difference.
We would love to discuss further via customer@equilondon.com to check how long your wife has been taking the formula and furthermore, if the recommended daily dose of 6g/6 capsules per day have been consumed.
It is worthwhile mentioning, from a nutritional perspective, changes to diet and supplements can take time to manifest in the body. Many people report better energy quickly (sometimes they notice this more when they stop taking the products - e.g. their energy dips and they really notice it) but for others it can take more time. This is also the case for hormones - it doesn’t happen overnight but as nutrient levels build up, the gut is supported and adrenals/thyroid etc start to work more in harmony, you then can notice benefits. Of course we don’t know if this is the case for your wife, but it is possible and worth considering.
We aren’t trying to convince her to continue taking it, but we did just want to note that though she may not be feeling a difference, all of the carefully combined nutrients we have blended together will have been doing her body good.
Best wishes,
The Equi Team
“I’ve been taking the tablets for two weeks now and have yet to see any results.
Six tablets per day seems a lot.
I’ll keep going and see if there’s any improvement”
Hi Jo,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we appreciate your honest feedback.
If you take Equi consistently you can expect to notice a number of positive impacts quite quickly, however this will depend on the person and their specific needs, circumstances and health. We generally expect energy to increase quickly, along with concentration, alertness and immunity. If you take the Beauty Formula daily, skin often feels brighter and more dewy within 2 weeks, with spots and troublesome skin clearing up in around 4-6 weeks.
Our 1 month long trial with 30 participants demonstrated:
- 80% reported better energy levels within 3 weeks
- 85% reported brighter, clearer skin within 3 weeks
With all of our products (both the powders and capsules), it is absolutely fine to split the dosage. Say having half at breakfast and half at lunchtime. Would that perhaps help? It would not impact the effectiveness of the product.
Best wishes,
The Equi Team
“Good company to deal with, quick delivery. I bought the menopause capsules first after recommendation from a friend along with the oil. I agree the pipette is frustrating to use and of poor quality. However by mistake I bought the menopause formula for the second month and I have to say it tastes absolutely disgusting, and find it hard to keep it down if I’m honest. I have quickly changed my repeat back to capsules. Not sure it is working yet so going to give it more time in the hope it works like others have reported”
Hi,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
We're really sorry to hear about the issues you faced with our Menopause Oil Edition pipette and sorry to hear that you struggled with the taste of our Menopause Formula.
For maximum taste and smoothness, we recommend it is consumed in a shaker, however if you don’t have one then it should still mix well in a glass. Can I check first if you weighed out the 6g? That can make a big difference. The amount of liquid it needs mixing with can vary from one person to another (dependent on preference), but typically we say 200-250ml. Some try with coconut water or a plant-based milk.
This being said, the capsule version sounds like it is be better suited to you and we hope you begin to notice the benefits very soon.
Best wishes,
Mercedes
“I did not receive an order confirmation or dispatch notification. However, I received an apology and the supplements arrived very soon after an error was identified.”
“I took equi london beauty but wasn't sure that it was right for me considering that I am a man and much of the advertising was related to menopause and periods. After 7 or 8 weeks it hasn't helped with my acne and continue to feel too tired to go to the gym. On the positive side I do feel more relaxed and a better sense of well being. I'm not sure if this is the placebo effect. I'm sure this works better for other people but it isn't for me”
“Haven’t had them for long but I would say the bottle looks half empty when you get them - I thought it was a mistake at first. Let’s see what they do for my skin though!”
“Why the powder? Tablets would be easier! Too many emails - I’ve only had the supplement a week and being asked (this is the third time) to review is unrealistic as no supplement works that quickly!”
“I really like the supplement as it has folate instead of folic acid. Unfortunately the smell and taste exacerbate the nausea. It is a struggle to swallow these which wouldn’t be so bad if you only had to take one but four is a lot! I won’t be repurchasing for that reason but would love if the tablets could be reduced to one or two a day.”
“I was a bit apprehensive about buying the menopause supplement as I have tried many over the counter supplements to help ease my menopausal symptoms over the years to no avail. I cannot take HRT due to past medical conditions. Anyway, Ive been using it for 3 weeks now & have already noticed changes in my mood, anxiety & hot flushes. The symptoms haven’t completely gone but hey it’s early days. I am yet to see improvements in my energy levels & body aches & pains. However, I am hopeful that these will also ease in time. So for now I’m gonna give it a 3/4 star as there’s along way to go & I also think The supplement is very expensive for a months supply.”
“Unfortunately I had the same issue with this supplement as I have with many others of the same ilk. I have IBS - but not of the constipation type - and this upset my stomach far too much. I think it must help people who struggle to go but no good for me as I have urgency issues. I was mostly interested in trying it for my adult / post menopausal acne”
