I'm not in this challenge but I'd like to add that after researching silica I decided to buy the form derived from bamboo extract. The most amazing thing has happened since I started taking 1 a day at 200mg! I have this amazing amount of energy since I started taking it on Saturday. I know that it is a superior form rather than the horsetail and I'm loving it!

Oh wow; good to know! Yea I saw one of the other challenger's was taking it along w/ MR and specifically noted the bamboo too. I'm taking 300mg of the bamboo which they say is 70% silica, so 210mg of silica. So I'm not really feeling any 'bursts' of energy from either silica or MR, but I'm only taking one capsule of silica and not that full amount of MR yet. But...I do have sustained energy. I think part of that is my extra water and rest though too.

Hey lady....I'm so sorry I haven't been posting...I am away with some friends who are going through a tragedy right now, so I haven't been on. I will be off for a little while.

I haven't taken it in a little while because I've been away and I know I couldn't take it with me. Once I get home, back on it I go!

Miss you ladies and will talk to you soon...gotta go!

:love3:

Hurry Back Soon.:yep:
 
Hey ladies!!!

Tomorrow will be my 1 month anniversary taking MR. I'm not quite sure but I think I saw some hair growth. Its hard to tell I will have to straighten my hair friday to see what is going on. I will keep you all posted.

Me too I have the gas thing going on ...So I take it as soon as get home from work. I take of my coat put down my purse, keys and walk to the kitchen to take my dose of MR. Otherwise...the bend will play throughout the morning.
 
Not much has changed for me. I'm still happy with MR. One thing I am not experiencing is a lessened appetite. Lol! This is fine because I'm naturally very thin and I do *not* need to do anything that could cause me to lose weight. I have noticed that I don't crave sugar as much. I usually have a huge sweet tooth, but lately I've not had much of a desire to eat so much sweet stuff. I still love sweets, but in smaller servings.

As far as my hair... Bunning plus MR, my multi and Viviscal are making a positive impact on my retention. I can already tell a difference!
 
I have been experiencing some breakouts. One bump will appear and be sore for a few days before coming to a head. Before MR, I never had bumps like this.:sad: Has anyone else experienced this?
 
^^^As a matter of fact, I did notice my lashes seem to take better to mascara. They seem fuller. Not OMG would you look at the lashes on that woman fuller, just fuller for me. They don't seem to be falling out as much either.

My nails though...these are some pregnancy nails right here. Hard. Growing fast. Smooth. Definitely an improvement. And I haven't broken one in 2 weeks! The one I broke has already grown back aligned with my finger.

My hair is growing too, but it's too soon to contribute that to MR. I've been struggling with it for a few years now. It starting to look a tad thicker, too. I'm going to give it until the end of the year to make comparisons before I get too happy.

I went through the same thing. It was like I was trying to blow up a few balloons with all that wind. It did go away, but whenever I eat certain things, it comes right back.
 
I only have a couple of days to go until I finish the bottle. My next will be with aloe. DH and I discussed that we won't try DS on MR until I have used for 90 days. I hope everything continues to go well. i will take down my braids soon and measure. My mood continues to be positive and my energy remains at a good level. I haven't noticed any change in eyelash growth but my nails continue to grow like weeds, even my toenails :( I do drink bamboo tea so I am getting additional silica. I have been drinking this tea for sometime to help with my cholestorol levels.
 
I took my braids down today. I couldn't wait another day because my scalp was itching and I needed to wash. I only have approx two doses left o I didn't think it would matter if I waited.

When I started MR I measured two sections of my hair, the middle front just above my forehead and the middle of my nape. Both sections measured 9.5 in. My front measures 10.25 and my nape section measures 10.5.

I am not surprised at the difference between the sections of the amount of growth because I am experiencing thinning in that area due to PCOS. I am surprised at the amount of growth. I average .25 inches except in the summer months where I have experienced up to .5 inches of growth per month.

Will this amount of growth be sustained over the coming months? Whose to say. However, I am very pleased with my one month progress. Here is a picture from my length check today. Unfortunately, I didn't take one when I started.

My hairline is filling in with little fine baby hairs all over. I did a henna 1 month ago, and I am now seeing more length to my gray roots than I have in the past. This is a big deal because I have been a very slow grower in the past!!

:dance7:

ETA: I am going to do a henna this weekend, and then I will use that as one of my growth markers. I try to henna every 6 weeks.

I'm going to re-up on my MR soon because The Boy is taking his dose every day!!
DS asked me where did I hide the tablespoons this morning :lol: He ain't playin' :rofl:

I'm so glad that the MR seems to be helping him. I may order the vita-sprout for him too, because one of our lovely's up thread said it's helping her be more alert, that's just what a student (and his mom) needs due to our demanding days.
 
I got my Mineral Rich in the mail on Monday. I tried it yesterday, but I didn't feel particularly energized. I forgot to take a "shot" of it today. I need to read through this thread to see how you ladies are using it...my goal is increased energy.
 
14days into this challenge and haven't missed a day yet!! Whooohhoooo!!! Loving the way I've been feeling. This may be a keeper and a regular vitamin for me even after this challenge is over.:yep:

Great idea! I henna too and I am over due for a treatment. I will henna this weekend as well and take before/after pics for documentation of growth. And, congrats on your hair growth!

I haven't missed a day either. It is like my body craves the shot in the morning. I have never been this consistent with supplements.
 
I just got my teeth cleaned and the hygienist was going on and on about my skin. I don't usually get complements on my skin :grin:
 
I started my 2nd bottle this morning. I can tell my hair is ALOT thicker and I'm sure it's grown. I am transitioning and I've noticed I don't have as much relaxed hair left. My nails are growing, but that could be due to the nail hardner I've been using.
