I use to take it, and yes I had problems with hair loss and memory loss. Up your protein. I like Unjury: heres' a good recipe: 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate unjury, 1 tsp decaf instant coffee, 4 pkgs sweet and low, ice mix and serve. Its also really good with banana and strawberry chunks in it.

Wow I can not count the years ago I was here many times a day. About 5+ years ago Life took me on other paths and being here was not a daily necessity anymore. Hello to my old friends still here.
