Hi Benj do you take your Trimbo every 12 hoursive been on Trimbo since 2018 well im on Trimbo next now since last year but I've not had problems wither of them I actually have my alarm set fir 6.45am and 6.45.pm excataly 12 hours between the doses one of my neighbours are also on Trimbo like you she said after a few days she felt it wasn't helping so I asked if she takes it every 12 hours on the dot so she started doing that and it's helped her sorry for long post just thought if you give it a try dead on the 12 hours it should start to feel the benefit good luck

Hi! I have been taking Trimbow for over a year now, with no problems. It does take a while to get into your system, 2,3 or 4 weeks, we all vary! Give it a go, it has really helped me xx
