does it sound safe for a Male to take this product every day long term? because it seems to be for women and only during that time of the month.. but i was recommended this product even though I am a male.. but dont know if i could use this long term.

by the way, i was recommended to take this product for cystic acne

Answer 1

Sure, it looks like most of these are at therapeutic or subtherapeutic levels.

Just don't take more than the recommended dose, because the few vitamins that are listed are fat-based. That means they can accumulate in your body and not be washed out, if you take too much.

To be honest, most of these kinds of herbal/vitamin medications are just marketing hype. A regular diet rich in vegetables, nuts, fish, and legumes will take care of all of your needs. But hey, try it and see if it works. Just make sure you mention it to your doctor and pharmacist so that they know. And, of course, report anything unusual to your doctor.
