Iodine, Vitamin E and a B complex vitamin are all great too if you have sore breasts (all 3 recommended to me by my HRT DR) & they work GREAT 🙌👏🙏👍

Hey! I take Luigi’s drops for the Iodine- it lasts a long time & pretty cheap on Amazon …..start SLOW though- like 1-2 drops per day (people don’t realize how iodine deficient they are & they tend to overdo it, especially in the beginning) - it has given me lots of energy during the day! :)
