@Beany
When I was taking it, I noticed firmer, smoother skin. Brighter & Clearer if that makes sense.
Loved it when I was taking it, but ran out and never repurchased. I think I took about 3 bottles. I was buying the Neo-Cell Brand.
At the time, I was also taking Collagen and felt I didn't need them both.
But I'd definitely reup on Hylauronic Acid.
On repeat since last update.

While attending college, I was a pharmaceutical tech/ supervisor. I remember the D, BID, etc. shorthand <lol>. thank goodness I missed the catheterization experience.Lol @ bid...you must be a nurse/doctor!!! No one uses that unless you've had the great pleasure of cathterizing someone!!
@BeanyThanks Ms. T! I think I'm gonna add this to my reggie soon.
That sounds like a lot of chlorella...what brand are you using?
@JessieLeleB - Wenbev is right on about the Chlorella. There are several threads on Chlorella. Here is one of the more popular links.Do you mean Source Naturals with the waves art on the label? the 4 tabs you're on is a good starting point. I'd add an extra tab at the beginning of the week until you get to 10 which will decrease the likelihood of heavy detox symptoms. You'd can still do the spiru alongside, also increasing incrementally until you hit the serving size. I've found you don't really get the full benefits for your body if you dont hit that serving size.
Yea lol it will take a while to go green. especially depending on your diet. Make sure you drink a full glass/bottle of water when you take it as it will wreak havoc on your gut if you don't. Ask me anytime about chlorella. Been taking it for years.
@Beany - which Great Lakes Gelatin do you take? Is it in red or green canister? I purchased some gelatin last year - but not really sure about taking it as it's a PROCESS to repair. I know Gelatin is excellent for your nails and hair, so I really have been thinking about adding it to my regimen. If I do I will reduce my chlorella intake, as it's high in protein also. Spirulina, although high in protein also, dosage won't change.
@NaturallyBri87Been taking my Beautifully Bamboo. Skin has remained clear. Nails don't break as often. Not sure if it's giving me the growth I got from Mielle Organics or Manetabolism
When I take MSM I take it with lemonade. <lol> It makes it much easier to drink. I tried it with OJ and also with papaya juice -Mixing collagen powder in grapefruit juice cut down on a little bit of the bitterness. I might start mixing the collagen with msm in grapefruit juice.
@NaturallyBri87
So you were getting good results from these?
Making a mental note of this for something to off-set Phyto during the 30 day break.
I use HA in my facial products (big SK beauty fan) and the texture of my skin is smoother. I'd say take both. I've done some research and taking HA internally is good for the joints as well as adding moisture to the body. Collagen internally helps to minimize the aging experience by mending joints, helps with skin, hair, nails, teeth, and helps to heal or mitigate gut issues, and increases metabolism according to Dr. Axe and several other health "celebrities". I am cautious about buying the powdered collagen because I don't know the source of the product, how that animal was cared for during its life, and if it was exposed to pesticides, consumed GMO feed or given antibiotics or hormones. I'd quicker just get bones from the butcher at sprouts or whole paycheck and make broth.@Beany
Loved the results - but couldn't decide whether I needed both HA and Collagen?
And I was also using Collagen for joint support so I stuck with that. But I got nothing but love for HA.
hi @ilong we were the chlorella chicks@JessieLeleB - Wenbev is right on about the Chlorella. There are several threads on Chlorella. Here is one of the more popular links.
You weren't taking Mane & Mielle together or were you?
@NaturallyBri87No I wasn't. Mane choice first and then I tried Mielle
Have you tried the Manetablism yet? I just started last week.@NaturallyBri87
So, if you were ranking them you would rank: Mane 1st and Mielle 2nd?
continue to take my vitamins:
I want to also start drinking drinking warm water with lemon and honey throughout the day w/ occasionally some honey.
@Reinventing21 - I'm falling back in line and marching to an ol' familiar tune also.I didn't see this thread till yesterday! So....I am officially joining today, but I started Sunday. Actually I started in January back with my whole food supplement but now I am officially paying attention.
I was looking back at some photos and my hair/skin was so much better so I have been racking my brain trying to remember what I was doing. This is why journaling is so important.
Anyhoo,
As of Sunday: Source of Life Whole Food Liquid Supplement, Shen Min for Hair, Biotin 10,000mcg, vitamin D and zinc.
In the past I took Barleans 3.6.9 oil. Nasty and expensive!!!!$$$ BUT that is when I looked the best so...I better budget and down it with some organic oj.
I also used to take Neocell but I wasn't sure it was making a difference. I think I will return to it and maybe gelatin and MSM. I used to do these as well but fell off.
Consistency is key so we will see!
I want a healthy body PLUS thick, smooth, shiny LONG hair and clear, smooth, glowing skin AND long eyelashes!
