Do you take Nourishair Vitamins?

[Guest]

Are there a bunch of you all taking Nourishair vitamins from GNC? Any testimonies? I'm think about switching over to the Nourishair vitamins once I'm done with my One-A-Days. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Tonya]

Hi Karonica!
I am presently on my last few Nourishhair vitamins and personally I wish I had purchased the Ultra Nourishhair....when I go restock thosse will be the ones that I get. I think they work had about 2 inches of new growth if not more in 2 months... So if u want immediate results I would take the Ultra Nourishhair...but if u want to start slow and give your body time to adjust I woudl take Nourishhair then switch to Ultra Nourish Hair as I am doing. I have heard alot of great things about them /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[AmilLion]

I purchased the Nourishair, but I haven't noticed any growth as of yet. I dunno, I can barely notice growth with my hair.

 

[Guest]

Oooh! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

2 inches in 2 months! My hair grows good with the plain One-A-Days, so I can only imagine what may happen with the Nourishair vitamins! Plus it contains that biotin that I keep hearing people talk about. Hmmm. I want to grow five inches. Since I'm not trimming, that could possinly be 5 months. Hmmmmmm....Can't wait til my next visit to GNC! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I take Ultra Nourishair. The vitamins are big, but I like to take them. I haven't isolated it's usage, so I don't know if it makes a difference or not. I do know that it has good amounts of Biotin, and other vitamins that I take, and the usage is almost the same of a Centrum vitamin.

 

[Honey Vibe]

Can someone cut and paste its ingredients here? If they're about the same as HF 37, and cost less, perhaps I'll switch!

 

[SVT]

I used to take Nourishair but I swiched to Centrum multi instead. Those GNC viamins were expensive!

Good grief! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Yah don't get sick after taking one vitamin with all of that stuff in it? Shoo...taking one of those could last me all week. But one thing I noticed is that the Nourishair doesn't have any iron in it, or at least the Ultranourishair doesn't. I want/need something with iron it it.

 

[notsomebody]

You should never take any vitamins on an empty stomach. That will definitely make you sick. If you are concerned about iron, check out your multivitamin. I take centrum as my multi after trying several other brands. I started out with Bargello's regimen and played with it until I got the growth I wanted with as few pills as possible.
I take Centrum, UltraNourishair, EPO, Biotin, and MSM. My MSM is in powder form so I can mix it with Juice.

Even if you decide that this is too many vitamins, definitely find a good multivitamin. For some people all they need is a multivitamin.

Good luck

AMEN TO THAT! i had to learn the hard way

 

[Tracy]

I take what Madison takes. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I used to take the Ultranourish and the Nourish Hair - but I saw the ingredient list of the Vitol and swtiched. Plus - they are WAY smaller - a big factor in the switch for me. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[AmilLion]

is 11mg of silica too much?

 

[Honey Vibe]

Looks like Nourishair beats my own supplements on Niacin and Biotin, and that's it. I think it may be cheaper to just take more biotin as a separate supplement.

 

[Sweet C]

Where can I purchase the Vitol and how much do they cost? Also, has anyone experience breakouts from taking vitamins?

Vitamins are definitely a great attribute to hair growth.

I got my touch-up the Saturday before last, and already I've got a good amount of new growth, up to a half of an inch, probably more in some places! I can't believe it! And my perm took PERFECTLY! When I let the Infusium 23 Leave-In Conditioner and Profevtiv Break-Free hit my scalp after I was my hair, my scalp goes CRAZY and new growth spurts out, and I wake up the next morning with waves in the roots! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Unbelievable! I am going to get a camera and start taking pictures of it, because it really is amazing!

 

[SexyGyrlNY]

Hello hair twin! I read your reply in my intro post(thanks for the advice!) I'm going to give it a try and step away from the flat iron and blowdryer and do the protective styles for awhile....but getting back on the subject of this post, where can you purchase vitol vitamins at?

 

[Guest]

If you're an online shopper (I am! /images/graemlins/grin.gif) then here you go! Vitol has a lot of stuff in it...Hmmm.....Getting interested.....Yes, I'm a PJ! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

There are a host of other online vitamin places. Good grief!

 

[Tea]

Do you think it would be safe to take UNH with another high dosage multivitamin? I've been considering it but I'm a little concerned about sideeffects of taking mega doses.

 

[Guest]

I don't know. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

But there are a lot of people here that mix all sorts of things together for their daily dose. But I remember someone telling their story of how this vitamin mikshake made them awfully sick. I try to stay away from those super mega doses because too much of certain vitamins can cause poisoning.

Check out this website:

http://chemo.net/newpage35.htm

 

[AmilLion]

I was reading, if your vitamin's Fat soluble it can cause poisoning, but if its water soluble it won't cause problem. The reason behind this is that fat soluble vitamins store in the body and with water soluble vitamins, your body takes what it needs and disposes the rest.

 

[Camille]

I just bought some Ultra today. Everyone wish me luck!

Yes this is true; And I think it also has to do with water processing thru your body and carrying the nutrients with it for better absorption. You should also try to use liquid vitamins or vegi capsules whenever possible as they break down faster as well.

The bolded is actually really important. Once you start changing what you put in your body you need to be really careful. Even if you are putting something healthy in, your body needs to get used to it. For example, I learned that I can't handle dairy fat, so I switched to soy milk. Well, that upset my stomach and I had to ease myself into the change. Now I can drink soy milk with no problem.

The same can be said about biotin, which is a major part of these vitamins. Your body may not be able to keep up with all of the bioting. So just start with the regular and then work your way up to ultra nourish so your body can metabolize it better. And you won't have to deal with the acne that some others get when they start taking biotin.

 

[Jewell]

I took these back in 2003-2004, but I didn't think they were all that, given the price. I've had better results just sticking to cheaper vits like plain B complex, MSM, fish oil, biotin, etc. I do take hair vits at times, but I wouldn't go back to Ultra Nourishair because the results weren't remarkable despite taking consistently for several months.

Same here! I took GNC's Ultra Nourish Hair for months and got less than stellar results. Now I take Nioxin Recharging supplements with an addition 2mg of Biotin, and my results are awesome. I plan on continuing this until I reach my final goal of MBL.

 

[wednesday]

I take ultranourishair. I love that my nails grow fast and super strong when i take it. I don't really know if it's making any difference to my hair.

 

[VirGoViXxEn]

I used to take this brand but they broke my face out. For someone who has never had acne i wasnt used to that at all. So I switched to GNC's hair, skin, nails. Smaller pills and no breakouts.
