Vitamin Challenge 2013

I almost choked trying to swallow that alive raw vitamin. Why do they make them so big? Well I am on my last bottle. It was a gift, and they do work well but watch out.

Just bought 10,000 biotin. The most I have ever used is 5,000. As I recall it broke me out something awful in the beginning, then my skin turned fabulous. Hoping to get some thicker longer hair out of 10,000.

My cousin has raved about 10,000mcg of biotin Seamonster and she loved them. She said it gave her thicker stronger hair and lashes. HTH!!!
 
Not too sure if it's too late to 'officially' join but I'm down for this!
For the past few days I've been taking (once daily):

- Multivitamin (Centrum)
- Biotin (5000mcg)
- B-Complex (B-50)
- Raspberry ketones w/ green tea (started taking to help w/ weight loss- does nothing as far as I can tell :ohwell:)

Will be adding fish oil soon...

Thanks for starting this Challenge, I would love to Join. I am new to the site and this is going to be my second challenge I have entered for 2013.

State what supplements you will be taking and how often - I am not sure as of yet, i will update you at the end of this month. (time to go shopping)

*I am open to advise on the Vitamins I should start out taking.

I am giving an update, as of right now I am taking a multi vitamin, vitamin A & Iron Daily.
 
I've been taking my supplements regularly. I might go back to 1,000 mcg Biotin, since I'm not sure if 5,000 is really that much better.

Yesterday I went and picked up one of those medicine/pill organizers from the Dollar Tree. Each day has a section for morning and night. Since some of the items I have want me to take them throughout the day, I figured this would be a good way to organize. Plus, I cut back on how many things I had to take at once by saving the items not dedicated to providing energy for later in the day. I was going to print off a list to check off each day but having everything here on my desk ready to go makes it so much easier to stay on track. :yep:


Oh yeah, I took my vitamins today. :yep: I haven't endured the chlorella yet.
 
I took my vitamins all this week! I'm really proud of myself for remembering. I take 10mg of silica 2x a day. So I can remember I take both pills when I get home from work during dinner.

Skipped one day again 2 days ago. =___=; Going back to putting my vitamins in my pink pillbox, so much easier to keep up/remember to take 'em.

BTW, FOR THOSE TAKING MINERAL RICH! Are you guys seeing more growth?
 
I'd like to join this challenge, I really need to stop mucking around and commit to taking my supplements. For the first time my nails in my life my nails are weak and peeling, a clear sign for me that my i'm not getting enough nutrients.

I'm starting pretty basic with a multi and fish oil. I want to gain momentum with the basics before I add anymore.
 
Good morning, I notice a lot of people are taking Biotin. I was wondering how has it help you? What are some of the wonderful things about this vitamin, I am thinking about trying them out just not sure as of yet.
 
I take Hairfinity, Centrum Chewable multivitamin, Nature Made Omega 3 6 9 . And I'm also taking Natures Life Marine Collagen because I ordered two bottles but I probably won't repurchase .
 
Checking in! My nails are hard and strong. I went to the nail shop and the nail tech kept saying what nice nails I have. Now that's motivation to keep my vitamin regimen up!
 
Checking in for this weekend. I took all my vitamins and I took my morning vitamins this morning doing good so far.

Took all my vita's today. I news to buy one of those weekly pill containers for my desk. I always forget until its too late.
 
Checking in for the week. I've been taking my 5,000 mcg Biotin, multi, 1,000 vitamin C & MSM. I've moved up from 2,000 MSM to 3,000 a day now but split them between AM & PM since its 1,000 per pill. Too many!! I've also been remembering my B-complex. It's liquid (can't put it in my pill reminder) so I don't usually remember that one. :spinning:

I started taking mines faithfully about 3-4 months ago & i didn't notice a change until I boosted up from 1,000 mcg to 5,000. Not everyone can do 5,000 a day though. I've noticed that my NG has gotten a lot thicker. The biggest thing that I noticed though was (don't laugh) but my eyelashes have gotten thicker also! LOL! I used to attempt to put on falsies when I had somewhere to go but about a week ago, I was able to just do mascara without falsies & they were super thick. This is the same masacara that I've used for a while now & the extending kind, not the volumizing kind.
