This is the third day I've taken the TwinLab Daily One Caps capsule, so here is my report:
I can say, I'm not getting the fairly instantaneous, creamy results that I got taking the Stress-B/brewer's yeast combo. I am committed to taking this for a full week before judging however because I have noticed that I'm not getting any *new* pimples. The stuff that's on my face--I had a breakout some days ago when I was trying out the Rainbow Light Hair, Nails, & Skin Connection--I don't really want to blame the H, N & S Connection for it, it might work for someone else but I didn't feel it was working for me--has to clear up...but what I'm looking for, as I say, are *new* pimples. As long as there are no new ones, then it's just a matter of time.
The only real difference between the TwinLab and the Stress-B is that Stress-B has more of some of the B vitamins:
Mind you all of the smaller amounts are well in excess of the "Daily Value."
Now here is the interesting part, since I'm not ready yet to make a conclusion about the TwinLab pill re acne.
The interesting part is that I feel stronger now than I have for years. I no longer have that nagging "chronic fatigue" feeling that I've had since...years? I really don't remember.
My skin is also noticeably drier, ie less oily. It's also smoother, the same way it was with Stress-B/brewer's yeast.
How to put it delicately? :) I'm getting less gas. I mean I think this stuff does something to help your digestion.
I feel stronger...my legs feel stronger. It is just really weird because you get used to feeling a certain way... And it seems to me that my hair is falling out less.
The only thing about the TwinLab pill...iodine. I've heard from a few different sources that iodine is not good for acne, and just about all the multi-vitamin pills have it. TL has 100% DV of iodine. I've heard that the Murad Skin Vitamins stuff does not have iodine.
I went to get a brewer's yeast tablet from my local health food store and they didn't have it...that's the only thing I wanted to add on to the TL capsule, at least for now.
