Some people take them when they have hormonal type problems like PMT or during the menopause and they find that they help for that. I have also tried them for a while but didn't see any noticeable difference, but that was just my experience.

I never noticed a difference either! I tried Starflower oil as well. I must have sunk gallons of the stuff in hope. Everyone is different though. There must be some reason they give them out Love and Hugs xx

I cannot talk about the menopause, although I am sure I had a version of it! This is like every other remedy; it depends how deep the anxiety is. I have heard good reports but, as ella says, some do not find it much use. Probably trial and error is the best way. Best wishes. jonathan.
