For Dietary Supplementation "I couldn't tolerate these vitamins any longer than a few days! They smelled horrible, and I began noticing that I tasted this smell in my mouth, and my skin also smelled just like the vitamins! It was unbearable, along with nausea and stomach upset, pain, etc.! These were not for me! I'm not sure what this overpowering smell is, but I just can't handle it!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking these gummies almost 3 months ago. I didn't have any major side effects in the beginning, maybe just a sore stomach at first, but that's normal as your body has to adjust to this new supplement. I started to see around a month that my hair was getting longer. It used to be a little past my shoulders, and now it's halfway down my back. So I did see some results with these, but everyone's body handles stuff differently, so maybe it worked for me but won't work for someone else. My hair has always been extremely slow growing, but I noticed a faster pace with the help of these. BUT I did start to get nonstop itchiness all over my arms and legs... I kept putting lotion because doctors thought I had really dry skin, but it's these, so be careful."

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 just took these a few hours ago, and my stomach became nauseous after about 30 minutes. I have felt like vomiting a few times, but I have not. I took 2 Tums to combat the nausea, and when I took these supplements 3 days ago, I didn’t even notice that I had issues then because I blamed the upset stomach on some fast food I ate that night since I had taken the vitamins around 1:00 earlier that day. I ended up with mild diarrhea that night and slept with an upset stomach all night long from about 9 PM to 12 AM, so 13 hours of hell. There’s also a cooling type sensation in my stomach, almost like I swallowed a peppermint. I can’t smell or taste it like others have commented, but the upset stomach is too much to bear. Returning these with the receipt. So glad I only took two versus the recommended dosage of three, or I would have really been messed up."

For Dietary Supplementation "I've been taking these vitamins and had zero problems, except a stomach ache, but that was my own fault because the directions clearly state to take with a meal. As long as I eat and drink the amount of water adult humans are recommended to drink to stay hydrated and ensure that my body properly flushes the vitamin and carries the nutrients where they need to go, I'm fine. My nails have been a lot stronger and grow faster, I haven't noticed much change in my hair yet, but I also have very curly hair and we are show-ers, not growers, so it's hard to tell."

"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."

For Dietary Supplementation "OMG, I was so excited about taking these, and I started feeling nauseous and then diarrhea nonstop! I never felt so sick. I went to the doctor, and they told me I’m fine, but again, the gummy side effects do include upset stomach, etc. I wish I had read that before actually taking them. Never again!"
