For Dietary Supplementation "Everything I have had since I started taking these has made sense! It started with a yeast infection, or what I thought was. Then blood in urine!! I took antibiotics prescribed by my doctor, didn’t take the vitamins but took them after the antibiotics were done and blood in urine again! Two others have indicated they had the same reaction! I also have a feeling of a sore and swollen throat! Def gotta report this!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I was super slow at figuring out how bad these were affecting me. I started these 3 months ago after my mother-in-law said she took the gummy ones. The store only had these ones, not that I would ever take the others after my experience. I was insanely itchy at the beginning and had headaches every day for two weeks but thought it must have been something else. I stopped taking them after I forgot. Then a month later, I remembered them. Symptoms came back, not so itchy, not always a headache, but I developed a sore throat and mild nausea. I thought, oh no, I got COVID. Had a negative test. Bullet dodged. Then the yeast infection came on. Could not kick it. My doctor prescribed me meds, and I had stopped taking the supplement at that time. Then once again I remembered I had these horrible things! Developed a sore throat and a yeast infection within 3 days, and it all clicked finally. Stay away from these things. Not sure what other damage I did to my body..."

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking this vitamin because my hair was rapidly falling out. Two weeks I have been on the vitamin, and for the entire two weeks, my stomach was extremely upset. Diarrhea, upset stomach, sore throat, and skin rashes occurred. I have never had any allergic reaction, or even side effects to medication or vitamins, until this. To top it all off, I have noticed not a single change in hair, skin, or nails. Be wary of this product, and at the very least, keep an eye out for symptoms."

For Dietary Supplementation "I never thought to research vitamins. October 2020 was my first bout with COVID (lasted 2.5 months), 2nd bout of COVID March 2021, then 2 back surgeries. My hair is falling out by the handfuls. My sister has used these for 4 years and suggested I try them. I took 2/day with breakfast for 3 weeks. I experienced severe gas/bloating, horrible stomach pains, insomnia, extreme fatigue, headaches, my voice is hoarse, an awful taste in my mouth, and a tingly tongue (that should’ve made me think something was wrong). I’m discouraged because I’m getting sicker and didn’t know why. I started reading reviews. Amazon reviews were good, then I found this website. Thank you to those who have written in. I stopped them today and hope I can feel better soon. I bought these gummies from Amazon. There was no expiration date, an odd color, and they stuck together. My side effects are different. DO NOT TAKE THEM."

For Dietary Supplementation "Took for about 9 days the gel caps. Instead of 3 (recommended dosage), I took 2. Within a week of taking, I started getting a red area on my forehead, and within a couple of more days, it turned into a cystic area on my forehead. Then I realized my only change in routine was the Nature's Bounty vitamins. I stopped taking them, but now I have developed cellulitis from where the cystic area was. My face is swollen and I have a sore throat for about 3 days. I went to the doctor. I am now on antibiotics. DO NOT TAKE THESE! If I could rate -10, I would."
