Wait what? You take a pill, and it stops nail biting???

It works for about half the people that try it from what I have read. I got lucky. I never had luck with anything else. Mine likely stems from mild hereditary ocd FWIW. It's one of those problems I never thought a pill would fix, let alone a supplement lol.

Amazing find though! For me it makes my nose super runny, it's prescribed for stuffed nose stuff if I'm not mixing things up here.
Yep, looks like it is used for that too. It is used to treat a lot of different things but most of it is currently under trials. Fingers crossed they pass
