Funny how most of the influencers pushing this stuff on social media have skin covered by a face full of makeup, a head full of extensions and acrylic nails. Thanks for setting things straight doc.
And filters!!
Yesss
BIG FACTS! 💯
Does anyone know about Weem
Why shoukd tey not wear make up the. Lol
So glad you are addressing this. I recently had issues with hair thinning and I was willing to do anything to get my hair volume back. However, it returned on its own. My derm thinks it was due to a stressful period in my life. So glad I did not waste a lot of money on vitamins for my hair that may have led to negative effects.
thanks for watching
Greetings Theresa Berg hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 You too! Thank you!!
Happy Tuesday friend xoxoxo
I have this problem too. Unfortunately it’s difficult to pin down what my stressor was because the hair shedding doesn’t start for around 3 months later. But it always bounces back!
I've been taking that Nature's Bounty HSN gummy. It's definitely made a difference in my hair and nails. Maybe I was deficient in biotin and didn't know. Either way, it's working for me.
Me too.
Same here
Same but the capsules and not the gummy’s.
Me too!
I've been taking them too and there is regrowth in my hairline.
I’m very glad you made this video. Im studying to be a nutritionist and I have warned several beauty influencers not to pedal vitamins when they aren’t qualified. People need to be informed. So thank you.
It only works if your biotin deficient like yourself. People who aren't won't see a difference.
I take collagen peptid for my joints and a multivitamin with biotin, for about 3 months now. My hair is now getting back to normal, fuller, not thining. Idk what works, but something does, so I keep taking the peptide and vitamin. I personally would recommend that to anybody who like me has an inflammatory disease process.
What multivitamin did you use?
@@naglaahassan5608multivitamins with iron you'll see a big difference in about 6 weeks of talking them please don't listen to this woman she has a problem with everything anything thats drugstore she says there not worth the money she full of shit if in doubt ask your own GP for advice don't listen to her
A regular boring vitamin. Look on the packaging see what's in it before you buy. I'm at work or I'd give you the brand.
Could you name the products
This topic is important and nobody seems to wanna talk about it. Finally you bring it up as a doctor👏👏👏 thank you
Glad you addressed this. Everytime I've tried this type of supplement I've felt either heart palpitations or some other problem. I gave up and will not ever try another one. I've wasted a lot of money.
Thanks for keeping us informed on those supplements. I appreciate how you take the time to look at the latest data on reputable studies. Something most of us wouldn’t do. I always look for 3rd party tested, also made and sourced in the U.S. ☺️
Thank you very much for addressing this. Everyone should watch this video☺️
Thank you so much for this. As a healthcare provider myself, I have to counter arguments about "natural" "no chemicals" or "big pharma" regularly. Its unfortunate when the marketing for supplements is more effective than the education available to consumers. I appreciate you working to change that, thank you for all you do for myself, my aging skin and my fellow consumers!!
Thanks Dr Dray for this straightforward, no-nonsense video! I'm the one who asked you on Instagram a few weeks ago about hair and skin supplements containing zinc and biotin - and I saw your answer to that as well - thanks! I've been thinking of buying a hair, skin, and nails supplement, and I feel that the beauty industry has this power of reminding us that we're always "not good enough" and that they always have some miracle solution to it. Thanks for sharing all these important facts and points about the industry and about the ingredients so that we can carefully consider if it's safe for us. I definitely agree that there is a place for supplements - and personally I do take one that manages a condition I have - but otherwise, it's good to think twice if we really need certain supplements. Thanks for this really informative and helpful (and money-saving) video!
😂 vitamin overload can cuz issues as well
You can overdose on vitamins. You should request blood work periodically. One may only need B-complex, and not others 🤷🏼♀️.
However, if supplements are a money waste, so can many of the skin care products.
What if a good balance of needed supplements allows you to reduce your face serum stash?
I've learned so much from you! I use your teachings anytime I'm buying some new skin care. So thankful for you!
Hi Dr Dray. I really appreciate that you provide the references for us. It’s very helpful for me, especially so I can cite my sources when I discuss these topics with friends and family. Thank you
Yes!
Yet many took an experimental vax…
Awesome video. Thanks for addressing it from various angles. I’m going to show it to my family.
