Anyone taking shen min? Any success and how long? Thanks

I actually took Shen Min Dht Blocker, Biosil (liquid), The Vitamin Shoppe MSM 1000mg capsules, GNC Hair, SKin & Nails, GNC Ultra Nourishair, GNC Women's Mega Multivitamin ACTIVE, Kelp, and T.V.S. Biotin 5mg for 3 months straight and got 5 inches of new-growth while i was growing out my perm. I was consistent, drunk lots of water, ate okay and walked daily. Though this was 3 years ago it still worked. HTH

Wow that's alot to take...but you got amazing growth.
 
Hair vitamins are whack.
I used to use them...
They made me gain weight.
I went from 115-125...
which was fine... but it made me
hungry and I'd eat junk food...
Now, I just eat right. No vitamins.
It's my opinion that my hair will grow that
normal 1/2" per month with or without vitamins.

whats considered eating right?
 
I am! Shen Min and Biosil....... best thing I ever taken for my hair! I've tried HF37, Viviscal, Hair Skin and Nails but I only noticed a true difference when I started the Shen Min and Biosil. I should have done one at a time so I would know which one is responsible for the rapid, healthy, shiny growth but I'm sticking to both....along with my regulars of krill oil, primrose oil, chlorella, and a multi.

If you wanna get pregnant be careful with the Shen Min (black cohosh stuff)
 
I use PURVANA which are all natural hair vitamins . 30 capsuls 1 a day and they cost $25.00. I prefer theses than taking 3= a day like the other ones.
 
I've used Rexall Hair, Skin, and Nails for 3 mths and loved it. My nails were long and my hair started to grow. When I used the last two vits and bought GNC's biotin, b-complex, fish oils, andchorophyll, my nails broke ALL off and my hair is growing sllllllowly. I think I'm going to trash my GNC and order Rexall...If they only had an int'l wal-mart:rolleyes:
 
I take Biotin, fish oil (Which I didn't even know would affect hair growth!) and Vitamins For The Hair from Puritan's Pride. I also take a prenatal and b-complex... among other vitamins... it's working for me.
 
i heard that taking prenatal multivitamin helps with hairgrowth so even though i'm not planning for a baby, i started taking the target brand.
 
FutureBiotics (2 tablets)
CoQ10 (200 mg)
B12 (one pill-sublingual)
Flaxseed and Borage oil (2 capsules)
Iron (one tiny brown pill)

That's it. I was juggling upwards of 10-12 supplements a day with very little results. Less is definitely more.

Before FutureBiotics, I tried NSI from VitaCost, prenatal vitamins, MSM tablets, Pure MSM powder (I was practically hallucinating), hair growth tinctures, B-100 complex, Biotin straight up (had craters).

I am sticking with this and I'll post an update...
 
I'm not into vitamins anymore...
they make me gain weight...
I was always between 115-120...
when I started vitamins I went up to 125...
it's not bad but... if I kept taking them
I could only imagine... they made me super
hungry all the time
and usually I eat whatever's
convenient and for me it was pizza...
I took Ultra Hair for a time, GNC for a little while, Centrum
I say think twice before starting a vitamin regimen
if you don't want to gain weight.

You are right about the gaining weight w/ the vitamins! However, I want the long hair soooooo bad, that I just can't stop taking the vitamins and I lose my weight very quickly. So, I'm going to keep taking the vits u/t I reach my hair goals. But I do feel ya on the weight gaining and I have these uncontrollable desires to eat - mostly junk food or whatever's available.
 
My main go-to vitamin before I found this board was and still is Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nail multi-vitamin. Now I've added MSM powder, and flaxseed oil gelcaps. I plan to add silica to the mix as well and see what happens. I haven't noticed a spike in my appetite though.
 
WE ARE SOOOOO ><!

I will add some fish oil to my diet again. I was using Sevens Seas Cod Liver Oil. I got to get some more this weekend.

I take the bolded and Scotts Emulsion. My mom gave me this as a child, so I started it again.

I don't have a favorite brand, but I must say that 1000 mg of Biotin is working for me! I had a touch up yesterday after two months and I was impressed with the growth. I take biotin, a multivitamin, Vitamin C, and Folic Acid every day. I just wish I could eat right!

These are what I am taking now. My hair is really traumitized right now: poor sleeping and eating habits; neglect; having babies; and stress. My hairline is non existent right now, I hope these help bring them back.

Here the ingredients for the Rexall Hair Skin and Nails (Rexall is owned by Sunbelt).

Prenatal Vitamins helped my hair grow better than anything else, plus it made my skin glow. The only bad thing or good to some people; it made my breasts fuller.
