Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi, Gaylynn - Wouldn't you know I re-loaded my supplement containers for the next 2 weeks yesterday and threw away my Maca bottle, so I don't know how many milligrams it was. But, I think when I went to the health food store, they all had the same amount. I take 2 a day. I started taking Vitamin E too because I'm taking fish oil and heard I needed it as well. How much Vitamin E do you take? I didn't know it would help too with the night sweats. Those hot flashes are something else aren't they? Covers on, covers off, all night long!! LOL Love, Melinda ) Re: Hi Everyone (Melinda) Hi Melinda, I a member of the little life change club too! Was wondering about the Maca and how much you take. I want to try that too. I think Karma mentioned Vitamin E a while back so I added that to my regimen. After weeks of miserable night sweats, I have had about 5 good nights in a row. Since I don't sleep much as it is, I feel so much better when it is not disrupted. I really appreciate knowing what works for others, thanks for sharing!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi, Wanda - Maca is an herb that comes from a root, I think in South America. It's really helped me a lot. They call it an adaptogenic herb, meaning, it will help balance you in whatever direction you need. Love, Melinda ) Re: Hi Everyone (Melinda) Hi GayLynn, Well our little change club is growing. : ) I never heard of Maca; what exactly is it? Years ago my Mom took Vit. E for her hot flashes and it helped her. Most of my hot flashes (I think) are over; yet I'm not 'quite' there yet. : ) Great to see a post from you, Love, Wanda > > Hi Melinda, > > I a member of the little life change club too!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks Melinda, I will look at the dosage recommendations on the bottle and go by that. I take 400 iu of the Vitamin E. I have not made any other changes to anything so I'm pretty sure that the E is helping me. The " covers on, cover off " comment just made me laugh! So true! Thanks again, GayLynn The Family <neilmeltx@...> wrote: Hi, Gaylynn - Wouldn't you know I re-loaded my supplement containers for the next 2 weeks yesterday and threw away my Maca bottle, so I don't know how many milligrams it was.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi Wanda! I see that Melinda has given you the scoop on the Maca. I looked it up after she mentioned it and plan on trying it--I had never heard of it before but it looks interesting. Will let you know my report in a few weeks. Have a happy weekend!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 You know what, though? I don't know about you ladies, but I wouldn't trade being this age for anything. I feel more fit in many ways, waaaayyyyy smarter, and I'm having lots more fun than I ever did in my 20s (not that my 20s weren't good, because they were!). I just think we women are coming into our own at this age and from what I hear, it all just keeps getting better.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I feel the same way Melinda. I am loving my 50's and I am free to be me--I don't worry nearly as much about what other people think and just am happy to be where I am.
