I type ALL day long(web designer) and love the fact that my nails dont break with all the typing. Had to buy a new nail clipper bc the old one wasnt cutting it.

That's great news because I was once a nail biter and now I have grown out of that phase and have been growing my nails out. The biotin helps a bit but Im open to alternatives.

Wow nice southerncitygirl! I'd like to incorporate some whole food supps, that liquid miracle greens looks interesting. Were you taking syntheic vits before? If yes, have you experienced any difference?

I'm also checking in for the day ladies.

synthetics are toxic and put stress on the liver. i feel i get more bang for the buck with the natural stuff, minerals/vitamins/nutrients are never isolated in nature. i feel great and since i've become veggie my periods are getting lighter and my cramps continue to improve. forgotten foods is having a 3 for $100 sale until Jan 15th, the sale prices aren't on their site you have to call. dhealthstore regularly has 40-50% off sales so keep checking their site. i plan on doing his colon cleanse and the candida one so each would be 20days of raw food while i'm on them.
 
southerncitygirl I really feel like my body is telling me to move back towards the natural stuff. I'm back in school and I take the synthies out of price point, really. I can identify with your experiences, I went raw vegan for about a year and it was amazing. I still eat a high volume of greens and fruit daily, meat maybe 1-2x a week now but ideally I want to get back to that lifestyle. Thanks for the heads up on the sales, those are some decent deals I'll check them out.

Thanks, deedoswell... :sad: I did, I always take it with food to avoid risk of an upset stomach. I don't know... I'm sick so things have been kind of out of sorts. Also I ate red meat which has a lot of iron, which can conflict with vitamins - very farfetched but it's the only thing that makes sense because I've been sick before and vitamins actually made me feel better lol. Also it was weird that I finished eating, I was fine, as soon as I drank one sip of water... I puked. :sad:

Aireen, hope you are feeling better. Sometimes I have to back off of the vitamins when I'm sick.
 
I forgot to add hemp seed oil to my list, when i remember i take 1-2tbsp a day and i love the effect it has on my skin:yep:

All of these vitamins are starting to be overwhelming :(

Yeah, I've been trying to look for ones that contain several that I'm taking now so I can have less to deal with. That's not working out very well. I did get some gummy vitamin D today. It's more to take, but it's easier than more pills.
 
I've been taking my vits., but it has made my complexion horrible! I think I'm going to stop the hair vits after I run out. I love my skin too much.

Don't think going to meet my orginial feb goal but that is ok. My hair right now both edges are in the middle of my ear. the front section tiny piece since i'm in micros is still middle forehead. The very back is hard to measure but its stretching my goal for feb is to reach the end of my ears for my edges also reach the middle of my eyebrows up front. Also to be able to do twist in the back
 
HHG ladies :wave:

I have increased my biotin from 2,000mg to 5,000mg a day, so I'm hoping I won't break-out. I naturally drink loads of water, so I will increase my intake just to be sure as I'm acne prone.

I have achieved approx 2 inches of growth since starting on my vitamin challenge from 15 Nov.
 
Checking in. I was buying some fish oil today to replace my omega 3,6,9 next month and I noticed that almost every type of vitamin is available in a gummy form but they don't seem to have the same concentration as the other vitamins . It might still be worth it for me because ugh idk about all these pills.
