Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement and Water Retention

Relief for water retention
Q: I started taking bio-identical hormone replacement therapy several months ago and I already feel a tremendous amount of relief from my menopause symptoms. The only negative thing I have noticed is that I seem to be retaining a lot more water than usual. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to alleviate it?
Dr. Wright: I’m glad to hear of your success using bio- identical hormone replacement therapy. Water retention is a common side effect of estrogen treatment of any sort and can almost always be eliminated with extra vitamin B6. Try adding 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 twice daily to your current supplement program
