It's True, Your Favorite Vitamins Sold Its Soul...
I've been using New Chapter Every Woman's One Daily Multi Vitamin for over 5 years. I first learned about them when my sister was taking the prenatal formula during her pregnancy. She recommended this brand to me, and I've been hooked ever since. I loved these vitamins so much that I'd buy them for friends. I even ordered the 40+ formula regularly for my mom. That's all stopped. I did see the many user warnings about Proctor and Gamble's acquisition of New Chapter vitamins - but I didn't think I could possibly be affected. I was wrong. For the past 3 months, I've been suffering from unusual symptoms: night sweats, bloating, bad breath, foul-smelling urine, and painful "contractions" in the uterus. I've never had a urinary tract infection before, but I suspected that's what it was. I went to my gynecologist to get examined. There were no signs of infections from viruses nor bacteria. She recommended that I go off my vitamins and supplements. I thought she was crazy! How could my favorite vitamins cause all these "hormonal imbalance-like" symptoms? I've discontinue use of the New Chapter Vitamins for 3 days now and the symptoms have completely dissipated. I feel so stupid. I should have stopped these months ago. God only knows what are now in these vitamins and the possible damage its done to my kidneys, and liver. I finished my 90 day supply and I had recently ordered another bottle of 120. I will not be taking these anymore. Has anyone else experienced unusual symptoms within the past 3-6 months? Please share...
