For Dietary Supplementation "I had very high expectations for Lipo-Flavonoid to either eliminate or reduce the tinnitus that I have had for several years. Unfortunately, the ringing has not decreased at all. In fact, after 60 days, I did request an $89.67 refund from Lipo-Flavonoid for the 500-caplet bottle I bought on Amazon. I took 6 caplets a day for 60 days and nothing. The company said that I didn't need to return the unused caplets, so I continued to take the product until the bottle was empty, and still no relief. I'm not sure what to do next."

For Dietary Supplementation "The product had no effect in reducing ringing in my ear (Tinnitus). I did keep my receipts and sent them in as directed for a full refund. Clarion sent an email the following day that my refund was approved and would be received in 6 to 8 weeks. When 11 weeks had passed, I made an inquiry and was told there was a glitch in their accounting department and was told that the refund would be received in a few weeks (does that mean 2, 3, 4 weeks?). When the refund had not been received in 4 weeks, I left a voicemail message on the CEO's VM. Knowing his secretary would likely listen to the voicemail, I did not demand a call from him, but at least a call acknowledging the problem from a representative at the company. Another week has gone by. There has been no communication from the company and no refund check in the mail. I normally would not have written a review, but feel compelled to now write. And... I guess I'll have to file a consumer fraud case with my State Attorney General's office."

For Dietary Supplementation "Suffered for three years with muscle/large and small bone pain, fatigue, and a feeling of deep depression and weakness. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Went to endocrinologist because of concern over glucose intolerance. He listened to my three-year history of failed attempts to diagnose, thousands of $$$ spent, etc. He prescribed the then two-month-old Metanx. I was 47 at the time but felt 65 with a threat of forced retirement. Within one month, my pain was fading. I have been pain-free ever since and the medicine also has given me the energy of a 30-year-old with no side effects. I still thank him every six months during my check-up!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I am reading all these comments, and I am only on the first page online. I had to stop reading. I have been taking these Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails with Biotin. I have been taking 3 gummies a day for 2 years, and I am great. I am 55 years of age, have cancer, and my hair is shiny, my nails are stronger, and my skin is just fine. I have no rash nor any of the other things people have mentioned. The construction worker even said he is doing fine on them. Some people can't take certain meds, people can't take things that other people can take. All our bodies are different, don't blame it on a supplement. Please don't blame it on that."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have taken Metanx for about 7 years. My podiatrist prescribed it, but when I had a knee replaced, I asked everyone at the hospital about interactions. Should I stop taking it before surgery (and since you get blood thinners in the hospital and after coming home for 21 days)? No one knew except an anesthesiologist, who said it was also prescribed by a cardiologist. It is now also being seen as helpful in dementia/Alzheimer's patients. It is great for neuropathy, but it also lowered my blood pressure and lowers my body temperature as well. I feel cooler when I take it. I don't know why, but it affects me that way."

For Dietary Supplementation "I began using Lipoflavonoids Plus about 15 years ago to help control tinnitus, which I suffered with for 25 years at that point. It was necessary for me to sleep with earphones listening to a tape simulating running water, and I did so for many years. Within six months after starting Lipoflavonoids, according to the package directions, I was able to sleep without the tape, and my tinnitus, although not completely gone, was barely noticeable. I am sorry so many people were not helped, and I never suffered any side effects that I could blame on the supplement. I hope I never have to stop taking it."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have been on Metanx for over 1 year. I started it due to fibromyalgia and lack of energy. The difference was amazing. Insurance used to cover it at $50 per month, but it recently went up to $120 per month, causing me to have to stop using it. It's a great medicine to help with energy and muscle pains too!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I bought this to help with exactly what it says...hair, skin & nails. I had no issues the first few days, but a rash slowly came on the sides of my neck, then chin, eyes next, and now all over my neck, face, and both arms. I’ve taken Benadryl for three days, completely stopped the vitamins & applied hydrocortisone to no avail. The rash isn’t budging, it just keeps spreading and itching. Please DO NOT take this. It’s not worth the risk!! I wish I could see follow-ups from other users so that I can at least have an idea of how long this is going to last??!!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I am 73 years old and have had tinnitus for many years, which seems to be getting worse. After taking about 100 tablets, I had several bouts of extreme anxiety, like I have never had before, and extremely loud tinnitus. The Lipoflavonoid is the only medication I have added. Not sure it was the Lipoflavonoid, but I do not want any more of that experience, so I will stop and see what happens."

For Dietary Supplementation "I take Metanx for diabetic neuropathy, and it has been wonderful for the pain and the feeling like my feet are on fire. It didn't help with the deep itching in my foot. My doctor ended up giving me Lyrica for that."

