I used it for almost 3 months. It helped with being hot and the vaginal dryness. Well, after going 6 months without menstruating, I began having periods again. Longer and super heavy! Worse and worse every month. My doctor told me there must be something in it acting like estrogen. Advised me to stop taking it since there wasn't a full disclosure of what's really in it.

I bought this and used it for two months. I took it to get rid of hot flashes and night sweats. It made them worse. I called the company and they said I was not giving it enough time. So took it another month. Then told them I would like to cancel. I still got a shipment on the tenth of March and was told it had to be back in there hands on the 21st. Also had to do all kinds of stuff to package to send back. But they were willing to offer me a 20% discount if I did not want to go through the hassle of sending it back! What a scam.

I've taken this product for one year and I stopped because I was afraid of long-term side effects. So I kept my two full bottles for the month of November 2017, and on December 13, 2017 (one month later), I went into the hospital with kidney dehydration and was going into renal failure. My kidneys were at stage 3.
We have no idea what caused it, and I'm not saying Profemin did it, and I'm not saying it didn't, we just don't know, so I'm afraid to take it anymore. It was a very scary feeling for me and my family to be laying in the hospital bed for 4 days, waiting for my kidneys to go back to normal and thinking I needed dialysis. But thanks to God, my kidney went from stage 3 back to stage 1, back to normal.
So my question is, should I risk taking my last 2 bottles? Not being sure if Profemin caused my kidney failure or not, I wish I had the answer because I don't like these hot flashes. Please help me make the right decision.

I have taken two per day as directed for three weeks, and absolutely ZERO relief! Complete rip-off! The CitraTrim pill that you can add, also a rip-off. It doesn’t do anything for belly fat! I’m sending it all back for a refund and got a prescription from my regular doctor for 900mg of gabapentin per day that is taken at night, and it totally helps! It was $6 per bottle with my insurance. I recommend going to your doctor.

Hi Fonda,
Thank you for the review. We are sorry that Profemin and Citratrim did not meet your individual needs. It is a herbal supplement and everyone’s body absorbs at different rates and reacts differently as well. You might have just needed to take them longer, which is why we send a 60-day supply. We did receive your return and the pending delayed payment was canceled as well as future shipments. We are glad that you reached out to your healthcare provider to get what was right for you!

I ordered Profemin for the trial offer. They advertised that for shipping and handling of $9.95, you could get two bottles of the product. I received the product and a notice from my bank that Profemin requested $79.00.
I called customer service and was told that the trail was not the full cost of the product. I told them I didn't approve of the selling tactic and wanted to return the product.
I sent the product back and a month later the product was returned to me because there wasn't a "return code."
I tried to use the customer service email and only got the (not sent) error. I tried to call customer service many times and can't seem to connect with anyone.

Hi Madeline,
Thank you for the review. We are sorry for any inconvenience. The trial offer is s/p upfront and the balance due in 30 days unless you contact us to return the product. We would typically not return an order without a return code so we definitely need to investigate this further. Can you please email marmstrong@idealliving.com with the name and zip code used when placing the order so we can find exactly what happened.

Ordered this product as a trial offer and when it arrived there was an invoice for $99.80 starting on October 3rd. By the date the product came, I had 3 weeks only to try the 30-day trial before I incurred on recurrent full payments. For this "trial" shipment I paid $17.90 (more than the usual cost of this non-overnight shipment).
I called customer service to complain and cancel and was instructed to return all the bottles received at my cost. In the end, I wasted my money in shipments of a product advertised and promised to be a free trial but I definitely canceled this scam (I hope so).
In summary, the marketing practices of this company are misleading, deceiving and fraudulent because the prospective customer has to pay elevated postal fees to get the trial and pay again to return it without any trial to avoid further high costs bills for a product that probably does not work at all. I hope this review is useful for other women who desperately need to relieve the climacteric nuisances like me and are desperate looking for a remedy just to be lured in this scam.

Thanks Frances for the review.
We show that you ordered on 8/27 the Profemin Ultra trial for $9.95 s/p and added a bottle of Citratrim for $7.95 s/p hence the initial charge of $17.90. Tracking shows it was delivered on 9/5-usually we ask to allow 5-7 business days for delivery but with Labor Day there was a short delay for delivery. From the delivery date to the charge date of 10/3 is exactly one month. We typically try to add additional time to factor in delivery time and any occurrences that might have that are not “normal” ie-weather.
Yes, we do ask for our product back if you do not wish to take it and/or pay for it-which is part of the 30-day free trial. Return postage is the responsibility of the customer as you changed your mind. Per your comments, you have not tried it and we know that it has worked for thousands of woman to relieve the pre and menopausal symptoms. We are sorry that the offer was not clear to you and that you did not want to try it.
