Ladies,

Its been a long time since I have read any post about what vitamins your taking.
I PUT MY HANDS UP. :clap:
I have fallen off the vitamin taking wagon for a few weeks and I have noticed the difference in growth.

Has anyone found any new supplements?

Does anyone need any support getting back on the wagon?

Can any share vitamin regime?

How about a challenge to keep us motivated?

I am up for the challenge. I plan to take three 500 mg capsules of Evening Primrose Oil per day. I will probably throw in a multivitamin in time. I'm still trying to find ones that are small. I tend to choke on bigger ones [not good...].
 
I've been off and on... I just ordered Country Life Maxi Hair vitamin, and I'm gonna take that, L-Cysteine/Vitamin C, and Fish Oil. Just gotta get consistent.
 
Baglady, Reform

Glad your in, we can encourage each other. There was a time when I was on 12 tablets a day.
But I will start off slowly again

2 x GNC Hair and Skin
2 x 500mg MSM
2 table spoones of Liquid Amino Acids (Hated taken all those big tablets)
 
Oh yes. I fell off something terrible! My hair and nails are really seeing the effects. I almost have to do a Big Chop it's so bad.
I'm down to start again!
 
Been on my vitamin regimne since back in Nov 04. I am currently taking:

Puritan Pride Brand
Super Biotin (5000mcg)
MSM (500mcg)
B-100's
Protein Tablets (200mcg)

I have been eyeing GNC's Hairnourisher,flaxseed, and evening primrose to add to the list.

Hi Girl,

Any thoughts on what u will take
 
well i've fell off taking my daily one-a-day vits and was only taking 1 'Vitol Great Hair' pill, then i noticed that my nails were becoming brittle and would not grow long like they used to. So i started back taking my daily vites, along with the 1 Vitol Great Hair tablet. And i just started taking flaxseed capsules this week. Because my scalp and newgrowth is always very dry and i hear this oil will keep my scalp naturally oiled. I'll continue taking all 3 of these a day until i run out of Vitol. then i'll switch back to GNC nourishhair. Like i said, my nails became brittle when taking only Vitol so i'm wondering if they are even potent. :ohwell:

I know what you mean, there is a big difference when I dont take mine. I am cheating at the moment and have on arcylic nails. My nails will look awful underneath. If they make so much difference to your nails then imagine what they do for your hair.
keep going girl, at least you are taking something.

Keep in touch

Mizani I take Great Hair as well....and Flaxseed oil caps...well I used to before I fell off.

I have totally fell off and haven't taken them at all in a long time. I will begin tomorrow taking them 2xs daily. My nails have gotten soft as well.
 
Has anyone found any new supplements?
not really. i decided to start taking msm powder instead of the apsules. so im expecting it from puritans pride

Does anyone need any support getting back on the wagon?
err..i fell of the wagon 3 days ago but i was feeling guilty so i took them today :)

Can any share vitamin regime?
in my siggy
 
I totally stopped due to extreme breakouts and a little weight gain. I am going to slowly introduce them back into by diet.

***stepping forward, head hanging down*** I have fell off the vitamin wagon myself. I was on GOOD for 3 months straight FAITHFULLY! DAY IN, DAY OUT. RAIN OR SHINE. SLEET OR SNOW. It didn't matter. I was taking my pills. Then, one day, I just stopped. Went about 3 weeks on nothing and then got back up to doing them 3 days per week. Now I am struggling to get back to my daily routine. So SICK of taking horsepills you have no idea. BUT, I do feel that there is a slight difference in my growth rate. I am making a pledge here and now to reaffirm my vitamin committment to myself and my hair. :violin:
 
I Know I Defintely Fell Off Taking My Vitamins I'm Up For A Challenge, I Just Have To Remember To Pack Them Up Everyday
 
I'm still taking my vitamins, but I just dropped:

Biotin-Makes me break out in acne :(
MSM-I didn't see any results with this at all. :nono:
 
No, I haven't fallen off, but I did cut back on what I was taking. I ditched the Brewer's Yeast and Alfalfa, and now I only take Flaxseed Oil, GNC Ultra Nourishair, and Super-B Complex.
 
So how long is the challenge? I need some motivation because these pills seem bigger everyday and it's really annoying, but I've been strict wit my vits since April.

Here's what I take:
Puritan's Pride Amino Acids (6 a day)
Puritan's Pride Mega Vitamins (4 a day)
GNC MSM (4 1000mg tablets)
Nature Made Flaxseed Oil (3 a day)
Now Alfalfa (3 a day)
GNC Silica & Pantothenic Acid (sometimes 2x a day)

Also, for the ladies that have switched from MSM capsules to powder, do you notice a difference?

TIA!
 
FALLEN.

After 2 orders, 3 months and $100 I didnt see any amazing results/difference from using HF37 and said I wasnt going to buy anymore. I'm in LOVE :kissing4: with MTG right about now so Im cool.
 
Yeah, I have to admit.

I've sort of fallen off of the vitamin regimen bandwagon also. I guess I just got lazy with it. I went from taking GNC hair, skin, and nails twice a day to taking only the GNC biotin pills and one-a-day tablets. I think the biotin probably worked better for me than the hair skin and nails product even. It was a LOT easier to take too!

I think I'll go back to the biotin 2500 mg supplements. MY hair was getting really thick, and my nails were growing.

PS- reformatio, I LUUUV that picture of Hayden you have in your siggy! Yum! :D
 
I've started blending my vitamins with my protein sheakes. It works for me. I noticed that I am more prone to drinking my shakes and taking my vitamins when done like this.
 
I'm so off the wagon it's not even funny. Since I stopped taking my powdered MSM every single nail on my hand has broken. *sigh* My life is so crazy right now though that I can't even feel too bad about it. Once I have things back on track, I still vow to return!
