For Dietary Supplementation "I began taking this product on 4/17/20 (2 gummies a day). I was in the ER by the 19th. I resumed taking the gummies on the 22nd, and after yet another episode, I sent an email to consumer affairs about this poison. If you look on sites like Amazon or Walmart, the reviews are terrific. Drugs.com was the only reliable review source, and I wish I would’ve found this site prior to my purchase. Symptoms started with skin irritation, insomnia, bloating, diarrhea, and a metallic taste in my mouth. Symptoms graduated to my entire face inflamed with hives, severe facial and neck swelling, dizziness, sudden drop in blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and frozen fingertips that graduated to my entire body trembling and headaches. I felt like I was on the verge of a heart attack. I’m healing now from the episode I had yesterday. I’m still not feeling too well, and I just pray that I can flush my system of this rubbish soon. I want NB held accountable for this toxin they’re selling!"

"Caused me to gain weight, migraines, bloating, and severe insomnia. Also experienced stomach pains and chest pains. Took me a while to figure out that the vitamins were the problem... once I stopped and detoxed, everything went back to normal."

For Dietary Supplementation "Nature's Bounty Hair Skin and Nails did nothing for my hair and nails. It made me very bloated as well, and I thought it was because I wasn't dieting enough, it kept my stomach big and juicy! On top of that, it made my throat tight and feeling swollen every time I took it. Something told me to look online, and I found the same reaction from many other people. Stay away from these vitamins!!! I just tossed a huge container in the trash where they belong!"

For Dietary Supplementation "After taking the first four pills, my stomach went crazy. Felt bloated and uncomfortable, sat on the toilet seven times but did not really move my bowels; by day's end, just liquid bits, and awaking the next morning saw leakage in my underpants. Very uncomfortable, and most of all, a very expensive way to find something that does not work. If anything, the tinnitus hissing sound was louder during sleep. I was better off using shiatsu acupressure and thinking positively. The company does refund your money. Proceed with caution is my advice."

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Extra Strength 5000mcg softgels on April 24th, 2021, every day except for a couple of days I forgot. I stopped taking them on June 19th, 2021. I didn’t change anything about my eating or my exercise habits. I drink more than enough water. I’ve had constant extreme bloat for the last couple of weeks and gained some fat on my stomach area I have never had before until I took these pills. My hair seems slightly thicker, but that can be from me just taking better care of my hair since I started the pills in general. I will never take these pills again and won't recommend them either."

For Dietary Supplementation "I’ve been feeling bloated and so uncomfortable in my upper stomach the past three weeks. I was assuming maybe I just needed to eat better and exercise, so I have been like a maniac doing that, and I still feel the same way. So tonight I decided what I have changed recently, and it was these supplements, so I googled it and found all these reviews, and I’m stopping these ASAP! So upset that I was thinking I almost had an ulcer or something of the sort!"

For Dietary Supplementation "It's been a week since I started feeling itchiness. I thought it was mosquito bites or bedbug bites or ant bites. But it was really a different kind of itchiness. Also, the swelling on my neck and feeling bloated all the time. I thought I just gained some weight, but looking into the scale, it's the same number. Then I stumbled upon this website. I am disappointed I bought and took this vitamin into my system. Never again will I buy a vitamin without going through it."

For Dietary Supplementation "I took these after I had my son in March 2016. I was losing so much hair, I was going bald. These made my hair grow so fast, and they tasted so good. I took them for about two months with no problems at all. My hair grew, my nails were stronger, a 10/10, so I decided to buy these again now in September 2017, and the taste is awful. When I take them, I get nauseous right away, and my head feels like it’s about to explode. My stomach feels full of water or bloated, it’s a weird sensation. It really sucks because I was really looking forward to taking these again."

For Dietary Supplementation "I took regularly for 30 days and no improvement. I am experiencing significant, painful gas and bloating since I began it. I stopped taking it 10 days ago, with no relief of stomach discomfort. Anyone else?"

For Dietary Supplementation "I have noticed a slight difference in my skin’s texture in just 1 week. It feels a bit firmer and more supple, my hair is softer and my nails are stronger. However, I’ve been suffering from bloating, water retention, minor headaches, and a yeast infection. I think it’s time to throw it away and move on."

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking these almost 2 years ago. At first, I didn't notice much. After a few months of taking them, I started noticing daily SOB, bloating, vertigo, and severe headaches 3-4 times a week (around the same time each day). I talked to my doctor about these symptoms, I got no answers other than I may have indigestion. I am relatively healthy, exercise each day, and eat healthy, etc. For me to be having these issues is a bit unusual. I started looking into my diet more, my environment, and my daily activities. I could not come up with anything other than these vitamins. After coming on here and reading the other comments, I stopped taking them immediately. It's been 8 weeks and I have not had a single issue. I am so happy that I figured this out. No, I do not take any other medications, so there was no reaction to address. And yes, I drink plenty of water (that is ALL I drink). I also took these with each meal. STAY AWAY FROM THESE! THEY SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE SHELVES."

"Been taking the Nature's Bounty Hair Skin & Nails gummies for about 2 weeks. Head is itching like CRAZY all over. Nails are growing great. Noticed I’ve been really tired, like no energy at all. I thought I was just depressed, but it seems other people have experienced that too taking this. I’ve had a pretty constant stomach ache and bloating as well."
