Are the Exotic Allure vitamins working for you? I've been taking them since November and I find that the GNC Ultranourishair worked better for me. In fact, I don't think the Exotic Allure vitamins are working at all. Unfortunately, I signed up for a year long free shipping thing with them so it's going to be a while (although when I get a job I may just go ahead and pay the $20 to cancel).

You know, now that I think about it, I haven't noticed any extra growth! I've been taking them for two months and my hair's still growing slow as hell--as usual

erplexed

I know my other vits are working: the bamboo has cleared up my complexion and the msm has helped with my joint pain and softening my newgrowth. So IDK why I'm not seeing the effects of the Fast Grow....

I still have a half bottle of Ultra Nourishair, I'm gonna start taking it again after I finish this Fast Grow. The only thing I hate about the Nourishair is the size. I already have a hard time swallowing pills, and these big ol things always get stuck in my throat :nono:

UltraNourishHair is a big pill (well 2 pills, lol). I was also taking the GNC WOmen's Ultra Mega multivitamin, and the pills are the same size as the UNH.

Now I take:
Trader Joe's chewable multi vitamin
Flax seed oil - 1000 mg
Evening Primrose- 1000mg
MSM - 1500mg (talk about horse pills!)
Biotin - 5mg (this is the smallest little capsule I have ever seen)
Silica - I don't remember the dosage, I want to say 500mg?
GNC Ultra Nourish Hair
Caltrate chewable calcium - 2 tablets daily

I have been taking them since January and I feel like the hair that's growing in is much stronger than it was before, and has more sheen. People are telling me that it's growing fast, but I still feel like it's growing back pretty slow.

Taken my pills yesterday and today. My fish oils are coming to an end and as I'm not a budget, I'm not buying anymore.

I've got these vitamins that were recommended on here ages ago that I haven't taken. They have everything in it.

Alive!® supplements are the ultimate Whole Food Energizers™-- with more invigorating nutrients from more natural sources than any other product.

A proper breakdown of it's ingredients here.

No I started to try and take them yesterday. They don't taste very nice :nono:

Surfer Girl · Apr 12, 2008

Hey all, I never officially joined this challange, However I have been taking mine daily. I have been slowly increasing my dosages. Anyone else notice massive fingernail growth and eyebrow hair growth?? I mean I expected it with hairgrowth but wow.
These things are like steel nails. I've had to increase my threading visits. These are my daily;
MSM 2000mg
Biotin 1000mcg
Omega 3-6-9....Gummies!!
B complex...Gummies!!!
Source of life multivit drink (ENERGY)

I am so in love with the vitamin shoppe. They cost a bit more, but I can finally take Omegas and B's daily. I hate biggo pills.
