Hello everyone,

I have been on the tablets for 6 weeks now. I haven't had any side effects so i am happy.

I have noticed my hair seems to be falling out in larger quantities than usual, does anyone know if this is due to any missing vitamins while taking tablets - thank you for any help.

    i take a multi vitamin before bed, ive read somewhere thats its a good idea as the tabs can block some of the vitamins we need.

    yes the tablets can block some vitamins and should be taken some hours before or after blue tablet taken so suggested time is just before bed, that's if you can remember to take them unlike me :oops:
