All of you taking vitamins, how much water do you drink? I feel like I have to drink way more than 8 glasses.

Why do you feel that way? You should be fine as long as you're not super thirsty and your urine is colorless or light yellow. Unless maybe you're taking something that requires you to drink a lot? :scratchch I drink about 40 oz in a day, but I get it from other sources too.

I thought page 2 had some good info on it, if you want to check it out.

That's exactly why I feel like I'm not getting enough water, I'll go to the bathroom and it won't be colourless. :ohwell: So I thought everyone in here would be drinking more than the average amount of water. I'll admit, I'm not a water drinker but even when I'm providing my body with the adequate intake, it seems like I need so much more.

Hmm. Are you taking a B complex? I heard that can change the color.

I don't drink as much as I think I should. Water is my main drink but I HAVE to have a cup of coffee in the morning - which has water! :ohwell:

I think I get in about 60 oz a day; but not everyday.

Well I'm fresh out of ideas then. Sorry I can't be of more help. :/

Biotin is a b vitamin and pre natals more than likely have b vitamins in it...so it more than likely may be it...especially if you started taking them recently or changing companies...

ETA: nevermind...I see you figured out the problem... :-)

It's the caffeine in the coffee that causes dehydration, not the coffee itself. Caffeine is a pretty potent diuretic. In fact, a lot of diuretic pills contain caffeine to aid in water and weight loss.

If you're gonna drink caffeinated coffee (and to me, decaffeinated coffee is just WRONG), it's good to drink a cup of water for every cup of coffee that you drink in order to counter the effects of the caffeine diuresis.

Hope this helps--too bad I don't take much of my own advice :-)

I'm in. I'm not raking anything eight now, but I did buy some prenatal, Nioxin, and Botin. I tried the Biotin before and it brought back my teen acne, but I'm willing to try it again I'm open to any suggestions anyone may have. I plan on taking pics at the end of every month. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
 
Im in!!!!

I have a few bottles of vitamins that I need to use up. I have a month's supply of Nioxin (I saw good growth with it), a month's supply of Hairfinity. I want to try the Priteva vits so I will get them in the next couple weeks. I would like to start taking fish oil as well. I need to find a reliable supplier. Any ideas ladies??? Aside from that, I take a multi vitamin, iron tablet.
