BE CAREFUL
I bought the liquid form and used it for almost 3 weeks and had to stop because of terrible side effects. I am a healthy 37 year old woman of 3 kids and wanted to try it out to increase the volume of my hair and smooth out my skin. I will say this however, after the first week of using it as described on the package, 5 drops mixed in 1/4 cup of juice twice a day, I did notice a huge difference with my hair not falling out as much in the shower. I was excited that it was working so quickly! I also noticed that the discomfort I had been having for years in my knees had disappeared instantly! It was wonderful.... Until I hit the 2nd week of taking this product. I started feeling anxious, having heart palpitations, stomach feeling full all the time, no appetite, gut reanching discomfort, irregular bowl movements, tired, depressed & the worst part... The never ending NAUSEA. It was horrible! I thought maybe I was coming down with a stomach bug of some sort and continued taking the recommended dose of Biosil and just dealt with the awful discomfort for almost a whole week more, until my instincts told me to do some research on side effects of biosil. I'll tell ya, the company does a great job HIDING the negative reviews and the actual truth about the side effects. But, I found some side effect info and my symptoms fit exactly. I have now not taken biosil for a full 30 hours and have noticed a difference already. I can finally eat again and the nausea had subsided and I feel normal again! My bowls are rumbling like crazy with a lot of gas (sorry... TMI, I know. But hoping it will help!) probably because my body is trying to get rid of the biosil from my body.
All in all, just be careful! If you feel weird or different in any way, with ANY supplement, STOP taking it and DO YOUR RESEARCH and BE CARFUL! Always remember, Some vitamins and/or supplements can do more damage than help. Take care!
