One Tip - No Repeat

[Aireen]

If you're taking vitamins, you need to take them for AT LEAST 3 months to see any POSSIBLE benefit. You can't just take your vitamins for a month and rule them out if you don't see any positive effects. Give a vitamin regimen 3-6 months to build up in your body to see strengthening, shine, and maximum growth potential.
