I just brought 90 day supply and took my first vitamin today. I had to cut my pill in half b cuz these things are huuuuge i dont do big pills....lol.. I am going to start off with one pill a day. I have to force myself to drink fluids because i am never thirsty so increasing my water intake will be a challenge
 
Truthfully, I started taking them on April 18th and I haven't seen a noticeable difference in anything. I just got a touch up yesterday after 10 wks, I had a lot of new growth, but I don't know if that's b/c of the vitamins. It seems around what I would usually get. Also, I don't see a real discernible difference in my nails either. I don't see a change in my body hair either. I am def going to finish the bottle, b/c I'd like to take it for a good 3 months before I make any assessment.
 
An_gell the pictures in my signature? I wasn't taking the pills during that date range, that's what I retained last year. I started Nioxin the same week I took the second pic.

I dunno, I think I'll put the shirt on today & do a length check...I don't know what good that will do if I'm looking for the inch...maybe I should have worn a shirt with more stripes..lol. I bought mommy a 90 bottle for herself & she was so excited~! I'm going to take starter pics for her & share her progress too. She has substantial bald patches in her crown & the hair is thin, so we'll see. :)

mzsophisticated26 cutting it in half doesn't hurt your throat? I made the mistake of biting down on one & swallowed half, I could feel the edge graze my esophagus. No fun at all.

no suprisingly it did not, the largest pill i can take is aleve or motrin..:lachen:. I hate large pills so much that take adult gummi vitamins.After I use up this 90 day supply, I may have to switch to hairfinity because they are capules

Ohh, okay. Thank you for explaining, ya hair is beautiful either way. :-)
 
How many pills are most taking per day?? I was reading on a hairboard this one lady was taking 3 per day :-/ .


I'm taking a week off of them. I will start back this upcoming weekend.
 
I'm taking 1 a day. See how it works on someone with Female Pattern Baldness (dht and androgen related hair loss. PCOS and post pardom people experience this also)

Update:

Well I stopped the pills after 6weeks due to freakish growth. One month at 1 pill per day; and two weeks at 2/day. I must tell you, I experienced hideous growth...I mean Teen wolf type growth. I am not a hairy woman...and started getting a hair where I didn't know I had a hair follicle. I can't get with that...stopped the pills that day. Not to mention, the hair is painful, itchy, & throbbing as it grows in (ouch). My scalp was very tender. its like the hair has a life of its own

I am HOWLING~ :lachen::lachen::lachen:No pun intended. Girl thats a whole lot going on up there! :lachen:
 
My chin breakouts started getting worse,and would not go away,no matter what I did this time,so I quit these almost two weeks ago. I'm back to taking my Futurebiotics hair,skin,and nails multi. They smell so bad since I havent opened the bottle in about a month. Blech. I'm finishing these though. I might slowly add back one of the Nioxin a day,but I'm not doing two though. I only have about 20 left from the 90 count bottle anyway. They are nice supplements though. My skin just was not feeling it!
 
JerriBlank - if you took two a day, that was probably the source of your problem with the breakouts. The directions state one a day. A lot of people who took/take 2/day reported skin issues. I wonder if it was more the dosage than the nioxin in this case.

Quick update. I'm not taking 3 per day because I don't have the discipline. I'm doing a cleanse for the 7 days starting tuesday and I'm stopping all vitamins and meds until I'm through with that. When I start again I'll just take 2 a day because I can do that without forgetting.

GJIna Great Growth!



Happy Hair Growing!
 
I'm almost at a month taking these pills. I haven't had any body hair growth increase.

But my scalp is tender and itchy.

Is this normal?

ETA: I'm only taking one pill per day.

I've been taking two a day for a week now. Obviously, I haven't seen any growth in my hair or nails yet, but the Nioxin made my stress related acne go away. So... I'm a happy camper.

And I'm proud of myself because I haven't missed a day or dosage. :)

MarriageMaterial My scalp at the crown has become very itchy. I haven't made a change to my regimen except taking nioxin since april 20th and I do not apply any product or oil to my scalp except on wash day (HOT) so I chalked up my itchy scalp to the nioxin.

I thought I was the only one experiencing this.

againstallodds I do add castor oil and jojoba oil mixture to my scalp twice a week. But I also cowash once a week, so the mixture isn't on my hair for a long period of time (at most 2-3 days a week).

My itchy/tender scalp is in the back. I'm going to take a few days off from the pill. I hope this means my hair is growing.

My reaction was the same. At first I thought I was hallucinating. But no, I went to visit my mom who had not seen me for 2 days and she was like, what did you do? You have new growth everywhere?!?!?:blush: That is when I realized I was not dreaming!!! It was real!!!!!!!
 
Behold another bandwagon hopper :)

Popped my first one today!

Hopefully with 1x Nioxin and BT daily I will see some results!
 
Taking 2 a day, nails are stronger, hair is a little thicker but not any major hair growth.:ohwell: I'll gave it at least another month or two before I decide whether or not to continue.
 
I really like these pills, but I think I'm going to add extra biotin for my nails. They are strong but the tops seem like they are a bit easier to peel.
 
Nails overall are stronger. Will find out about hair growth tomorrow when I relax tomorrow. At first, it made my skin glow. Now, not so much but no breakouts. Still deciding if I will continue.

I officially need a new bottle!! And FAST. :-( The ones sold local are so expensive ugh. Maybe I will just get the 30 count locally and order the 90 count on amazon like i did before....hmmmmm
 
blessedandlucky

Yes I've been using them since Feb 27th I think! So I've used them a full three months and I'm finally noticing 1inch growth. What I noticed first though was thickness. My new growth since using the vitamins is much thicker than the rest of my hair. Thats why I am fiending like an addict to get another bottle. But thankfully a fellow LHCF member saved the day lol!! So I will have some soon!
