Has anyone tried this?
It seems a tad expensive but its supposed to be good for dryness off mucus membranes.

My eyes itch and feel dry a lot. Blackthron = sloe?
Buckthorn is grown near the coast and has orange berries?

Sloes grow on Blackthorn, otherwise Sloe Gin would have done
I have dry eyes - haven't been able to wear contacts for years. My mouth is drier too.

Daily. Sadly, this works out to be 25p per day on the H&B website. Of course, if you know it works, it would be worth it, but I suspect I will just have to buy a big packet and decide for myself.
I still have half a jar of acidophilus and two vitD sprays (3 for 2 offer - don't work for me) and B6 and magnesium (seem ok - will probably use all of them.)

I have been on a trial for this for three months so a free supply they are wanting to put the results in a medical paper. My itchy sore eyes have gone my skin is good and I think possibly it's helping the nether regions. I will stay on it once the trial has finished. It's two pills a day twice a day for a month and then one pill twice a day thereafter so not cheap no.

I 'think' I was doing well on it, then changed to a cheaper brand - bad move. Just about to order the more expensive one (again) to see how it goes, good reviews on Amazon for meno ladies.

I used it for dry eye problems which it did seem to benefit - the eyes certainly became less dry and sore and I hadn't changed anything else, so assume it was the sea buckthorn helping. Not sure whether or not it had any effect on the vaginal area, but certainly not enough as I have to use Ovestin cream now.

Have very dry skin on hands and feet and hoped it might help that a bit, certainly stopped the dry eyes and the other areas down below are very moist , however it hasnt helped the dry skin, the omega is supposed to be good for you too but cant recall why,

I think Pharma Nord are the best ones. Shop around though, my local health shop was the cheapest they had them 'on offer' at £18.99 for 90. £17.06 for 60 on Amazon. I tried Natures Aid which are cheaper but they did nothing.
No side effects and at the moment I am taking 2 a day of the Pharma Nord and 2 of the Natures Aid to use them up.
