I WAS CONSIDERING THESE!! BUT I WAS SKEPTICAL DO THEY REALLY WORK?? AND IF SO DID YOU SEE RAPID GROWTH OR JUST STRONGER THICKER HAIR?????????

I first started seeing stronger healthier hair before my growth. I took two at night with water. I haven't taken any in like five months and that was after my cut back to shoulder length. So I basically went from SL to APL without Hairfinity and it only took seven months. I believe if I was still taking Hairfinity I would have achieved APL way faster. I have been thinking about trying some supplements from GNC like MSM, Biotin, Silica, and women's one a day.
 
My Priteva made it!!! Yep I'm excited :). I decided to continue 7500mcg biotin, Priteva and I'll add a MSM source when I find one...

Prayerfully my hair will grow long and strong without looking like the lochness monster when I'm done lol! :)

My viviscal just arrived...trying to decide when to start. I really like to start new hair things on the 1st of the month so I was going to start Nov 1, easier for me to keep track of times, but I am anxious to get started!

I started this morning!:spinning:
 
What's the benefit of fish oil? I took it when I had a sore knee but didn't notice anything with my hair.
 
I want to join too.
I take.
Glucosamine chondroitin and Msm for joints
I want a higher dosage of Msm though.

I take the hair topia vitamins don't know if I'll repurchase.

I also have chlorella and spirulina
I want to get fish oil for knees and hair
 
I took my biotin today!! I finally remembered to take it! This weekend I am on a hunt for an another vitamin supplement. I plan on buying one from my natural food store.
 
I would like to join. I've been a member of LHCF for some time, but mostly I've lurked. I have decided to actually join a challenge and since I was planning to do my own vitamin challenge before I came across this thread, I'd love to have and give some support!

Currently I'm taking:
Viviscal 2x's/day
Walmart hair, skin, nails 2x's/day
Glucosamine (for my knees)
MSM 1000mg 2x's/day
Silica--I have both the horsetail and the bamboo. I bought the horsetail first and when I read about the bamboo being better, I bought that.

Starting Jan 1, I'll be taking the everything as above, except for the silica. I will be taking 700mg Bamboo extract silica once a day. Thanks and I'm looking forward to this. BTW, where can I get a hair length shirt that I see many of the women wearing in these pictures? I want one :yep:

I'll post my starting picture by Dec, I promise!!
 
I'm hoping this challenge will help me with consistency!

Intended Daily Vitamins:
GNC Women's Ultra Mega (1 tablet, not the recommended 2)
GNC B-Complex 125 with C (1 Tablet)
Now MSM Powder (1/2 Teaspoon)
Kyolic garlic pills (4 tablets)
Spirulina (6 tablets)

Every other day
Biotin 600 (1 tablet)

Wish to add before January:
A liquid vitamin to replace GNC Women's Ultra Mega
Silica (will probably go on the every other day rotation)

I hope to post my starting pic sometime in November.

I forgot about those! I'm copying and then I'm done before I'm a hairy beast! LOL So my UPDATED and FINALIZED list:

Priteva-- forgot the strength:ohwell:
MSM 1000mg
Biotin 7500mcg
Pre-Natal vits (I'll have to find a good one with iron)
 
I am currently taking women's one-a-day, garlic and biotin. I'm thinking about starting on MSM but I'm not quite sure which supplement is the best, any suggestion?

Here's my starting picture which was taken today, one day post of a relaxer but my hair is still wet

I'll be taking 10,000 mcg of biotin and 1500 mg of fish oil daily.

Morning Ladies!!

Today I plan on buying some Silica. Do any of you ladies take Silica in the liquid form? I'm hoping they have it at Target. I plan on checking there website now. If not I'll get it from GNC.

Fish oil has anti-inflammatory properties shared by other essential oils that have been shown to benefit scalp health. Inflammation of the scalp inhibits the growth of hair. Fish oil has been shown to improve the condition of poor skin and is used to treat a number of skin conditions such as eczema, lesions, rashes, psoriasis, acne and dry skin.
