Why us
Made for one stage of life, and honest about it
Four rules we set before the first bottle was filled.
-
Every amount printed
No proprietary blend. Brands hide amounts when the amounts are small.
-
No medical claims
We say what it supports. Not what it treats.
-
Cautions on the page
Black cohosh, licorice and dong quai carry real ones. They are in the FAQ, not the small print.
-
Weeks, not mornings
Botanicals build. We would rather say slow than say fast and be wrong.
90 days. An empty bottle is fine.
Questions
Questions
The questions, including the awkward ones
Including the three that carry real cautions.
Including the three that carry real cautions.
Yes, and deliberately. Soy isoflavones, red clover and dong quai are all plant compounds that interact with estrogen receptors. That is the basis of the formula, not a side note.
If you have a hormone-sensitive condition, or a personal or family history of one, speak to your doctor before taking it. Same if you are pregnant, nursing or trying to conceive.
There are 160 mg of black cohosh root extract in every two capsules. There have been rare reports of liver problems in people taking black cohosh. A causal link has not been established, and the reports are rare against very wide use, but you should know before you buy rather than after.
Do not take it if you have a liver disorder. Stop and speak to your doctor if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or pain in your upper abdomen.
There are 150 mg of licorice root extract in every two capsules. Taken regularly, licorice can raise blood pressure and lower potassium.
If you have high blood pressure, a heart condition, kidney disease, or you take medication that affects potassium such as a diuretic, speak to your doctor before taking this.
It can. Dong quai may increase the effect of blood-thinning medication such as warfarin, and of antiplatelet drugs.
If you take an anticoagulant or antiplatelet, or you have surgery booked, speak to your doctor before taking this and tell your surgeon what you are on.
Two capsules a day, with food, at whatever time you will actually remember. Consistency matters more than the hour. Sixty capsules a bottle, which is thirty days.
No. It is bovine gelatin, so this is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. It also contains soy. Both are on the label and both are here rather than buried in small print.
There is nothing in this bottle for sleep, energy, focus, weight or bone. No magnesium, no melatonin, no vitamin D, no ashwagandha. It is eleven botanicals aimed at hormonal balance, and that is the whole of it.
If you want something for sleep, buy something for sleep.
第二春, di er chun, is the Chinese term for menopause and the years after it. It translates as second spring. Not an ending, a second season.
The name and the herbs come from the same place. Dong quai, licorice and wild yam are staples of Chinese herbal practice.
Ask your doctor. We are not going to guess at that for you, and anyone who does is guessing.
Email us within 90 days of delivery and we refund it. Finish the bottle first, an empty one is fine. Do not post anything back, and keep whatever bottles are left.