So glad you're doing this topic!
thanks for watching
I’ve been taking the Bondi Boost hair growth supplement. It works for me for sure, I’ve had no other change to my diet and my hair over the past year has grown the longest it’s ever been in my life. I’m 45 so I don’t have youth on my side for hair growth. I’ve also noticed considerable less hair loss in my brushes and in the shower. That aside, I’m now cautious about continuing and will definitely share the ingredients of the supplement with my GP. Long rich hair isn’t worth other possible side effects I don’t know about.
My endocrinologist gave me a less complete lecture on this subject following a thyroid test a decade ago. Your additional info is terrifying. So glad I have not taken it since.
I learned my lesson on taking "natural" things. I was using a "natural" AM/PM cleanse tablet to keep things "normal" and when I went to have an annual colonoscopy, he said to STOP taking it as it was thinning my colon wall. That was enough for me. Education is definitely a must...thanks @DrDray for this video!
Hi, may I ask what did you take? I read an article that a lady who got a colonoscopy found out that the herbal supplement called cascara Sagrada turned her colon walls black. I noticed that my colon walls are darker in the middle because I used herbal remedies for constipation issues that I Have had for several years.
Hmm, took Dong Quai to regulate my hormones when doctors wanted to throw birth control at me and even did a D&C without results. Within a week I stopped bleeding, and within a month my periods regulated. Guess it depends on the person. And now birth control is linked to extreme percentage of depression in women.
@@maiafaythrow birth control? Why? You have a choice to take or not
I had this talk with my GP today!
I've been taking biotin, and it has helped my crumbling, psoriatic nails and may have helped with thinning hair (simultaneity is not causality, but....)
I've stopped the biotin to check some blood work for another issue, then may or may not restart it - that will be the subject of another conversation with my doctor.
This is a much needed video! Such an under-discussed topic.
thanks for watching
I have several deficiencies from a chronic GI disorder and have to take multiple supplements daily, but I’m super careful about not taking too much and my doctor tells me the IU to use. It’s crazy to me how many people take them for no reason and they buy them from unvetted online businesses and Instagram ads 😵💫
Very informative. Thank you. Love the orange sweater. It's very flattering on you.😊
I appreciate you sharing your expert knowledge. I think you’re brilliant.
Your hair grows sooo fast!!
Great video with lots of information! Thank you!🥰
One of your best videos. Thanks for the education. I work for Pharma and appreciate your evaluation of OTC meds/supplements.
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray. Thanks for this video!!❤ 0:42
Thank you Dr Dray, very highlighting video!
I understand the video and what dr. Dray is getting at. I got diagnosed with a chronic health condition and my hair started falling out immensely and was freaking me out because i was only 19 when it started. I take womens nutrapfol hair growth and I swear it stopped falling out. Ive taken breaks in between and notice it falling out. I just cant stop taking it.
Some supplements do help some people. I know it’s anecdotal but I can tell a difference when I take hair skin and vitamins and when I don’t. I don’t take them continuously I just take them when I feel like my diet is lacking the nutrients I need. I think as long as everyone informs their doctor of what they’re taking it shouldn’t be a problem
I have to take a natural dht blocker and it helps. My hair in one spot is finally growing back..
Yea I watched some of this video it’s nonsense.🙅🏻♀️
@@charleneromero30f it’s non sense don’t watch its that simple.
@emilyaker3536 what chronic health condition do you have?
Thanks especially for addressing biotin interference with laboratory tests. This is real, and we see it all the time. It can affect all sorts of lab tests depending on how that test is manufactured. It's hard to explain to a patient with a positive STD test that it's a false positive result due to biotin!
Whether it’s meds or vitamin supplements, always do your research. I had to do that when I was diagnosed with estrogen dominant breast cancer. After I researched I realized primrose and turmeric has estrogen in it. Which would interfere with my treatment and estrogen blocker. Same thing with skin care. Some cancel each other out.
WOW! As always you give a no nonsense approach that is both thought provoking and educational. Great points to think about and encourage further study on what I take, what I think I want to take and what might interact with my asthma and allergy medications. Thank you for always giving useful points that improve my understanding that my health is made up as a whole. It’s not just in parts like skin/hair/nail as in this example and how my seemingly benign choices can effect my well being. Thanks for helping us all, you are so appreciated!!

