Default Skin tags falling off?

Does this happen on Metformin? Is it supposed to happen when IR gets back in line?

I'm on an alternative regimen, not Met right now, and in the space of a few days after starting a new amino acid, boom, most of the skin tags fell off.

Is this a good thing?

Thanks, experts.

Default skin tags...

I dont know about them falling off but Ive noticed that the ones around my neck line which were small to begin with and made wearing any attractive necklaces impossible because they snagged them are now noticably smaller?? Ive got a few under my arm thou that are pretty decent in size so I will keep a good watch on those after reading you post for I never thought to keep track on those till after I read your post...thanks! it will be interesting to see who all responds to this post and if they have had any success in them "falling off"....(smiles)

Default skin tag update!

Holy cows! I never took notice of them but under my arms I have always had two sets of fairly large tags that I often worried about shaving for fear Id nick them, or wearing a sleevless top for fear someone would rudely point them out. But after reading your post on them I began to take notice and to my utter surprise Ive notice not one but both sets under my arms are now nearly flush with the surface skin giving the appearence that they have "shrunk" down and or fallen off...Im really excited over this new discovery and think I will do some more research into this matter...and consider buying some nice sleeveless tops to boot!

Default

It's betaine HCl -- it's used as a digestive aid -- got mine at Whole Foods.

If you take it and don't need it, it will give you heartburn -- so if you want to try it, take one with a meal and see how you do, then up the dosage if you want.

Apparently if you have an upset stomach a lot of the time, it could just as easily be that you have too little in the way of stomach acids, rather than too much, requiring over the counter antacids.

I still have no idea why it had this effect.
