This product contains an herbal supplement: Fo-Ti extract.
I was looking forward to taking this particular supplement as I want to improve my hair growth. After taking it for approx. two weeks, I read all the ingredients on the back of the bottle. The last one listed, Fo-Ti herbal extract was one I was not familiar with. I therefore researched this herb and learned that is causes harm to the liver if taken by someone with liver problems, present or past. Further, it alter estrogen levels.
Although Fo-Ti is listed on the front of the bottle, I find the lack of information regarding this herb to border on selling a harmful product.
I was on a liver transplant list for years and sustained liver damage that will last for the rest of my life. Upon reading the literature about this herb, I was taken aback and called my physician. Further, I also take hormones and, because the herb causes estrogen changes, I stopped taking this supplement. Hormonal changes have been found to cause breast cancer; my mother died of this disease.
I'm appalled that you sell this product without adding warnings to the label. Once I have my liver enzymes checked and they have changed, I will take action against the company.
