Solgar Botanical Female Complex 30 Vegetable Capsules

Jase: What’s in the women’s botanical blend?

Kimmi: Red clover, sage, hops, flaxseed, liquorice, broccoli, turmeric, dandelion, grape seed and schisandra, plus a 50mg “Base Blend” whose contents are not explained in the panel.

Jase: The old copy also names kelp, cherry and beetroot.

Kimmi: They are not separately listed in the supplied panel, so the current bottle needs to confirm whether they sit inside that base blend.

This formula is not intended to treat hot flushes, night sweats, sleep, mood, hormonal, menopausal, cardiovascular, liver or endocrine conditions.

Directions

Do not use until the dosage-form and ingredient uncertainties are checked. The title says vegetable capsules, while the supplied directions say 1 tablet daily.