Love your videos… they are always packed with lots of useful information and it’s nice to have someone looking out for the consumers versus trying to create products to sell to us!
Thanks for raising awareness.
What about the supplements (vitamins) that are recommended during the pregnancy? Are these controlled/regulated differently?
I use biotin everyday and have for several years. Works great for my hair and I have had no side effects.
Same here!
I found out the hard way that biotin made my cystic acne waaaaaay way worse! For years I kept spending so much money on these hair skin and nails vitamins not even knowing it was basically the sole cause of my horrible, PAINFUL acne. I’m glad I watched this video 😭 my mom used to tell me all the time that these vitamins did not work but I didn’t believe her! 😩
Most Biotin in supplements is synthetic - which is why it breaks you out. If you get it from foods high in biotin (egg yolks, certain nuts) it's much better
I think u gotta drink a lot of water if utake it..at least that's what I was told
@@hannathehumblebard101yes
Yeah that stuff also broke me out so bad
I didn’t really notice anything about my hair except that it would get really greasy
At least my nails actually grew fast but they were so brittle
I ended up having to go and take like the “old lady” vitamins because they don’t shove enough biotin in them to choke a horse, but getting on those for like iron and vitamin D was really good and actually does help with things
They do work maybe not for ppl with acne, personally my hair grow like crazy since I'm taking them
❤ this kind of content. Great job as usual Dr. D!❤🙏
Happy tuesday Dr Dray❤ hope you are having a great day! And everyone else too!
Dr.Dray, this was super interesting. I have taken Hair Skin and Nails for YEARS. I found that the Natrol brand helped prevent the skin fissures I got in the winter on my fingers. When I switched to Nature's Bounty (cheaper and more easily available), I found it didn't work until they introduced the "advanced" version. I do think my nails grow faster BUT it doesn't make my hair better. So then I added biotin. It didn't change anything that I know of. But I do have thyroid issues so I am going to stop the biotin and make sure my doctor knows about the HSN. I am also going to mention the other non-doctor-prescribed supplements (like b complex, and zinc) that I take. My neurologist prescribed magnesium and b2 for migraines. Not sure if they help but when you get migraines, you try anything. Thank you for this. I love your channel and the information you share.
Good morning Dr. Dray and everyone!
Morning!
Happy Tuesday !
I used to have brittle nails and can never grow them long. but after taking biotin 10,000mcg for a year I get to have long strong nails. and I also noticed that my hair grew really fast.
Honestly. Shes spreading a lot if fear about supplements that is not necessary. Over the counter medication has a laundry list of possible side effects. Natural medicine has a lot if information on it from years of use. Do your research and natural medicine is much better for you
10,000 mcg of biotin is dangerous
Biotin does work ❤
Could you do a follow up video to this with examples of good and bad supplements?
I buy them because they work, I only bought them to thicken my hair and after taking them for a consistent year, my hair grew back thick AF!
What brand please?
Yes, if you don't mind, can you share what supplements worked for you?
Please tell us thx so much hun
Hi can you tell me what vitamin worked for you please
Biotin works great for my mom and myself ❤
Thank you for spreading information. I was diagnosed as iron, vitamin d and vitamin b12 deficient. Yeah I was losing hair, nails cracked and brittle, but the diagnosis came due to other health concerns that was a result of the deficiencies. I take only the supplements at the levels my doctor recommends based on my blood work. These levels EXCEED what typical HSN supplements, and even multivitamins, contain. The levels I'm taking to fix my health issues have the benefit of improving my hair, skin and nails (including reversing some gray hair). Improving your overall health with cooperation of your doctor is crucial to avoid issues.
Thanks for being the voice of truth and reason! Great info!
Thank you for this, I think it's now up to an individual to really research before taking anything.
Thank you, Dr. Dray, for bringing the science to the masses. I’m a retired medical scientist, and it makes me BANANAS 🍌 when I see so many people needlessly fearful of science-based medications but will blissfully swallow fistfuls of anything “natural” being peddled by a celebrity all while requiring zero proof they are safe or effective.
I wish supplements were more regulated to be honest. I listened a podcast about them and I remember they used to be but BIG SUPPLEMENT lobbied to congress and make it not so. Which is a big shame, greed always prevails over human health.
Good Morning Dr. Dray🌷and to everyone watching😊 Happy Tuesday!
Morning!
