Where are you getting the gelatin powder from?
I have seen Knox unflavored gelatin powder on the baking aisle at Walmart, Target, and Kroger's.

This is the kind that I use. I mix it with 4 oz. of cold water daily. Its a nice orange flavored drink. It has biotin in it. I get it in the baking aisle at the grocery store.

The strawberry is good! I had a strawberry and black tea one with jelly, but my favorite so far is honeydew melon with jelly PLEASE do not try the coconut
Well you've already pointed out my two faves: The strawberry, and I love the black milk tea w/ tapioca (very simple but always satisfying). The almond milk one was also really good. I also like this one with lychee in it, though I can't think of the name. When they see me they ask if I want lychee or boba, and if I say lychee they just get started because they know the one I like. If I say boba they ask if I wank milk or strawberry. I'm kinda predictable with them now that I know what I like. Tried them all in the beginning but these are my favs. the lychee drink also has gelatin except it surrounds fruit. It's pretty darn awesome and the one I get tastes kinda like lemonade with apple lychee in it. I only get it when I want something really sweet.
So I tried bubble tea for the first time today, thanks to you ladies! I had the strawberry with Tapioca...and it was great. I will try the black milk tea and honeydew melon next.
Hi Serenity,
Here's the peice I read that mad me post this thread:
Protein
Protein is a basic ingredient in many hair shampoos and conditioners and is also the major ingredient of hair itself, which is at least ninety per cent protein. Whilst this should not necessarily be the main ingredient in your diet, its importance should not be ignored.
In controlled tests volunteers, supplementing their diets with protein in the form of 14g of gelatine daily, found it increased the thickness of individual hair strands by as much as 45 per cent in only two months.
Diet can influence both hair growth and quality and gelatine has exhibited one of the highest specific dynamic effects of any food or supplement.
Given that a strong hair is a healthy hair, the study noted that the gelatine induced increases in the diet constituted an improvement in the mechanical properties of the hair, including strength. When the volunteers stopped eating the gelatine, their hair returned to its original diameter within six months.
I think this may be another vit we LHCFer's have not given due credit
That's kind of the only thing that sucks about the results, so it's like their saying we would have to take Gelatine for the rest of our lives to maintain the thickness?
Eat Jello!! But what is gelatin anyway? Well apparently gelatin is collagen that is taken from connective tissues, bones, organs and intestines of cows and horses. Now do you really want to eat 4 cups of jello/fruit flavored animal scrap everyday? Think about it!!
This is the kind that I use. I mix it with 4 oz. of cold water daily. Its a nice orange flavored drink. It has biotin in it. I get it in the baking aisle at the grocery store.

You must knew I was going to place an order at Vitacost........now I really don't know what to get
Ooops, sorry honey. I want them all myself but I think I will get the hydrolyzed gelatin - 2000mg, the hyaluronic acid with Biocell Collagen in it, I will definitely be getting this to try for the first time http://www.vitacost.com/Rainbow-Light-Just-Once-Prenatal-One-Multivitamin, and I'll be repurchasing the Nature's Plus Ultra Hair Vitamins. I'll get the NSI Synergy Once Daily vitamin at a later date. The NSI Mega EFA® Omega-3 EPA & DHA - 2126 mg 240 softgels and the Alta Health Silica are staples for sure.
Hello Ladies,
I have an update story for you!.
It's been about a little over a week since I have been taking 3 tablets a day and I am already starting to notice a definite difference in my strands.
Here's what I'm noticing:
Gelatin tablets are definitely here to stay for me
- My hair over all seems to be getting darker
- My strands seem stronger/coarser
- A Decrease in shedding
No, this will be my first time. I simply can't resist that one though because of all the great reviews about it on vitacost.com. I am really really eager to try it.That is crazy! I just placed an order for hyaluronic acid! Have you ordered the hyaluronic acid before?
