what is going on?

what could these symptoms be attributed to?

- blood takes longer to coagulate
- lower libido

I know this isn't much to go on. In the last year I've started to suffer
from Hair loss and I've recently started taking a bunch of supplements
that are supposed to help slow down or even stop HL. But I don't know, I
feel different.

About a week ago I cut myself on one of my toes. It was a really small
cut, the kind that usually doesn't bleed for very long. But this time it
bled for a good 20-25 minutes. I thought that was weird but didn't think
too much of it at first. Then in the last few days I've noticed a
noticeable loss of libido. I'm 30. I usually think about sex 24/7 and
this is the first time in my life that it's not on my mind that much.
It's a little scary. I'm wondering what's going on with my body.

The supplements I'm taking daily are:
- centrum performance
- vit. C: 500 mg.
- Zinc 20mg.
- a B complex (b1 25mg, b2 25mg, b6 51.5 mg, niacinamide 75 mg,
pantothenic acid 125 mg, folic acid 0.2 mg, biotin 100 mcg, b12 100mcg)

- MSM 1000mg
- vit. E 400 IU
- Omega-3 complete triple fish oil blend 1000mg
- pygeum 50 mg

Saw palmetto extracts (from Nu-life. It's called "Proactive For healthy
male functions")

http://www.nulifevitamins.com/produc...Name=Proactive

it contains:
- Saw Palmetto Berries Standardized 20:1 Extract (85% Sterols & fatty
acids) 160 mg,
- Pygeum Bark (90% Phytosterols) (Pygeum africanum) 25 mg,
- Tomato Standardized10:1 Extract (0.2% Lycopene), (Lycopersicon
esculentum) 10 mg,
- Isoflavone Concentrate 80 mg,
- Stinging Nettle Standardized 5:1 Extract (2%Plant Silica) (Urtica
dioica) 60 mg,
- Pumpkin Seed 4:1 Extract (Cucurbita pepo) 25 mg,
- Oyster 50:1 Extract (Crassostrea gigas) (Zinc rich) 100 mg.

Anyone might have a clue as to what is going on?

oh and I noticed this forum isn't that busy. Is there a better place to
ask questions like these?

There are other things I am sure can cause the sort of bleeding you mention.
Raspberry tea is a suspect. Taking a daily dose (even a small one!) of
aspirin or related meds. Of your list, I do not see anything I am sure would
cause bleeding. Are you getting enough of the cabbage family: broccoli,
cauliflower, spinach, asparagus, brussel sprouts, cabbage? They aid
clotting. To bleed long after a cut speaks of a blood condition; you may
need to have a doctor look at a blood count.
