Supplements/Products etc.

I see a lot of posts on here about people taking products and are feeling ill or experiencing side effects etc. Not sure if I posted earlier re this but my first point of call now when thinking about a product I want to try is before I do I look at the side effects it can give you - not the good effects because sometimes the side effects outweigh the benefits - I then will search and look at different sites for people's reviews, customer testimonials etc. and if I am still not happy I won't purchase. Got enough stuff in my cupboard to start a shop because I can't take but now that I look at the bad effects it can give you - that is enough to make me not buy.

Believe me I've lost enough days having took a product that has caused me more bad than good and then taken two weeks to get back to where I was whilst the side effects disappeared.

Just saying - what works for all doesn't work for everyone - please do your research first - and if you start having problems - start doing process of elimination asking yourself "what have I changed recently"

Hi thx for u comment. I got them from the hospital so I didn't even think of looking it up to see the side effects. I just thought if they have given me them they must be fine. I will definately check from nlw on before i take anything. As u said they start a flare up and ur ill fof a week or 2 after. Great comment thx
