Causes Severe Liver Damage
DON’T USE THESE! I cannot stress this enough - these pills are DANGEROUS. My husband is currently hospitalized with severe liver damage and the doctors finally narrowed it down to one of the active ingredients in these pills - Fo-Ti. Please do not use these. My husband is only in his 30s, a non-drinker, non-smoker, doesn’t use drugs. He began using these in August - completely healthy, he thought the collagen was beneficial- since he was on the Keto and lost a lot of weight. About 2 weeks ago he suddenly lost his appetite completely, felt generally blah, dropped 10 pounds in under a week, last week his skin and eyes became jaundiced. He went to the doctor a few days late finally who sent him right on to the ER, they couldn’t figure it out, transferred him to a hospital that specializes in liver conditions and finally today a doctor who biopsied his liver and researched these pills said these pills damaged his liver. DON’T USE THEM!! We’re still not sure the damage can be reversed. Since he’s been off the collagen for 3 days now his symptoms are starting to ease up. Please please don’t buy these!! And if you know anyone who does use them please tell them what happened to my husband!
