How often do you take it? How long did it take to work? Any side effects?

Thanks..

I take it daily. My hair stylist noticed the change in my hair at the first appointment after she had recommended it which would have been 5 or 6 weeks. It was probably about 3 months for my skin and a little longer before I noticed my nails. It could have been sooner, but I wasn't paying attention as I was only taking it for my dry hair originally. I haven't had any side effects that I'm aware of.

Amazing! Thanks for your response... So what kind of dry skin problems did you have? My skin is extremely dry/scaly, especially my face and scalp. I have really bad dandruff because of the dry scalp problems, and I'm prone to acne breakouts on my face because it's so irritated when dry.. After a shower it's especially bad because it feels so tight. I try and use moisturizer on my face but it's just makes it appear greasy (and I think might be contributing to the acne) .... plus causes things to 'stick' to my face....... Neverending problems because of dry skin!

My skin has always been flaky. Even as a teen I was battling dry skin while my friends were dealing with acne. On the plus side, I had blemish free skin as a teen. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in my 30's, so that has a lot to do with it now.

I see... So how much of a percentage would you say you're now "cured"?
