How To Treat Fatigue And Hormonal Imbalance After Taking Bovine Ovary Capsule?

I am a 34 year old male. I took 5 or 6 bovine ovary capsules over a 3 day period ( I read it could help hair loss). Shortly thereafter I began experiencing fatigue and the other symptoms of a hormonal imbalance. It has been 4 days since I had a pill, Will these symptoms stop on their own?

Hello Sir,
Please, never take any hormones on your own. You have risked the shut down of your own body's production of whatever levels of hormone you have altered by this bovine supplement. Hair loss is usually genetic.

I am worried for you. Please look up prion disease. Look up "mad cow disease" as it is more commonly known. Anytime you ingest brain tissue from an animal you risk getting an infection. If you were to pick up Creutzfeld Jakobs disease (mad cow), it causes slow brain deterioration and is passed on through genetic code to any children you might have.

Yes, hopefully the damage you caused will reverse itself in several days as your body ramps up its own production of the hormones that it stopped making because of the bovine supplement.

My best wishes to you. When you need a supplement, please consult a dietitian first. Respectfully, Kathryn J.Shattler,MS,RDN
