“I've been using this product for one month and I have felt a subtle change. I bought this mainly for my anxiety due to perimenopause. I take this, along with some essential oils and listening to some calming audio clips, has helped. I will continue using as I had read that it may take up to two months to see any significance. I like the product because it contains products that are natural and should help with my symptoms.”

Solidago Complex tincture

Customer rating:

1st August 2019

“I developed bladder inflammation that lasted a couple of months. I felt urgency and a feeling that I did not empty my bladder completely. I also had some pain in the bladder, it was a feeling of heat and burning. I increased my water intake and that helped with the pain but it was a very small improvement. My osteopath recommended me to take Solidago. I started taking it and I immediately felt so much better. I am back to normal and I am so happy because I thought that this pain was going to become chronic and I was never going to feel good again. I am still taking the drops to make sure the inflammation never comes back again. I am thankful for my osteopath's recommendation and for A Vogel.”
