For years, I have suffered, with menopausal symptoms.  Honestly, I experienced everything from hot flashes,

mild depression, anxiety, heart palpitations, irritability, lethargy and mood swings.  The symptoms were so unpredictable. Initially, I couldn’t imagine why I felt so blasted “crappy.”

LIFEROOT HERB RELIEVE HOT FLASH MISERY!

For one thing, according to studies, on the average you are only absorbing approximately 10% of the pill or capsule vitamin. The rest of the vitamin goes in the toilet and flushed to where ever waste is routed. “If the pill is compacted too tightly when it is manufactured, or the coating is too thick, it will pass through your body without dissolving.  Many vitamin pills contain questionable ingredients such as binders, fillers or preservative that the body cannot use, absorb or digest.  The sewer system in Tacoma, WA, “filters out more than 250, pounds of undigested vitamin pills every week.”
