This product REALLY works! I had to be on Prednisone (steroids) for about 2 months. My hair was coming out by handfuls. It got so thin that my scalp was visible through my hair. So, I read the reviews and decided to try these. Took about 3 or 4 weeks before I could tell I was feeling new hair coming in. I’m on my 2nd bag now. I noticed that the new hair that had come in wasn’t prickly any longer. It had grown out enough it just felt like hair. Then a few days later, I could feel the prickly hair again. This was a 2nd growth of hair coming in. I will stay with these forever. Try them, don’t give up. Plus, they taste really good!!!
