      Hi Paula 

      Pyridoxine is Vit B6 

      For HRT is also helps absorption of the HRT

      Hi Paula 

      meant to put 

      B6 ( pyridoxine) also helps absortion of HRT .. ( its good for HRT) 

      also good for non HRT users for anxiety, energy etc etc 

      yes, it can get confusing 😏

      Hi ang

      Menapol plus i take, but I am still undecided about it, when i have finished mine, i shall stop taking, then see if things get worse again or even better after a few months without it.

      Been using it about 6 months now .

      I personally find Maca 5.1 the best for me and I take that too.

    I feel as though none of mine are helping either. They were at first but it seems like they've stopped.

      Ok so I need to purchase more B vitamins then??  How much of the B12 vitamin should I take?

      As for the weight gain I'm really confused why I'm putting it on now.  When I first went on HRT I lost over a stone without trying!!  Maintained my weight up until now when it's gradually creeping back on.  Damn hormones!!

      Forgot to say

      B6 my doc actually prescribed me B6 ten years ago for peri...

      long story.. Back then he didnt explain how much they would help and i didnt bother with them, but now after realising and suffering some anxiety a year ago, i started B6 again properly never miss and they have helped me no end

      It cured my anxiety very quickly ..

      any vits or supplements need time to kick in and must be taken daily with out fail and need some patience ...

      Thanks Jay, so if I increase my B vits do you think that will improve my low mood?  May try the B vits first rather than the St John's Wort.

      Don't know what us women would do without your help and advice....thanks again xx
