How many pills/supplements are you popping??

[Serenity_Peace]

I often think I'm taking too much, but you know Vitamin C really helps to break down the nutrients in the vitamins. My mother swears by this very inexpensive multivitamin called VitaSmart. You can get this multi from Walmart, Walgreens and I believe Rite-Aid. She said that it will give you twice the daily recommended allowance as most multis, including the one I take now from GNC called Ultra Mega ACTIVE. I workout and run a lot, to it's good to keep up with replenishing nutrients.

Here's what I take:

GNC Ultra Mega Multivitamin ACTIVE
GNC Biotin
Nature's Way MSM with Sulfur
Emu Oil Capsules with EFA's
Pantothenic Acid
Vitamin C
Yerba Mate Fiber capsules

Hi!

I take alive whole food energizer as my multi b/c some studies suggest that synthetic vitamins may be overall harmful to your health and this is where I get the majority of my supplemental nutrients.
However, I have just started taking Rexall Biotin 5000 mcgs. I am going to start taking MSM (NSI brand) and I currently take futuerbiotics silica but am switching back to the GNC brand. The futurebiotics brand does not indicate how much silica is in the horsetail.
I take efa's (I am going to try country life omega 3 6 9).
Lastly, I take the GNC brand calcium with magnesium and vitamin D but I am going to try the country life brand.

I take the following:

2000-3000 mg MSM (crystals/powder form; I take mine mixed with lemon water & stevia sweetener first thing each morning)

1 Multivitamin - currently taking Source of Life Liquid, but I will be taking Country Life "Maxine" (1 tablet daily) once I'm finished with the liquid

1 Puritan's Pride Cal/Mag/Zinc supplement

1 tablet NOW Spirulina

2 capsules flaxseed oil

1 capsule Puritan's Pride Super Biotin (5000 mcg)


Sounds like a lot, but it's really easy for me to stick to this plan. I take most of my vitamins in the morning, but I take the flaxseed twice per day (once in the morning, once at dinner) and the biotin right after dinner.

I am currently taking a multivitamin, Flaxseed oil (not the pills ), Scotts Emulsion and MSM.

 

[InsatiableMe]

Biotin - 10 mg (2 pills)
MSM - 1000 mg (1 pill)
Horsetail - 1000 - 1500 mg (2-3 pills)
GNC Hair, Skin, & Nails - 2 pills
Centrum Daily Multi-Vitamin - 1 pill

So that's 8 or 9 pills a day. Most of the pills are kinda large, but luckily I have no problem throwing like 4 of them back at a time ... I think I was a junkie in another life.

 

[MissMusic]

I take a One A Day Women's and Flaxseed Oil (1000mg) pill every day for overall health. Don't really know if it helps with hair growth, but if it does I'll take it!

I used to take just biotin and flaxseed oil late '06 but fell off that regimen cuz I got lazy. But this time I'm on it for good. It's only been two days and I knew this would happen but I have to pee like every 3 hours it seems. LOL I think its a mixture of all the water im drinking with it. I hope to see and post some results after I take my braids out in June. I can already feel my edges filling in nicely. I think with all these vitamins plus my giovanni direct leave-in. The new growth will come in nice and soft, not crunchy and dry.

[Ennyaa]

Uhhh... Alot Check out my siggy for the list. Honestly I think I should cut back but my hair grew best when I was taking this stuff religiously so I guess I'm just afraid to stop taking anything.

Luckily I have no problem swallowing big/several pills or I'd be in some serious trouble.
