Vitamin Challenge 2013

still on track with my wholefood supplements from forgotten foods, dhealthstore and my hempseed oil. i've been very slack with drinking my water so starting today i've been trying to increase my intake. i fill a gallon pitcher with water and the juice of one lemon and drink as much as i can throughout the day. so far i've had half of that gallon pitcher in addtion to my green tea and oolong tea. trying to stay consistent with my 1 tbsp of blackstrap molasses a day in hot water as well.
 
checking in...

10000 mg biotin daily
1000 mcg garlic daily
1500 mg b-complex thrice daily

(TMI warning)

i've been seeing results in my nails, armpits and pubic hair, lol. i guess it must be working for my head too, haven't seen any results yet though
 
Is anyone in this thread using or still using Purtian pride vitamins? I stopped taking all my vits at one time for some dumb reason I can't remember, and my hair has suffered greatly. But I'm not sure which brands are best

Checking in.

Recently, I've been drinking more water so I hope that helps my system utilize the vitamins I take more effectively.
 
I bought some gelatin capsules today from Walmart. Gonna take them for a few months to see if they make any difference for me.

Stopped taking my Biotin because I haven't been able to find it again since I ran out. Walmart only has the 1000 mcg, so I may have to order from Puritan's Pride.

Still taking multivitamin, MSM, and iron.
 
Since I started blending my vitamins into a smoothie they seem like much less of a chore.
Been slacking on DE, but I am going to get back to it.

I still use some Puritan's Pride and some Nature's Best. Both are good for me.
 
I've been doing a lot of research on the net and reading the thread on LHCF regarding Chlorella. Thinking about trying but not sure. Sometimes I feel as though I just can't take another pill!!!

Currently taking:
womens multi
biotin
B-12 complex
Omega 3-6-9
Bamboo extract

I love silica. I take a Bamboo Extract (70% organic silica) and I drink bamboo leaf tea which has I think 325 mg of silica.

Well, I notice that my nails grow very fast. My skin feels softer. As far as my hair, I haven't done a length check since I started so hopefully when I do I will see some progress there too.
 
Checking in. I'm heading home this weekend and my first stop will be a local health food store. Getting AO GPB (in bulk excited!!!!) and I'm going to reup on my vits. I'll def be adding the silica if I can find it.
 
Oh yea my eye lashes!! Lol they've gotten so long. This girl asked me if I wear false lashes but I didn't think anything of it. Today while I was putting on my mascara I was like WOW those bad boys are looking good lol. They look like that did when I was a child! :) this is the best challenge I've joined!!

Thanks OP!

Has anyone else been noticing these little thing yet. A lot of us have been consistent since at least Oct.
 
Checking in. Just had a retouch so ill be able to see properly how the vitamins are affecting my growth at my next retouch. But so far so good
 
I didn't take a pic of the back yet but I'm really happy with how my hair is progressing, both with the growth and the condition. Definitely think the vits are helping from the inside out. But it does feel like I take pills all day long.

Currently taking

Calcium/vit D 2 chewable before breakfast
Fish oil pills 3 with dinner
Vivisical usually 1/day. Occasionally I take the 2nd one with dinner.
Generic multi vitamin 1/day