For Dietary Supplementation "I am 79. About 2 years ago, I had a hard time going to sleep because of burning, bee-stinging type pain in my feet (peripheral neuropathy in feet), plus calf cramps. Within about 3 weeks from the start of Metanx, no more pain, nor cramps. Works great. I only take 1 cap/day. No side effects that I know of."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have been taking this for 17 years. It began working by the second month. I then began tapering off the dosage until I found the minimal dosage that still eliminated the ringing. Also increased water intake and maintain it, reduced sodium consumption and never take aspirin."

For Dietary Supplementation "I had severe hyperacusis (pain in ears with sound) and tinnitus in both ears. Doctors only prescribed nasal steroids, which I continue to take every day, even though it doesn't do any good, just to shut the doctors up about it. They think it's a cure-all. At the internet suggestion of another sufferer, I started taking Lipoflavonoid Plus - 2 tablets up to 3 times a day, vitamin A 8000 units up to 3 times a day, selenium 1/day, zinc 1/day. My left ear is completely cured, i.e., the pain and ringing don't seem to ever return, even if I don't take the supplements. The right ear responds to high continued doses over time. Unfortunately, nausea and vomiting are a common side effect of Lipoflavonoid Plus, and I always seem to be choosing between my stomach and my ears. But the stomach issues don't take nearly as long to resolve as the ear issues, so lesson learned: take the supplement even if just the smell of it turns my stomach."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have been on Metanx for almost 4 years. I do not have diabetic neuropathy. I started having foot and leg pain after back surgery, which I was told was nerve damage due to the pressure on my disc. I have found relief from this supplement, especially at night when the leg and foot pain is the worst. If I have had an active day on my feet doing my dog sport that I love, 'Agility,' the pain will start by late afternoon and sometimes I will not get the relief I would like, but I can't really say if it is from overdoing it. I have stopped it for a month at times to see if it really did help, and I found it did. I am now watching my sugar intake, eating less processed foods hoping this will help."

For Dietary Supplementation "Have neuropathy and burning and pain was at 8-9 level. Since taking Metanx my pain level is 0-1. My foot doctor prescribed it for me and the company filling my prescription calls me to see if I want a refill. I can pay by the quarter or monthly. All around fantastic. No more pain."

For Dietary Supplementation "Let me start off by saying that reading these comments has been a revelation of sorts. I, like many, suffered from severe rashes when taking these vitamins. However, because I was on other medications, it was difficult to figure out what the cause of the rashes was. After taking 2 vitamins nightly for roughly one month, the rashes became unbearable, and I visited a dermatologist. Long story short, I was on a regimen of antihistamines, but the rash persisted. Following 2 skin biopsies and hundreds of dollars in copays, the dermatologist found that the rash was hives from something I was ingesting. I literally had to stop everything and go through exclusion of vitamins, medications, foods, etc. Nearly a year later, I attempted to reintroduce these vitamins, and lo and behold, I am covered in a rash. Nature’s Bounty should pull these vitamins and hope they don’t get hit with a lawsuit."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have taken Metanx twice daily for 3 months. I have, at times, experienced increased pain from my neuropathy while taking Metanx, but I assume that maybe this is an indication that it is working? I do have less discomfort at night, it seems. No bad side effects that I notice. I will continue to take Metanx for another three months at least. I understand that if Metanx is going to help, it will do so within six months."

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!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I actually found this product quite effective. I have a hard time sleeping at night, and this product contains melatonin to help me stay asleep. The ear ringing has gone down a dramatic amount, and I feel this product has helped. I wish there was a complete cure, but for sure, from the position that I was in, in comparison to how I am feeling now, I must say that I am better by leaps and bounds."

For Dietary Supplementation "My peripheral neuropathy made my feet become so heavy that I could not move them. Since starting on Metanx, I have experienced a wonderful relief of my symptoms. I no longer have to use my walker, and my foot heaviness has all but disappeared. I experienced this improvement in less than two weeks on the medication."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have been taking Metanx for about 9 months now. I first noticed a difference after circa 4 months. Perhaps it was slow because the neuropathy had been with me for 8 years. No cause for it, except perhaps old age (my neurologist's words). Yes, at times the burning pain seemed to get worse in some areas. The doctor's explanation: some of the nerves that had already gone numb, and so painless, were coming back and eventually would heal. After years of only tolerating light sandals on my feet, I have started wearing 'real' shoes again for a short period of time. Prices at the local pharmacy are high, but mail order brought it down to under $70.00, including postage."

For Dietary Supplementation "I suffer from psoriatic arthritis and leg and foot pain and fatigue. I work retail and am on my feet 8 to 10 hours a day. I never felt rested as my legs would cramp and my feet would feel as if pins were pricking them, along with an electrical shock-type feeling. My balance started to be affected, and my toes were numb all the time. The doctor prescribed Metanx and said I would feel better in about 3 months or sooner. I was skeptical. At first, my feet felt odd, as if they were resisting on purpose, and I began to feel life in my toes again. By the 2nd month, I showed great improvement. I even look better as I am getting a good night's rest now. I highly recommend this product for leg and foot pain, be patient. You will not regret it."
