Where did you hear that at? I was thinking about taking these.

i believe i read it on a hair board. might be on here. and also if you do a search online. to prevent it, one has to drink lots of water

Formation of cystine kidney stones, recurrent infections and subsequent renal failure are the main complications

http://www.allstarhealth.com/lj_c/Cysteine.htm

what i also found out is that if kidney stones is in one's family, l-cysteine might cause you to have it.

i started taking l-cysteine again cos i dont know anyone in my family with the problem so wha-ever. lol

hey Den1 - long time no talk to. I have 3 questions for you...what were the dramatic texture results you have had? Ekomba had the same experience, but i have not experienced a texture change. THe other question, how is the sulfur working on your scalp? I bought it and mixed it with cod liver oil, and it is making my scalp itchy, but i my hair looks healthy and it is thickening up. third, can i use nioxin follice nutrient system and still use the sulfur? i dont want to create exploding potions on my head hahahaha.....

Hi Amorette, basically over the last 6 months I’ve been taking msm, silica and the last four weeks I have religiously taken 6,000mg a day of EFAs/EPA fish oils for moisturised scalp and menstrual problems. Well two days ago I took my hair down from my usual bun to wash my hair I parted a section and to my surprise my texture has changed again, the curl pattern is dramatically looser, I was very shocked I can only belive that it’s the EFAs I haven’t upped my dosage of silica or msm yet. I have up to 2 inches of growth. I’ve been using the sulphur oil mix for over 6 months and it really helps to stimulate growth, I use it a couple times a week, my scalp also itchies after every use, proof that’s its working. I’m sure you can use the nioxin follice nutrient system, I also use other growth enhancers on my scalp too, just expect tht you will have some annoying itchies going on.

Yes, i'm serious, i didn't expect this at all, i was hoping for a moisturised scalp, i got that plus more lol. from your pics your hair looks pretty loose though, i definitely attribute the recent change to EFA/EPA oils. All supplements that impact hair texture are silica, l'methonine, l'cysteine, biotin, msm, EFAs/EPAs. those are the main ones. Your taking some great vits there, it took 2 weeks after taking my vits to see a difference, its taken a total of six months to see this degree of change. I'll post more newgrowth pics in a couple of months time.

 

[amorette]

its funny that you say that - that my curls look pretty loose - my curls maybe loose curls to some, but to me they are tight curls, and i want it really loose, like loose waves...lol ...what do each of those producs do for you? like the silica?

silica strengthens the hair and creates a beautiful healthy shine
MSM reduces shedding, strengthens and softens hair
l'methonine, l'cysteine both are sulfur containing amino acids, reduces shedding, increases hair shaft, improves quantitty and quality of hair
biotin speeds hair growth, thickens hair
EFAs/EPA's also improves scalp, skin, hair texture

Also what i notice with supplements is that it restores the hair to a youthful texture, when i was little my hair was a very soft texture like what i'm experiencing now....lol i feel young again.

silica
l'methonine, l'cysteine - do these come in some herbs already or do you take each seperately as a different supplement? I would love to try them. I just tried the nioxin follicle booster on my hairline and it is flaming hot red and my head is throbbing (not painful, just throbbing, like I can feel the blood supply rushing to my scalp) pretty weird feeling! I would love if my texture just straightened out completely with a tiny bit of curl!! that would be ideal...the reason being, i lovve my hair, but you cannot see the length when it is this curly it shrinks up like at least 4-5inches.

You can get the two amino acids in combo
I take the silica (mineral) on its own, by kordels
wow, that follicle booster sounds potent, i was also going to add that the msm is good with Vit c, as it helps blood flow to scalp. I can't say if the supplement will leave you hair with little curl. you need to give yourself six months at least, also because your hair is one texture as its natural it is harder to tell the difference. my hair is relaxed so any change is visible.

 

[amorette]

oh okay - your texture is really pretty now anyway - the curl looks quite loose...wow this follicle stuff IS potent girl! im serious i feel like my scalp had a margarita with 3 shots of tequila!