Happy Tuesday !

Hello Dr., thank you for uploading this video. I was taking vitamins regularly but they had a bad effect on me. I had kidney issues afterwards and had to go to the emergency room to clear my bladder. NOT FUN. I told the technician that I was only taking vitamins and no other meds and they looked at me strangely and said that they had never heard of vitamins having negative effects on the body. My husband suggested to instead change my diet and eat foods that naturally help nourish my body such as bone marrow soup, protein, vegetables, pectin etc. Thanks again. 👍👍
Dr Dray, you've read my mind :) I was shopping today and recently, I've been growing my nails, so I almost got tempted to pick up some NOT CHEAP supplement. Even though I'm a scientist, I sometimes get tempted by the flashy marketing 😩 Thanks for the quality content as ever :) You helped me so much with your videos and kind, but objective words! :)
Hyaluronic acid supplements greatly help with nail growth. I have been consuming it from past one year. When stopped for a month in between I could see drastic changes
Thanks for the video! My doctor always asks if I’m taking any new supplements (she already has a list of my usual supplements)! ❤
Hi Dr. Dray I’m so happy you made this video. I have a couple of questions regarding multivitamins!!! Every time I buy one I break out!!! I don’t know which one I can use that has without BIOTIN
Happy Tuesday, Dr. Dray ❤
Morning!
I have to say that certain supplements saved my hair when I was almost going bald. MSM and bamboo extract were amazing as was Phyto hair supplement. They worked! However, I got 2 bottles of HUM hair gummies in my beauty box subscription. I figured “what the heck”, and started taking it. 6 months later my period started going crazy and it would not stop. Went to the doctor and I had fibroids. They were small but they were there. However I also had hyperplasia. But what really got me thinking was that when they checked again two months later, they had doubled up in size, which is not normal and my endometrium was even thicker than the last time. My tests came back showing my estrogen being too high. Now, At this point I was still taking the hair supplement because I thought nothing of it. But I started thinking, why are these things growing so fast? What Have I been doing differently? And I remember the hair gummies. Turns out they have Fo-ti, a Chinese herb used for hair growth, however it greatly increases estrogen production, which can cause fibroids as well as hyperplasia. I have no way to prove the gummies caused my problem, however, after I stopped taking them my fibroids stopped growing out of control, my estrogen levels went back to normal and my endometrium normalized on its own by the time I had surgery. I learned my lesson. I won’t take anything before studying all the ingredients and consulting with my doctor. I had to have a very painful myomectomy and endure 8 months of almost non- stop bleeding. Please research before you put anything in your body.
Hi Dr Dray so excited to be here happy Tuesday I live for this ❤️
Morning!

Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067happy Tuesday Whitney 👍
Yes, I take Halo beauty HSN. I feel it helps me. I kinda wish you would have given a few examples of the ones you think are good.
I took some hair vitamines and got terrible cramps in my belly. I had to stop it. It contained a lot of some substance ( I dont remember) and it can hurt guts. Once a year I take a beer yeast and it does nothing bad but it helps me. This doctor is really great to explain so well❤
Glad I clicked on this. I have been taking a hair, nails and skin supplement as well as saw palmetto for about 2 years. Since bariatric surgery 10 years ago and being 76, my once thick hair has become thin and loss of volume. Having Covid 18 months ago also has had a negative impact. I started seeing new hair growth about 3 months after taking the supplements. I stopped taking the supplements in January 2023 due to some digestive problems. My hair started coming out as badly as it did post Covid. I was getting ready to go back on the supplements, but now I’m concerned about the potential interactions.
My hair is not dyed or permed and I have not had acrylic nails for 4 years. The only supplements I routinely take are magnesium and vitamin D per the protocol at Johns Hopkins where i had the bariatric surgery.
I will discuss this with my doctor, but I find few doctors who are willing or able to discuss OTC supplements.
I used country life Maxi hair 2,000 biotin. Maybe crushing the vitamins would help.
Appreciate this, Dr Dray! Several years ago I considered taking a hair supplement for my fine, thin hair but I never did. After hearing this I'm glad I didn't. I have Hashimoto thyroiditis and take a thyroid supplement and I wouldn't want a supplement interfering with lab results. Thanks, as always. Happy Tuesday! I hope you have a relaxing evening. 💖
What thyroid supplement ? I also have hashi/hypothyroid. Ugh!!
