Hey guys, I just started reading a very interesting book about hormonal changes and how to balance our levels of estrogen (one of the main causes for melasma). Its called The Hormone Cure: Reclaim Balance, Sleep, Sex Drive and Vitality Naturally with the Gottfried Protocol .Its worth reading.

FYI

Hey guys, I´ve just had the best bargain everrrr!!! I was looking for a cheap place online to buy Pycnogenol and other supplements and bumped into this website called http://www.iherb.com/ in the US. I used this promo code QJR840 and got 10 dollars off my purchase. Shipping is very cheap, especially if you (like me) live in Europe and happen to find the cheapest and best products in the US. The only problem is that you can only use this code once. Good luck!!
