Works amazing but beware of Saw Palmetto and it's side effects!
I have been looking for different hair/skin/nails vitamins as I've been dealing with hair loss from various reasons (primarily stress and sudden weight loss from eating problems, which have since been fixed), and I've gone through more brands than I'd care for. I've only used these for a month and could see a major difference! My nails are 10x stronger than they were before and my hair does seem to be growing faster and more full. However, I've noticed I've been developing a lot of uncontrollable acne despite always having clear skin. I've never had acne issues unless it's hormone related, either. In looking through some of the reviews and then reading a few articles online about Saw Palmetto side effects, I have boiled my acne issue down to these vitamins. I'm pretty bummed I have to stop taking them, but I can tell my body is getting angry with itself because my estrogen levels are being altered in some way (its a long story but I have a non-cancerous cycst in my breast that gets inflamed/bigger/more painful the more my estrogen and testosterone levels are affected). Just be aware of the side effects and listen to your body! It's a great vitamin but I think people with estrogen issues/on birth control should look more into it
*UPDATE* I stopped taking these a few days prior to the original review, about 3ish weeks ago from now (02/09/23), and my acne was mostly gone at about week 1.5- which imo is a pretty fast turn around. So, my theory of these guys affecting my hormones seems to have some truth! At least for me of course lol
