Since I started taking various vitamins for my hair and overall general health, I have noticed a very pleasant side effect. I am losing weight without any excercise. It is like fat is melting away. I am able to wear clothes now that I have not been able to fit in since 1998. The only thing I am doing now that I wasn't doing before is taking a bunch of vitamins with each meal. Oh, and my hair is really growing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
