Conclusion – Integrative Therapeutics AM/PM Menopause Formula Review
In conclusion to our review, AM/PM Menopause Formula by Integrative Therapeutics offers an interesting approach to treating menopause symptoms with its separate morning and evening tablets, and it sounds like a good idea to use specific ingredients at different times of the day for maximum benefit. Indeed, there are other competitor products that utilize two different pills as well. Also, we found a number of positive customer reviews stating that the product worked for them.
However, we would have liked to have seen more information from the manufacturer about clinical research that backs up the claims of their product. We were also alarmed by the few reported instances of side effects and an allergic reaction. Finally, as it seems that this product does not come with a guarantee, we might suggest turning to other options that will offer you the chance to get your money back if the supplement does not work for you.
