This product almost killed me-RICE FLOUR (ARSENIC)
Generally, I don't write reviews but I don't want any to go through the scare that I went through or waste their money as I have. I read the first page of reviews regarding this product which all sounded great so I ordered it and I started taking this product without thinking there would be any side effects because Biotin is harmless, it's good for you but after taking it for almost 2 months, I ended up in the hospital. I was having tingling sensations (almost as if your hand and feet are asleep) and I had major headaches to the point where I couldn't lift my head. I thought it was just another migraine which I get maybe once or twice a year. I didn't think anything of it at first but it started to become more frequent, stronger and spreading throughout my body; mainly the left-hand side. When my face started, I knew something was wrong. The Doctor thought I may be having a stroke or possibly an aneurysm. When that was ruled out, they thought it was just migraines and stress. After a series of tests and medicines I had to write down all the vitamins and medications I was taking. I reread the label and realized that this has RICE FLOUR (ARSENIC) in it!! I also went back on Amazon, sorted reviews to less than 1 star and read that someone else started having joint pain, etc. possible side effects from this. I immediately stopped taking this product and within 3 days my symptoms eased up and at the end of the week, they didn't exist! Please, please be careful. I didn't ask for a refund or anything, I just wanted to put it out there. I am saying this is what happened to ME it may not happen to everyone, it may be a great product but this was my reaction to it.
