Good idea, everybody reacts in different ways.

I was advised by the pharmacist to freeze the fish oil. DH & I had issues until we did this for awhile. Now, the fish oil doesn't seem to present any problems. I have trouble with biotin, tho. Cheaper supplements (that contain lower doses) often seem to work just as well for me and without as many side effects. I don't go cheaper on the fish oil... mine is medium-priced. The biotin in larger amounts does not seem to agree.

My stylist warned me that GI issues could result when I told her I was going to add in Andrew Lessman's Health Hair Skin and Nails. So I watched it but I have had no issues. My nails are also benefitting. I'm sorry all this is happening susic. What about going to a high end naturopathy store and showing them what you have. They are actually much better educated in terms of knowing contraindications of the products than the doctors, just as pharmacists and pharmacologists are much better at knowing the contraindications that your internist or even a specialist such as a gastroenterologist. They spent all those years in training just on drugs. Good Luck!!

I've never heard of this side effect from Hair, Skin, and Nails vitamins. I've taken them for many years and have never had issues. Maybe it's combining them with another supplement that may cause this, but I take numerous supplements too. By the way, the results are amazing with this supplement. I have to cut my nails and my hair quite often. I don't take any other supplement that I see results from like this one.

I've never had a problem with either fish oil nor Biotin and have been taking both for years. I guess I'm just lucky. The BIotin makes my hair and nails grow very fast, but doesn't thicken my hair at all.

Susi, you are not alone. I purchased a skin, hair and nail supplement in a gummies formula. I noticed that my stomach was upset after taking them for a few days. I stopped for a couple of weeks, thinking perhaps the cause had been something else. When I again resumed taking the gummies, I again experienced stomach upset. I threw them out and was very disappointed because I really need help with my thinning hair.
