I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been noticing that my beard isn't growing much. I eat a lot but it seems like my body isn't really growing either, as I've become taller but thinner. Also, my penis seems small to me. I usually masturbate about three times a week. Should I be concerned about my health because of these things?

I've been really concerned about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years, and I'm trying to figure out if it's safe for her to take the Kudos IME 9 capsule. Can you let me know if it's okay for her or if there are certain things we should be careful about?

Kudos IME 9 capsule is a supplement that can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes. It contains a combination of natural ingredients like Karela, Jamun, and Methi which can help in managing blood sugar levels. However, it is important to note that this should not be used as a substitute for prescribed diabetes medication. For your mother, it is recommended to continue with her prescribed diabetes medication as advised by her healthcare provider. In addition to that, she can take Kudos IME 9 capsule as a supplement. The usual dosage is 1 capsule twice a day before meals. It is always advisable to consult with her doctor before starting any new supplement to ensure it is safe and appropriate for her condition.
