My mother use to give me this and I can still remember the taste...YUK! When I was adopted at 3 years old, I was anemic so my mother thought this would help build me back up.
When I was young (about 11 or 12) something undetermined occured and most all of my hair fell out. It was never disagnose what happened. But the doctor prescribes this stuff for my mom to massage into my scalp every day. My hair has always been very fine ever since. The stuff smelled awful. Had to open windows, even in winter
