[ak46]

I take:

Quick Question: do you ladies think it will be a good idea for me to incorporate Nioxin into my regimen...or is that doing too much? I'm skeptical when it comes to taking pills....I'm afraid of oversdosing or something like that...lol.

 

[Aquamarie]

I take viviscal regularly and the GNC hair, skin & nails pill when I remember.

The Viviscal does wonders for my nails and the GNC pill makes my skill beautiful. I'm not sure if they improve my hair I'm trying not to really look until late September early October.

[Radianthealth]

I follow the Bargello regime. So I am taking about 20 pills per day. It is annoying, but my skin looks flawless. Which is good since I wear so many protective styles.

What is the Bargello regimen?

 

[Radianthealth]

I learned about if from Lucia's website. Here is a link to the thread with the article in it:

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=2433&highlight=Bargello

I haven't noticed an increase in hair growth yet, but my skin looks amazing!!!

I have always had "agreeable skin" but now it looks more even, no blemishes and even more "glow" I have had many compliments.

Anyway, I did a little research because I was concerned about taking too many vitamins and I believe as long as they are not fat soluble (most aren't) it should be okay.

[loonatick]

mine are in my siggy

i have just finished with biotin to see if there is any change. i dont think its agreeing with my skin. Im upping my water though.

 

[queenspence]

I used to take a multivitamin and a b-complex, but that addition got too expensive so i just stick to my multi and vitamin c chewable. I eat sensibly and I love what it's doing to my hair. All that protein that I eat makes my hair super thick... it won't relax

How much protein do you consume?