I take Levothyroxine.
Thanks, Dr. Dray. Very informative video! May I also request for your feedback regarding Bee Propolis? I am currently taking green bee propolis from Natura Nectar as my everyday vitamin.
I needed to hear this. Thank you🙏🏻
Such a great interesting video. Thank you
Your hair looks amazing!!
✨‼️As someone who does take supplements… This is a crazy industry and I’m so glad you spoke out on all of these topics regarding supplementation‼️
Hey Dr dray. If you're taking video suggestions I'd love to see a video comparing minoxidil to new minoxidil "alternatives" like neoxyl, aninexil, etc. and if you think they're any good
Same concerns apply to any supplement not just those for hair. The real problem is, you see every week new companies entering this market with big claims & fancy packaging but when you check the ingredients & concentrations you realize that they're robbing you, specially gummy supplements!
They absolutely work I noticed significant hair growth & hair thickness 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 plus glowing skin
Hi Dr. Dray. Love watching your vlogs. I have ACES+Zinc antioxidants supplement in one capsule and I’m contemplating to come back to my routine before taking Multivitamins supplement (for Men).
Wanna know if it’s ok to take them both, do I risk to be OD? Both popular and high quality supplements and manufacturer.
Happy Tuesday, Dr. Dray and Friends!🎊 Please, learn from me… Knowing I had strong genetic tendencies towards thinning hair, I spent over $700 on Nutrafol, chasing a dream. My hair was no thicker or luxurious on day 365 than it was on day one. When you’re 65 and both parents (as well as most aunts and uncle’s) have thinning hair, it’s time to buckle up buttercup and face the fact that you will be living with thinning hair. Key word here is LIVING!😄 Thanks for this excellent video!☮️💜
My doctors know that I'm on a hair, skin, nail supplement and didn't bark. My oncologist suggested it when I was having hair breakage due to a side effect of the med she has me on. I'm still taking them not only to stop the breakage, which it has helped. I now just want something that will help my hair grow longer. I feel like it has stalled.
What an eye-opener! Thank you for addressing this issue so informatively. Fortunately, I haven't run into problems (that I know of) despite taking a variety of supplements, but I will now be much more careful. I'm told I look remarkably young for my age, but I now wonder at what price. I take Ubiquinol and Astaxanthin along with a collagen supplement that contains Selenium 30mcg, Zinc, Biotin, Copper, Iron, Silicon and Vitamins A, C, D and E. What are your thoughts re Niacinamide taken orally (1000mg/day) as is being advised by the Skin Cancer Council of Australia?
Thank you very much for the information.
I'm going to contact my Doctor and have her decide what supplements are needed or a waste of money and health.
👍👌🙏
This type of videos are soooo needed! Thank you so much, Dr. Dray! This is why I love you so much. If one day you stop making these types of videos or keeping this frank style, I would be so sad. Please keep up.
Dr. Dray is really giving us her knowledge and expertise in this one!
Thank you Dr. Dray for bringing this. However, could you advise how high is considered high for Biotin and Zinc? I am looking at Swisse Beauty Hair Skin Nails supplements. and currently I am taking thyroxine medication. Should I proceed?
I was taking centrum and it had an adverse effect on by body. I started to feel jumpy and nervous, and I KNEW somehow I had to discontinue its use immediately.
I felt better immediately after.
You are so helpful, Thank you!
wow! so much stuff i had no idea of. thank you. do you think you could do a video on magnesium glycinate? that's a big one in my feeds lately.
You should review the Pavise Dynamic Age Defense SPF. It costs $148 but is claiming that their formula/formulation is so much better than most other SPF
My MIL, a hospital pharmacist, got me the sugar bear vitamins recently for my hair. I appreciate the gesture, but was pretty surprised. I'm good with my oral minoxidil and PRP injections.
this is so helpful! thank you
I was taking hair, nail vitamins…but I stopped a couple of months ago. I do take AZO for urinary tract reasons…I have been prone to UTI’s the past few years. What is your take on these and also on Omega 3’s. I am a 73 year old female. In the last year or so I’ve started getting blemishes on my face and a lot of mylia (spelling?) all across my forehead and around my eyes. Any advice on what to do…I’d really appreciate! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your video’s and the things you cover. They are very helpful!
