Coffee said:
The past couple of days I have gone from 4 vicodin per day for pain to 2 per day. Now, that's huge change for me. A lot of my joint pain has lessened. I will keep an extra bottle on hand, so I don't run out~.

OMG, thank you so much for mentioning this. I was having major back pains the last 2 weeks. Somehow, the pain is getting less and less noticeable. It's the MR..strange.:yep:

@Phaer and @MonaRae:

I take the MR in the morning...first thing on an empty stomach and I chase it down with a full glass of H20. Now, I'm not going to lie, by the time I hit the office, I've likely guzzled a cup of coffee to boot :/. I agree with both of you, I need to up the H20 and clean up my diet. The coffee may have to go...it didn't affect me before, but maybe with the MR, it might be too much. Not quite sure yet.

Keep the observations coming ladies!

I, like you drink a cup of coffee with organic creamer (365 brand) every work day morning. I thought about giving it up but nah :blush:

I cut down my consumption of coffee. I used to drink a cup of mocha with 3 shot of expression daily. Since starting this, I stopped drinking coffee since I dont feel tired anymore. I'm quite happy.

May I ask how much you paid for shipping because I was about to order two bottles from that same vendor but the shipping came up to $20 (to Brampton, ON), so I ended up ordering from Swanson Health and paid $14 for shipping

MicheePrings, I bought 2 bottles and paid $20 to ship both. This vendor sells M-R for $20.10 so total cost incl shipping for the 2 bottles was $60.20 which worked out to apprx $30 each bottle. With Swanson, M-R is $23.29 plus $14 to ship for ttl cost of approx $38 per bottle. Bottom line Swanson is $2 less if you're buying a single bottle but $8 more if you buy more than one.

Dang it's good I got two bottles then. So I'll take 2 tbsp. Is anyone taking the 2 tbsp separately throughout the day or at the same time?

Hi lady. I take mine all at once. I use one of those disposable mouthwash cups & eyeball it but I think I'm taking a little more than 2 tbsp. oh well

Get one of these:

This is what I use. I got mine from either Bed, Bath and Beyond or Ikea, I can't remember.
 
Hmm don't want to come in here and make any definite claims just yet (cause its only been 5 days) but ladies my sparse edges that haven't responded to any growth aids, oils, supplements in the 2+ yrs that I 've been on my HHJ just started to sprout some hairs...OMG can't believe but it appears my hairline is filling in. I'm excited about the possibilities.

Omg hair4today I hope it does that for me too. I'm having some issues with my edges.

I use a plastic kitchen measuring spoon to take mine. So I get exactly two table spoons. Is that ok?

You and me both guyanesesista. I really was in it for energy but now I'm seeing progress with my edges..it sooo on.lol. I think regular kitchen spoons should be just fine. I'm using those little plastic cups that comes in children's Tylenol -- they're exactly 2 tbsp.

That's what I've been using.:yep: Didn't even think about one of those cups and it might make me use more.

I'm Heavy-Handed. The Spoon will keep me legit.:blush:...:look:

Welcome to the exciting M-R Challenge!:lol: I Got Ya' Down

I'm also taking Viviscal....So We'll have to compare notes.:yep:

LOL! Thanks!
Yes, we can definitely compare notes. I'm curious to see how it works for me this time around (I took it for 3-4 months last year) and I would love to see how it works for others!

Ok, thank you. I think I will give the other vendor a try next time I order.

I use my measuring scale and measure out 30g each morning. I count calories so this comes natural for me.
 
Checking in: Been talking it every day, faithfully. I like that it's been balancing out my mood a bit, and I have noticed that it cuts down on my sugar cravings. I still want sugar, but way not as much. I also noticed that the more I take it, the better it tastes....so, I like it now.

I take it all at once. I use one if those cups that comes with most over the counter liquid medicines.
 
I've been taking it since Tuesday morning. So today I had my 5th dose. I don't mind the taste. I grew up taking way worse tasting liquid and solid vitamins...

*cough* twinlab liquid super b-complex *cough*

I have noticed that I have an easier time waking up early. My body automatically wakes me up early and I am not groggy when I wake. I work w/children and then go to the gym after work, so by the end of the day I am still exhausted. I still take my pre-natals and extra vitamin C. I don't have excess gas anymore *yay* Hopefully I will begin to feel more energy later in the day.

eta: I've been using regular kitchen spoons.
 
When yall say kitchen spoons you mean measuring spoons right? Silverware spoons would not be the right dosage at all. One ounce is more than you think. There are eight ounces in a cup. Two tablespoons (measuring spoons) is one ounce.

I also use my tiny glass measuring cup that is for extracts. I bought mine at the grocery store years ago. It looks like a shot glass.

I've been using kitchen table spoons (the large ones). I think I'll get some cheap measuring spoons or cup next time I go out.
 
day 3 and I've definitely noticed the dry mouth thing, so I'm upping my water intake. No changes in appetite yet and I am using a measuring spoon for my method of choice. I liked the taste of MR from day one :lick:.

I take the recommended dosage and I swear my hair has really grown... I didn't measure it. I'm basing my findings on visual only. I was sectioning my hair to detangle and moisturize and was PLEASANTLY surprised. I'll wait as well to measure. I'm waiting anyway for my relaxer in exactly two weeks.

When did you get your last relaxer?
 
Does anyone else start to feel ill when they sleep in too much? I don't have trouble waking up, and I naturally wake up pretty early, I just don't like getting out of bed. I've noticed that the more I try to sleep past that optimal point the more my body hurts and I feel sick and groggy. When I wake up at my optimal time, I feel healthy and refreshed. I also think I am getting the increased energy with Mineral Rich. The difference is that it's not an energy boost for me, just an increase over the course of the day.
 
I measure with a 1 tbsp measuring spoon... so I take two of them :yep:

I will say this... At first I didn't feel the energy and I doubted the supplement for that reason. Now, I know for sure it gives an energy boost because it has become so much easier to get things done. I woke up this morning at 8am (usually I wake up on Saturdays around 11ish), co-washed my hair, applied my DC relaxer style, made an outstanding breakfast (inclusive of homemade cornbread) and am now sitting under my heating cap... and it's only 10:30am. For some that might be normal, but for me, it's everything but.

Okay....so I had another crazy dream. This time it was about my son wanting to move out, an old house/school that I was inheriting, angry people, etc. My goodness!:spinning:

Anyway, I have found that I do not crave sugar as much. My second day into MR, I could not stop eating candy. It was sort of like my body resisting going through some type of detox and I inhaled about 7 or 8 snack sized candy bars. Yesterday, day 4 of MR, I went to the movies with my husband and ordered chocolate chip cookies stuffed with marshmallows:lick:. I tried to eat one forkfull and could not. It was too much. Not let me say, I LOVE desserts! It was a big deal because I normally want dessert before a meal.

Still finding I'm extremely windy :nono:, but not as hungry as I normally am. It's almost like after day 3 something inside me changed and I'm not as hungry anymore. I will keep updating on the progress. I'm sooo looking forward to Decmeber and checking my length.

Did you change the way you were eating? What day did you notice the gas going away?
