Are you still taking your vits and are they still working for you?

[AvaSpeaks]

Remember a couple of years ago when the vits were all the rage. People were posting their vitamin regimes like it was going out of style

And even though I still see people have the vits in their siggys, the hype about taking them has died down quite alot. So are you guys still taking your vitamins and if your are; are they still working for you guys?

And also, who is still popping as many as people were a couple of years ago. I remember some posters were popping as many as 10 a day :fat:

I mean, what's up?

I took them every single day for a year. IDK how much good they did so I took a 3 month break. I'm now back to taking them again. After this batch is finished I think I will cut down to just one or two and stick with those.

At one point I was taking about 12 or 13 a day!

Personally, I have been taking vitamins for years. Long before LHCF. I have a vitamin bible that I study often. I think there are some wonderful and healthy benefits from taking vitamins, so I don't think I will ever stop. Since being on the forum, I have added a couple of new ones.

I was taking MSM, bamboo silica, biotin, b-complex and Exotic Allure Fast Grow till I got preggers. And I can't wait to pop this boy out so I can get back on them. I had so much growth, my newgrowth was beautiful, skin was great, joints and bones were wonderful. Only thing I'm changing is, I'm gonna use up my bamboo silica and move on to the Alta silica challenge that Vev started

ITA! I slacked off on my flaxseed oil last month and I can tell a difference in my skin and hair already.

Sadly I had stopped taking them. I keep telling myself i'm taking my vits tomorrow, but lol i have not started back yet.

 

[glamazon386]

I stopped taking mine about a year ago. I haven't noticed a change.

 

[ryanshope]

I still take my vits faithfully--they have their own carrying case. I just started working part-time over night and I know I could maintain w/o my supplements.

 

[AvaSpeaks]

I'm getting back on my vit regime. It really helped me alot.

Also, gonna start taking my doctor prescribed Iron pills. That's probably why my hair breaks off so much.

Who was taking Biotin and stopped because of breakouts?

 

[alwayzalady22]

i still take a multi, a b-complex, and now 10,000 mcg of PP biotin....my scalp has been itching like crazy recently, and i don't know if it's because of the biotin or the fact that i texlaxed my hair recently, which has made my hair a lil drier than it was when i was a natural....

any thoughts?

I'm taking vitamins (EPO, Silica, Biotin, Shen-Men, etc.), and I've got growth, but I swear...I can't tell you which pill is doing it, or even if any of the pills are doing it! lol. Could be the BT or the decreased heat or the relaxer stretching....or all of the above!

 

[Britt]

I take:

Flaxseed
EPO
MSM capsules
Silica....

----
I take the first two for my overall health. My period just past and I did not feel ONE cramp... one cramp at all, not even sign if my period was coming... I know this is b/c of the EPO, and I take Flax for overall health and b/c I think it goes hand in hand with the EPO.

The MSM and Silica, I take for my nails ... yes, I want pretty nails too. Can't say I see any difference in my hair though... but in a few areas, I see some of my waves coming back just a bit. Don't know if it's due to the vits though.

I started taking vitamins faithfully about 3 month's ago after i read a book about antioxidants etc. I can tell the difference in my skin, hair etc.

 

[Firstborn2]

I take like 5vitamins aday for over a year, well actually I just added the Aloe Vera Capsules about 6 mos ago, and they have helped with scalp issues. Im also thinking about adding sea kelp to my reggie, but I hear it's only good to take them for 3mos, and then give it a rest. I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with my current vita reggie, so i'll continue to take them for hair and health from here on out.

Although I don't really take vitamins, I was almost close to purchasing the Oil of Olay Vit from Walgreens becuz of the convenient packaging & they were on sale...But the Walgreens in Chicago, may be discontinuing becuz they were on sale as a "last chance" offer...This may be why you may not see them on the shelves..

 

[DayStar]

im taking Womens Ultra Mega and Puritans Pride Vegetable Multi-Plex and I most def see the difference, actually my hair is growing at a faster rate now.

 

[Hair Peace]

I need to start taking mine again on a regular basis. I do it for a while and then I forget. If nothing else it keeps me from being tired all the time.
