» Vitamin Supplement Causes 200 to Lose Hair, Fingernails
»
» Nearly 200 people across the country have been sickened after taking the
» vitamin supplement Total Body Formula, United Press International reported
» Sunday.
»
» The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that users of the
» supplement suffered loss of hair and fingernails, as well as nausea, joint
» pain, and diarrhea among other symptoms.
»
» The liquid supplement is one of more than 12 supplements that have been
» recalled in the past year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
»
» Some batches of Total Body Formula and Total Body Mega Formula contained
» excessive amounts of the minerals selenium and chromium.
»
» Selenium, a trace mineral, is only needed in small amounts for good
» health, the FDA said, and too much of it can cause the symptoms listed
» above. Chromium, also a trace mineral, can cause anemia, kidney failure,
» and liver damage if too much is ingested.
»
» The company now faces lawsuits from former customers who allege they were
» poisoned by the product and face long-term side effects.
»
» In March, the FDA warned consumers in 15 states about the link between the
» dietary supplement and adverse side effects including "significant hair
» loss" after 23 individuals suffered “serious reactions” within seven to 10
» days of ingesting the liquid supplements.
