I've been consistently taking my vitamins everyday since I started (kinda surprised myself at that). So that makes today about week 5 of consistent vitamin use. :)

And call me crazy but I feel like I've gotten a lot of growth in that time. I won't know for sure until I decide to next straighten my hair for a length check (in about 60 more days, after I finish my current vitamins). But just by checking my length by stretching my hair I seem to have gotten a lot more growth than I normally do in a month's time (I'm not sure I want to speculate on exactly how much, but I'm guessing at least an inch). :yep:

Also, I did briefly try to up the amount of biotin, by buying 1000 mcg tablets (to add to the 300 mcg that come in the Nixoin vitamins). Like others, I broke out in a huge pimple on my chin (luckily, w/ patience and plenty of topical vitamin E oil rubbed in, there was no scar as a result).

But I did learn that more than 300 mcg of Biotin (which is the 100% daily value recommended) is not for me. :nono:

Checking in for the past few days and today. I've been taking my vitamins but forgetting to post!
 
I haven't been so good at checking in but I'm approaching week 4 of taking my vitamins consistently. Around week 2 the biotin started breaking me out like crazy. Two or three days later I decided to add a B-Complex to my vitamin schedule. That seems to have helped my skin greatly *fingers crossed.* I've also noticed that although I have some acne scars left, my skin looks like it's glowing! I think this could also be in part to the fact that I've finally started using SS regularly. Women of color still need to wear sunscreen every day! Anyway for reference I take:

-Womens Multi (this has 30mcg of Biotin)
-Flaxseed Oil
-Biotin- 2500 mcg
-Super B complex (this has 30mcg of Biotin also)
 
Checking in. Up'd my Biotin to 5mg (5000 mcg) this weekend. I can definately see a difference, especially with my nails. They are hard and growing nicely.

I will straighten my hair in September to see how far I've come...hopefully, I get to at least the bottom of bsl by then. :pray:
