But after taking them, I've been feeling like my head is heavier and I'm constantly thirsty. Is it normal to feel this way? Could there be a problem with how I'm taking them, or is there a better way to boost my Vitamin D3 levels quickly? Any advice would be great.

I've been dealing with moderate man boobs and wanted to know if there's any approved treatment for it. Is gynexol actually effective or should I look into other options? Could hormone balancing help get rid of this or is surgery the only way?

For moderate gynecomastia (man boobs), several treatment options are available, including medical management and surgery. While Gynexol (a potential supplement) is not a scientifically proven or approved treatment for gynecomastia, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Hormonal imbalances can contribute to gynecomastia, and some medications, like tamoxifen or anastrozole, may help address this. However, for severe cases or when medical management isn't effective, surgery, such as liposuction or mastectomy, may be necessary.
