Is it too late to join? I just bought TwinLabs cod liver oil yesterday. So I came on the boards to do some research, and found this challenge. I will pick up more supplies tomorrow. I will come and edit this post to show what else I will taking daily :yep:
 
You're in cutenss. No nail growth for me yet either...Mine are flaking off since I stopped with the Omega 3 after Christmas!
 
Thanks for adding me Aviah. I am definately going to appreicate getting my nails back after having to BC them, for packing and moving :yep: I am hoping to also see skin benefits.
 
I'll Join! I already take Carlson's cod liver oil. I took it the whole time I was pregnant with DD. It was said to be very healthy for pregnancy and also helps babies brain development resulting in babies with higher IQ. I can tell you one thing DD is really smart for her age! I think now that she's 1 year old I'm going to start her taking it again.:yep:

I took Evening Primrose oil for a while and it made my boobs bigger.:nono: I will start taking it again for this challenge because I already have 4 bottles of it just sitting in the cabinet. I just hope I don't get that side effect again. On the plus side it did make my skin really clear.:yep:

I never took barage oil before, but I will go buy some today.:yep:

My nails are still growing like crazy.

How am I the only one? I must have had a serious deficiency or something because the result of my nails are similar to that of biotin. Lets hope I can say the same thing about my hair :)

Also, my skin has been so good as well- which is something we all know biotin WON'T get you. Blemishes clear up faster, dark spots fade faster, cuts heal faster... I feel like friggen super woman over here!

for reference:
I am also taking ALA and maca supplements and eat a diet relatively free of processed food
 
Ladies listen to this presentation, he is talking about EFA and the benefit for hair and skin!!!:grin::grin::grin: YouTube - lifesavingfats's Channel

My grandmother has been taking EFA for a long time! She is 73 and looks like she is 49! Her skin is beautiful and at 73 her hair is still growing. She cut it a while back but it's already grown back to armpit length.:yep:

So I put in crochet braids last week with extensions for the base (to make it more secure) and went about my business. These are 12 cornrows, and they were pretty firm last Saturday. Today, however they are looser than what I would have expected. I doubt they would have grown much in a week, but I wonder if a itty bitty bit may be growth? I'd have to take it out to see, but that won't be for at least another three weeks. I've been taking these for about two weeks now, haven't washed my hair yet and only sprayed it a few times. :perplexed

For the next 2 weeks I will be taking black seed 3xs a day for PMS...It always works for me..then I stop...



Happy Hair Growing!
 
I'm upping my weekly dosage. I can't take both daily because of the vit E content in both of them, but I'm ditching my multi for now, and just alternating between the Borage and omega three oils. I can't report any progress if there as any- I'm in crochet braids. Anyone else seeing results (skin, nails, etc)?
My nails are growing but I keep cutting them.
 
I can't even give an opinon yet cause in my experience it may take awhile, like up to a month to see how something is working, like my lecithin.

But it's not hurting anything soooo I just got my bigger bottle in the mail since GNC had a bogo and I had to re-up on my vitamins.

Hmm, I thought it may make a difference earlier because they were oils and not solid vitamins (if that makes any sense).

nah with my lecithin it was maybe a month and then as long as i stayed consistent i noticed a difference. my nails have neverrrrrrr stayed this long!!!!
 
Nice, I guess its motivation to stay consistent. BTW I just caved in and bought MN. I really want that APL this year. I was at work thinking about when I take out my crochet braids, if I would get kinky twists, braids, or a phony pony to PS with. Might as well be in boot camp!
