Vitamin Challenge 2013

:grin: Just a heads up for you ladies if you're interested!! CVS & Walgreens is having a sale on their vitamins up until Saturday. All CVS brands are definitely buy 1 get 1 free but only SOME of the other brands are too. Some of the other brands are also buy 1 get 1 50% off. Walgreens is buy 1 get 1 50% off. I'll be stopping to CVS after work for the MSM & more Biotin plus I accumulate my register bucks so I'll be able to use them towards my purchase!!

Great!!!! Thanks!
 
Two biotin tablets left...trying to decide whether to continue at 1000 mcg, increase, or stop? I can't tell whether it's been helping or not? Been taking it consistently for almost 2 months.
 
Took my 5000mcg of biotin, multi-vitamin, & B-complex yesterday & today. Decided to drop the Vitamin C to 500mg though. Haven’t gotten a chance to go get my MSM from CVS for the sale due to the timing that I get off & have to get to daycare but I’ll aim for getting there this evening.

Started getting the biotin bumps so I need to take a break for a bit.

I started breaking out too! I take four biotin pills a day (each 5,000 mcg) and I increased my water intake and now my skin is clear. That coupled with the Mineral Rich I've been taking has done wonders for my skin.

Sale? Did somebody say sale?
 
I hope everyone is doing well and getting a head start on the vit challenge!!! I've already seen a difference and I hope the new vits add to the progress :yep:

I've been taking 5000 mcg for a while now and I always say I think it's the reason I still have hair on my head.

I have been really thinking about getting some. What brand are you taking?

SincerelyBeautiful. I used I order mine from this company called Elon years ago before the 5000s became popular, but since they have the 5000 mcg in CVS and other drug stores now, it's easier to get.

I found out from a post on this site taking a B-Complex can help combat skin break-outs from taking biotin. Also, be sure to increase your water intake. I tried it -- it works! I take NOW B-Complex 100mg daily. My hair thrives from taking biotin, but it does nothing for my nails. HTH

I think I'm going to increase...but I get tired of taking some many vits a day. I feel like I need to simplify.

Right now I take a multi and viviscal in the am. Biotin and calcium/vit D at lunch. Viviscal and calcium/d at night.

Great! I just got some Target coupons so I'll go buy a B-Complex and some gummy vits. :lol:
 
I have been forgetting my vits these last few days, I will get back on it by 2013. I am running low too.
