I’ve had heavy periods ever since puberty, and because of that I tend to be anemic…sometimes. Well I thought that’s just what happens with some women and I never thought to really try and fix my situation…..until I spoke with my cousin. She said her cycle was only 3 days and light, so that made me think!!! Why I am putting myself through this there has to be something out there to help with a heavy flow, now mind you I’m 34 and it’s no where as bad as the other ladies stories I read, but bad enough to try something, so my first time trying I only used it 1x a day with just 3 pills in the morning, my cycle that is heavy and normally lasts 7-8 says lasted for 5, and that was only taking 3 pills for 1 day, this time I’m going to try the 3 pills 2x a day for my whole cycle and give you guys an update, but all in all I am very pleased with this product!

It worked wonders for me. I used to be afraid to leave the house on the 2nd day of period because of super heavy ‘downpour’. I started taking Slow Flow 5 days prior to my period, 3 capsules two times a day. What an amazing product! This time I had a very light period compared to what I was used to, no downpours on 2nd day, completely finished on the 4th day. I also noticed less bloating and PMS symptoms while taking this supplement. Will definitely buy again.

I’m 46 yrs old and never had issues with my cycle until…. Jan 2018! Then everything went haywire! (yay pre-menopause) After being 2 weeks late, (freakout moment) my cycle lasted 27 days! Yes, I bled for 27 days straight! Ugh!
It got so bad, I was going thru an overnight pad EVERY hour! With clots the size of my hand (palm). This was the only thing that helped slow things down enough for me to be able to leave the house.
I was glad to read such great reviews and gave Vitanica – Slow Flow a try. I took 3 pills every three hours. You can tell when it starts to wear off. Until I get thru “the change”, I have my cabinet stocked. It’s amazing!

Love Slow Flow and works very well! Works awesome with my daughter who, just like me, has extremely heavy and very painful menstrual cycles. Love this product and works well to slow the heavy bleeding, but still able to pass the uterine lining without being doubled over in pain, lightening pain down the legs, or back pain. Only light cramping and on those days we take Tylenol….We both have our lives back. Thank You Vitanica!

I’m perimenopausal, and missed an ovulation. Eventually I did get a period, which was too light for the duration, but instead of stopping after five days, it instead went to VERY heavy. I was dropping clots the size of golf balls. The menorrhagia went on for 29 days, and was stopped mainly because of the Slow Flow.
For two days I did three capsules every three hours. The first two doses made me bleed heavier, but at the third dose I started to slow, and by the fourth dose I knew it was for sure slowing down. The first day I only took the capsules during waking hours, but my flow came back with a vengeance by the next morning.
The second day I started on the three capsules every three hours again, and again the first two doses made me heavier, and by the fourth dose the flow was noticeably slowing. This time, I took three capsules every three hours, around the clock, setting alarms to wake me through the night. The next day I was going between a medium and light flow. I continued with the regimen until partly through the next day, when I went down to light and sometimes just spotting. I then began to slowly back off on the dosage, and the bleeding did not come back. Praise God! This is what I’ve prayed for.
In addition to the Slow Flow, I also was taking an extra retinol vitamin A supplement (as menorrhagic women are usually very deficient in vitamin A), and I was applying 100mg progesterone cream, three times a day.

If you are peri-menopausal and experiencing “flooding” with your menstrual cycles, I can honestly say this stuff absolutely works. I recommend taking 3 capsules as soon as you begin your cycle, or suspect you are about to start. Continue taking six capsules each day, divided into two doses. I generally only take it for a couple of days and that’s all I need, but you can take it longer.
This should only be used while you are experiencing symptoms and not on a daily basis. For severe flooding, I have found that also taking an NSAID (like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium) in addition to these herbal supplements will get it under control very quickly. You can also try putting an ice pack directly on your pelvic area, as the cold will help to shrink blood vessels and reduce the bleeding.
As a side note, if your case seems more extreme and happens with every menstrual cycle, then see a doctor. There may be other issues besides the normal annoyances of peri-menopause that are causing your symptoms.
If you are looking for a product that will help balance your hormones and can be taken long-term, then try something that will increase your progesterone levels such as Vitex agnus-castus (Chaste Tree Berry). In peri-menopause, our progesterone levels tend to be too low, and when the estrogen levels remain the same, the imbalance causes excessive bleeding during the menstrual cycle. That alone will probably not stop the flooding, but it will help it somewhat.
A word of caution: This supplement essentially acts to help clot blood, so anyone who is on blood thinner cannot take this product. Likewise, if there is any reason you have to avoid food or supplements that clot your blood, do not take this product. Even if you are not in this category, do not take this product except for the few days that you need to.

Decided to try this as my cramps were getting worse every month. I only take this for about a week before my period comes and this helps tremendously.

I had my period lasting two weeks.After taking this product for two days twice a day, my period finally stopped.My teenage daughter also took this during heavy period and it stopped her bleeding also! Amazing!!

I took it and it kind of made it worst. Everyone’s body is completely different. Please still try this product it may work for you.
When I took six it slowed down then i took 3 and it stopped working. Maybe you have to take 6 daily and then take 3 afterwards but I don’t know. Its says slow flow not stop flow so lol.

Fair price for a great product. It really helps slow the flow during these peri menopausal years. A must have for those who prefer natural options.

I have used this for two cycles so far and my bleeding is noticeably less. I was hoping that I would have what most people call a “normal” periods, but so far its still somewhat heavy and very painful but not severe like usual which I am very grateful. I called the company and they told me to take 3 capsules every 3-4 hours only during my period and I have been doing that. I will continue to try this and hope to G-d that this is the right messenger to help me.

Slow Flow took my daughters period away! She was heavily bleeding from having an irregular period for10 weeks straight.!The gynecologist suggested the pill to regulate her period. The pill has horrible side effects and we didn’t want her to go that route. My husband came across “Slow Flow” and I ordered it and after having her take it for 1 week her period stopped completely. We are now starting her 2nd bottle. I now wish it was apart of subscribe and save.

I have always had super heavy periods and they have gotten worse with menopause approaching. SloFlo is a game changer. I was VERY skeptical it would work but within a couple days it made my life bearable. I cannot imagine not taking these. I take 3 pills twice a day and it has saved me lots of problems with leaking and pads/tampons. I highly highly recommend it!

I suffer from PCOS and fibroids. One day last year I had the heaviest bleed of my life. Baseball sized clots. I’m deathly afraid of hormones because when I was on birth control I bled continuously for 3 months. My naturopath had me try Slow Flow last year and I took 3 pills twice a day. The bleeding nearly stopped. Everytime over the last year I started to bleed heavily, I would take these. I believe they have worked wonders for me. I went from being stuck in bed for an entire day with baseball sized clots to just having an hour or so of heavy bleeding until the Slow Flow kicked in. Amazing stuff.
