For Dietary Supplementation "Had terrible heartburn, but was told reflux (only had heartburn with my 4 pregnancies). Slowly starting to lose hair, thought, ok going through early menopause! Or the old saying, “you're stressed”! Never dawned on me to check out my supplements that my pain management doc recommended 6 months ago! The past month I’ve been losing so much hair that now I am feeling stressed. Thank you for the previous reviews!!! I’m stopping, and I’ll figure something else out."

"Have tried to take this numerous times but it makes me jittery, anxious, and hypoglycemic every time I take it. Tried reducing the dosage to 50 mg and same reaction. Just wanted to post this for others who might be affected in the same way. Not sure if it helped at all with neuropathy, didn't notice an improvement."
