Nature's Way Raspberry Leaf, Traditional Support for Women's Health*, 640 mg per 2-Capsule Serving, Vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified, 100 Capsules (Packaging May Vary)

So I have been stuck in a PCOS and peri menopausal almost 30 day bleed. This stuff has actually got my uterus doing what it’s supposed to be doing, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m definitely gonna keep this as a daily supplement.

Took these every day leading up to my birth with two kids. I feel like it helped make my labor move quicker.

I am in perimenopause and have had wicked periods. Because I am stubborn, I never read the directions and only took these over my period. NOPE. So then I realized these are a daily supplement. First month I took them daily I saw a huge shift. No crime scene periods. No cramps. I don’t have to take ibuprofen at all. It didn’t shorten my cycle but it definitely lightened it.

I gave this a five star rating because this works very fast when I have breakthrough menapausal heavy bright red bleeding that comes on suddenly with or without giant clots. I take two of these and for me within an hour or two the bleeding has slowed to a trickle then stops. I don't take these all the time only when needed to affect this heavy bright red bleeding which is definitely not normal. These have done the trick each time probably 4 times. Regular menstral bleeding is not stopped, but the this heavy gushing bleeding is stopped.To give you an idea of the other symptoms that I have been dealing with so that if you are dealing with similiar issues maybe these Raspberry leave capusules will work as well for you as for me.I have chocked up many symptoms to being the early signs of menopause. I am in my 50s. I now believe that I have secondary adrenal and or thyroid issues that have not been diagnosed that people were telling me were just part of aging so I was fairly helpless to stop the symptoms that were to be expected. 5 years ago, my hair began to fall out in clumps in the shower and in the hairbrush. My silky shiny hair turned dry and lifeless. At first I just began washing it less and less until I didn't need to wash it but once a week (down from every day). My general energy level dropped dropped dropped, exercise did not net me muscle improvement. And I was gaining weight. My hairline was receding which I didn't notice until it began to get very thin over my temples in a v shape that was noticeable when I wore my hair pulled back.(Maybe two months ago) I have started taking Jarrow Adrenal Optimizer tablets and have increased my energy by leaps and bounds from the first capsule. (I soon upped the dose to double twice a day. Now I am cutting back to one twice a day, I feel I don't need so much now.) I have also started massaging in Magnesium Oil (MO) into my scalp and my hair that had been falling out (read my review of Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes that I purchased and made my own MO) my hair has stopped falling out and is coming back in quickly and thickly over the temples. No longer is there a pile of dropped hairs on the floor when I brush nor a is my hairbrush full of hair that has come out and my hairline that had changed is coming back in strong. (I am very happy)As I am getting healthier, I do still occassionally have the breakthrough bleeding and this raspberry stops the breakthrough bleeding for me quickly. I just take it for a couple of days at most when there is a problem. And I take the raspberry capsules randomly every now and then throughout the month, just a capsule here and there in the morning. (I don't know if you if your are supposed to take this longer than as needed or not, so if someone wants to let me know that, please do comment)

Bought this for supporting reproductive health and menstrual comfort.What I like • The raspberry leaf is known for its potential benefits in supporting uterine health and menstrual regulation. • The capsules are easy to swallow and convenient to take. • Made with quality ingredients, offering a natural option for those seeking herbal supplements.What could be better • The dosage may not be strong enough for those who need more potent effects. • It might take some time to notice noticeable results, as with most herbal supplements. • The scent of the capsules is a bit strong, which may not be pleasant for some.Bottom line: A solid, natural supplement for supporting reproductive health, but may take time to show noticeable benefits. Perfect for those looking for a gentle herbal remedy, but consider higher-potency options if you're looking for faster or more significant effects.

To start with, I'm semi-crunchy (just for background). I have three amazing little girls 6 years and under at the time of this review. I've had three c-sections and I have Pelvic Adhesion Disease. Fellas, you don't need to read any further unless you're into the sordid details of Aunt Flo.I've suffered from horribly heavy periods for the past year or so. You know those super-long-only-good-for-overnight pads? Yeah, I'd fill one of those front to back and side to side in an hour or less, day or night, for the first 3 days of my period. My husband and I decided to try hormonal birth control pills at the recommendation of my OB/GYN (we use natural family planning, so this was a switch for us). It worked great for the bleeding, but it wreaked havoc on my (until then undiagnosed) depression. Also, I'm not a huge fan of putting synthetic hormones or chemicals in my body if I don't have to. Fast forward a couple of months, and a fellow member of a crunchy momma group on Facebook told me she suffered from the same issue and her holistic OB recommended Red Raspberry Leaf supplements. I figured the least that could happen is it wouldn't work, right? What did I have to lose?I took the supplement as directed - one capsule twice daily. The flavor: like eating grass. No joke. But it's nothing that a little water can't wash out of your mouth. At least I knew it was fresher than not, right? And who doesn't love the aroma of fresh grass in the dead of winter? Anyway, I took these babies for two months. And those two months' periods were TERRIBLE. SO MUCH bleeding. And tissue. So much tissue passage. It was absolutely disgusting. I literally couldn't go anywhere for the first two or three days of my period for those months - gushes (beyond disgusting, I know) and the subsequent massive leaks were a regular occurrence. I had been warned this might happen as the red raspberry leaves basically cause one's uterus to completely shed its lining (like what's supposed to happen during a normal period) and rebuilds it from the ground up. Think of it as a seriously intense spring cleaning of your internal lady parts.We're now three months on, and my periods are actually lighter than they've EVER been. Like, in my entire life. It's definitely taking some getting used to (in a good way). But, ladies, this stuff works miracles. I now can probably use one of those super-long-only-good-for-overnight pads over an entire day on the heaviest days of my period and not fill it. So will these magical little capsules change your life? Possibly not. But they're worth every second of the two months' worth of nastiness they bring on. And they will definitely change your QUALITY of life.
