Am I coo-coo?

[watchmegrow]

I just started taking garlic vitamins yesterday. They are 1000mcg's each. The directions says to take four a day.Well, it seems like they instantly stopped the shedding overnight literally. I read about this happening to others in the archives but I wanted to know if anyone else has had results this fast. BTW, I am on a slew of vitamins but none of them stopped the shedding until I took the garlic.

Is it mcg's or mg's? erplexed
That seems like a pretty low dosage to be so effective, but different strokes for different folks!
I'm trying to find the right dosage for my future MT use.

Anyway, I'm glad your shedding has stopped!

HMMM interesting. I went to the pharmacy and picked these up and put them back down.. I dont like the thought of burping up garlic all day.. Does this happen? Did you get the odorless ones and are they truly odorless?

Does anyone know the benefits to taking this if you are not shedding?

Onion and garlic will strengthen hair and stimulate scalp

Many people do not feel good about the smell of garlic, that is why doctors recommend suppressing the smell using garlic in the flowing mixture:

• 1 teaspoon of garlic extract;
• 1 teaspoon of Aloe Vera;
• 1 teaspoon of honey;
• 1 ½ teaspoons of chamomile tea;
• 1 egg yolk;
• several teaspoons of water.

This blend must be massaged deeply into your scalp and kept for 20-25 minutes, after that the hair must be washed with usual shampoo. If used once a week, this mixture can considerably improve the quality of your hair in 1-2 months.

When people say they are shedding, what do they mean exactly? Is the entire hair coming out of the shaft with the bulb intact or is the hair breaking along the shaft at some point? Have you tried Aphogee or Keraphix protein or egg/mayonnaise treatment? Lastly, does anyone thing that garlic is superior to Aphogee/Keraphix for hair fall?

Most people who talk about excessive shedding mean that there are bulbs on the end, but that there are a LOT of hairs being shed -more than their normal. I've taken the garlic pills (no scent) and had good success - though I was also using unscented garlic shampoo at the time...

Sorry for the late response. It's a total of 4,000 mcg a day. I've been taking the other vitamins but I'm relaxed and dyed so, I always had a problem with shedding. Now all of a sudden the day after taking the garlic, I'm not shedding. Oh, their odorless too. So far I don't taste it.

Mine are 1000mg but the bottle says to take only up to 2 a day...