As always, you addressed a concern I’ve had for quite some time!! THANK YOU.
Thank you so much for the video! Very informative. I am a family physician and have recently become a little more open to taking supplements. As you mentioned I think there can be a role for them. 3rd party testing is very important. This week I've had 2 patients with wacky TSH and sure enough they are on biotin!
I think it's good for Drs to get more involved. As a transplant patient the drugs I take are KNOWN to deplete various nutrients & interfere with the competence of the body to do its thing with protecting & managing itself. We need actual doctors to pay MUCH more attn to this instead of being focused on the one medical prob they're trying to solve (like hypertension) to the exclusion of the affect treatment has in subtle ways that has a big effect on the patient! So you go Doc! Family medicine is where it's at!
Why were you against it? Feel like everyone should take half a dose of a multivitamin
@@21972012145525did you even watch the video?
I appreciate some of the warnings on this. That being said, there’s good value in getting your blood tested to see if you are deficient in anything.
I’ve been taking zinc supplements for some time and have seen remarkable improvements.
I tell my pharmacist and my doctor ALL the meds and OTC I take. My doctor told me to stop taking a particular herb (I can't remember which one) but, I take about 3 different ones as well as about 4 vitamins throughout the day. If you pick up a prescribed drug, just ask your pharmacist if it has any counterindications with any of your other meds and vitamins.
Fantastic! I just went through a crap ton of blood work after months long wait for the Dr apt and I eat hair skin and nail gummies trying to grow my thinning hair and now I don’t trust my test results! 😭😭😭😭😭
I’ve been taking the Nature’s Bounty gummies for a few years now. I have noticed when I run out and forget to purchase more I have more hair loss. Also, my hair has grown very long it’s now past my waist. I don’t think it’s due to the Biotin though just good hair treatments and maintenance.
Great informative video!
Thank you for this video. What can I take instead for my hair?
Great video!! Also I really think orange is your color Dr Dray!!! 😊
This might be a dumb question: why is the government not enforcing regulation on supplements?
Because the FDA regulates them as food and not drugs. It would take legislation to change that.
Unfortunately a lot of food is unregulated too. Why ? Who knows. Probably lobbying. I think they are also scarred to do that since of pushback from companies and people.
I did dietitian course and ever since it hurt me to look at food that they are selling. There are literally foods with wording on packaging “no sugar added” yeat in the ingredient list there is sugar. I just saw a coffe like that.
Bc they don't care, they're all greedy narcissists
MONEY. Same reason why pharmaceuticals with HORRIBLE side effects still get sold to consumers. 😀
@@ClarkyWarky👍😒
I took this in conjunction with Rogaine and a shampoo that starts with a K. Am too lazy to walk toy bathroom to check but it had a made a noticeable difference in what bothered me specifically: the shed each time I washed my hair. I don't even lose half the hair when I wash it then I did before. I won't say it was the gummies though because I can't isolate what it was that made the difference.
Dr. Dray I am so glad you brought up Finasteride and abnormalities in pregnant woman. 👍🏻 I have asked this before but I always worry that if I get with a man who is on it and if we’d like to get married & pregnant how this may affect me, the woman.
Dr Dray, what about the supplement modere, the liquid collagen…I am aware that eating or consuming your collagen really just turns into an amino acid…in very very basic terms. But what about this form? Thank you for your knowledge and sharing!!
GOOD MORNING! ☀️
Morning!
I stopped taking the HS&N with Biotin supplement because I was getting the worse breakouts. I didn't see the connection until my sister in law whose an esthetician said her face was breaking out from a biotin product she was putting in her water. I was like "THATS WHATS BREAKING ME OUT TOO, THAT DOGGONE BIOTIN" we both stopped taking the biotin and our faces cleared up. Never touched it again..
Wow thank you so much for making this video… I wish this was common knowledge but unfortunately it is not… What you do recommend instead of these hair skin and nail vitamins? Is there any association between vitamin D and strong nails?
I started taking WEEM 21/2 weeks ago for hair loss, haven't seen any benefits as yet but am on a medication for afib, decided after watching you to stop especially when biotin can interfere with thyroid blood tests as I'm watched closely for thyroid abnormalities, I'm going to try Nizoral and Rogaine from one of your videos, tyty
