Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

I tried grapeseed extract for menstrual flooding associated with fibroids. I took 3 - 90 mg tablets 4 times a day and my menstrual was the closest to normal it's been in years. Also mother tried it for the same problem and was well pleased! I am happy!
Grape Seed Extract Side Effects

I started taking Grape Seed Extract recently and soon afterward began having anxiety (which is not usually a problem for me in the same situations I am currently in), heart palpitations that I thought would never end on some days and when there were no regular heart palpitations it felt like there was congestion or rumbling in my chest (similar to what I might have felt if I was congested with bronchitis).
I didn't link it to the Grape Seed Extract right away, but after a week or so I stopped taking it and within 36 hours I was back to how I usually feel. I waited a few days and took it again, and that day and into the next the symptoms were back so I won't be taking it anymore.

You may have gotten hold of a contaminated batch. Perhaps trying another highly rated brand would make a difference.

Number one I suggest you you address your alcohol consumption. The amount you listed is excessive and terribly hard on your liver. I know from personal experience and that of thousands of others that when asked about our alcohol consumption we down play it, if that is what you've done then I suggest you contact Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) at your convenience. Your child deserves a sober mother and you deserve to be conscious and aware of your life. It passes quicker than you think my friend!
I was a young mother to three when I began my journey with AA. It's been 26 yrs and I love my life. This site is a great place to start your search towards health, but until you stop poisoning yourself with alcohol you chances are slim for long term good effects.
God Bless You! Kat

Varicose Veins

Not sure if this would help but....if memory serves me correct, back in the late 90's / early 2000's, my aunt was suffering from a severe case of varicose veins in both lower legs and her skin was discolored with swelling and much pain. This confined her to a wheelchair most of the time. So I got her a combination of grape seed extract and pine bark extract (Pycnogenol) and all her issues started getting better immediately, steadily but not completely. I don't recall how long she took it for. If you try this, please share your results good or bad.

Are you using Grape Seed Extract, or Grapefruit Seed Extract? They are two different things.

UTI
Posted by Lynn (California) on 03/26/2023 4 posts
I'm wondering if the original poster meant grapeFRUIT seed extract for UTI?? GSE is used for both Grapeseed Extract AND GrapeFRUIT Seed Extract but they are two different things. GrapeFRUIT Seed Extract is antibacterial so it would make sense that this is what was meant and not Grapeseed Extract. I'd research both and make your decision. I just wanted to bring this up in case someone sees it and may purchase the wrong thing. They are easy to confuse.
