1.5 years ago, i started to use this "wonder supplement" so they say, for 8 consecutive months. in just a week, i felt the the ff side effects:
1. numbing of hands, legs and feet
2. backache
3. bloated stomach
4. extreme craving for food
....after 2 weeks
1. pimples in my back and chest and red patches in my face
2. joints pain
3. bee-hive shapes start to appear in my arms
after 2 months:
1. heart palpitations
2. difficulty breathing
3. faster exhaustion from any simple activities
i am just concerned about the side effects of this drug. based on my research on the internet it contains steroids and other components not approved by bfad.
i did gain about 25 pounds in the process. I stopped taking it because my palpitations and difficulty in breathing start to get worse. soon after i stopped taking it, i lost all the pounds i gained...and im back to my original figure after 6 months of not taking it.
i read a lot of comments from people who took it and experienced varied side effects. this is just a warning to those who are taking lingzhi, if you feel uncomfortable about it's effects or if you can't stand it, then stop...
for those who plan to use lingzhi, I advise you not...you will gain fat..but it will not last...with it's adverse effects in the body, even if you think it is not that disconcerting at all, the worst will take it's toll sooner or later
before taking any supplements/drugs, please do an extensive research...and consult your doctor
remember....ignorance can kill
