Hi everyone, I 'm hoping someone can help me figure this out. I started taking clearetto pills (herbal supplement) to balance my DHT/androgen production (I have PCOS and androgen dominance symptoms) and address possible vitamin deficiencies. The main ingredient in clearetto is saw palmetto, but it also contains other vitamins. I started with a low dosage, but because I needed to take more saw palmetto, I increased it to 3 pills a day now (the recommended max is 4 a day for severe acne). Along with the saw palmetto, though, I'm inevitably taking more vitamins plus zinc and copper in each pill. I started experiencing some headaches, dizziness, and trouble concentrating and I'm wondering if it's the saw palmetto or if I'm taking more vitamins than I need. Is there such a thing as vitamin overdose? Or maybe it's a saw palmetto overdose? I was once advised to stop taking my multivitamin for a while because I didn't need it, so I'm wondering if my body just doesn't need all the extras that come with saw palmetto in clearetto. Please let me know what you think. Here is a list of the ingredients (gelatin capsule).
Serving Size: 1 Capsule
DV% Amount per Serving
Saw Palmetto Berry Extrac:t 650mg, Alpha Lipoic Acid: 25mg, Vitamin A (as Beta-beta-carotene) 2000 IU 40%.

Have you tried b5?
I'm on week 8th and its finally working.
I haven't ...this clearetto supplement has B6. Is B5 better for acne than B6? I didn't have any luck with B12, that's why I avoided B-complex supplements that have all 3 Bs.
I heard b6 and b12 are bad for acne.
To my knowledge b5 is supposed to stop oil production there for acne bacteria has no food thus no zits.
My first 2 weeks I broke out after that oil went down and pimples started receding.

I'd be careful about taking B6, which has been linked to causing acne:

Good to hear that b5 works for you. I'm considering taking b5 myself.
Do you take your B5 together with compounds like L-cysteine or L-carnitine?
What dosage do you use?
Did B5 cause any hair loss?

The first 2 weeks I took 10g of b5 I broke out, after that week my face oil production reduced and pimples were receding. I'm on week 8 right now taking 6g
After this month I'm gonna lower to 3g see how that goes for me. I take b5 only nothing else , no hairloss so far.
