What is the key to your vitamin regimen?

[Dyzne]

Everyone has their secret recipes, and I wanted to know out of all the vitamins you take which is the key ingredient for you? Ok top 2

. Thanks for taking the time.

 

[sabie19]

Biotin and Evening Primose Oil

 

[soulchild]

Are you asking for our 2 favorite vitamins?

EPO and flax seed oil, that's all I've ever tried though.

 

[adrienne0914]

for me, the first key is taking them consistently. second, if you're asking which vitamins have helped most with the hair, i would say the B5 and biotin.

 

[northernbelle]

For me, it is the 1,000 mg of Vitamin Ester-C, for a stronger immune system.

Is there anyboddy on this board taking vitamins for health reasons, and not for hair reasons?

Northernbelle, I love taking ester C. I only take 500mg at a time and I'm not consistent with it. When I do remember to take it, my body immediately responds to it. I feel more energetic and my pimples start to clear up. My mood improves too..

 

[earthtones]

I would say my top 2, for hair, is biotin and MSM. And yes, I also take vitamins everyday for good health.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

Biotin
MSM( I am loving this stuff)

Make sure that you stay consistant

 

[joyous]

Silica Complex
Biotin

 

[hotshot]

multi vitamins will automatically boost hair grow- MSM is also great for hair, skin, nails, joints. . .i love it.

 

[CICI24]

women's multivitamin and msm

 

[adrienne0914]

moezthunder, those two made my hair grow in thicker. i mean it's a really noticeable difference too. i think i first noticed after taking for about 6 months. you have to take it long enough to get a significant amount of new growth to notice it. i don't know that any of them make my hair grow faster on a consistent basis, but i'm used to that.

northernbelle, since my diet isn't always the best, i take most of the vitamins for my overall health moreso than for hair growth. that's why i've continued to take them even though my hair doesn't really grow faster.

 

[LABETT]

viviscal or delinea

 

[Dyzne]

Wow I think I'm taking too much

...I take....
2 Silica - 500mg each
2 Primrose - 1300mg each
2 Flaxoil - 1000mg each
2 MSM - 1000 mg each
2 biotin - 1000 mcg each
2 GNC Ultra Nourishair (has biotin, silica and MSM)
1 Daily vitamin - has 100% of everything
Milk
Soy Protein Shake Mix it all together and drink
I'm new to this, can anyone tweak this for me I think I'm taking too much.

Gosh.
Thank you for taking the time.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

The only thing I see is that you may want to up your biotin intake to about 5 mg. Biotin is great for speading up hair growth.

 

[Dyzne]

Forgive me for asking but what is "moezthunder" and where can I get it. thanks for taking the time.

 

[HotCoCoGurl130]

I think the first thing to do is to take them consistently. I take PP Biotin, Natures Bounty MSM and powdered MSM.

 

[soulchild]

Dyzne, MoezThunger is the name of a board member here.

Sounds like you're trying to add more to your regimin.

If you're looking to minimize your vitamins, looking at your list I would take out either Flax oil or Evening Primrose, since they are both essential fatty acids and maybe the silica. It's always smart to start with only a few vitamins and then build from there so that you have a sense of what each vitamin is doing for you.

 

[Dyzne]

sounds like a plan I like. as they say sometimes less is more. thanks for taking the time. its greatly appreciated.

 

[adrienne0914]

dzyne, soulchild is right. i was answering moezthunder's question. the two vitamins i was referring to for thicker hair are B5 and biotin.

i also agree with soulchild about the flax or EPO. to cut down, i'd take one or the other, not both. and i also agree with DSD. increase the biotin to 5mg. the way to do that is to buy a 5mg capsule. so you only have to take one a day. i take the Vitamin Shoppe brand.

 

[MoezThunder]

Adrienne, I just started DSD's biotin routine today. 12.5gm-1st week/ 10gm-2nd week/ then 7gm I think and none on the 4th week. I kind of thought the biotin and the B5 were the same though. I'm wondering cuz i am about to buy some GNC ultranourish hair &amp;nail that was on the exchange board; but she was also selling the B5 too.

 

[adrienne0914]

moez, both B5 and biotin are B vitamins, but beyond that, they're pretty different. here's some info on both:

I hope this works out as well for you as it does for me! Good Luck and please please please don't forget to let me know your results!

 

[Dyzne]

I definitely need to tweak the bargello. thanks

 

[perfectpeace]

For me,
Consistency
Lots of water (Im trying . . .)
MSM
Biotin

Hey Dyzne, I notice you use Emu oil. How long have you been taking it? Have you noticed improvements on your scalp and where did you purchase yours? Thanks.

 

[Dyzne]

I use a table spoon of the Jojoba and Emu and 1/2 tsp of the other oils mix them together heat in the microwave for 13 secs apply to my hair massage it for a minute or 2 and sit under a dryer for 30 minutes or sometimes longer. I started this because my scalp was so dry and itchy and I must admit my scalp has felt a lot better. I am not quite sure which oil to thank but the combination works for me as a great hot oil treatment before i shampoo. I hope this makes sense and thanks for asking. If you do a search you may find better information from the other here on the website. That's how I get great advice and inspiration .

 

[soulchild]

That sounds like a good mixture Dzyne.

 

[MoezThunder]

Thanks Adrienne for the info. Good lookin out! DSD, girl you know I'ma keep you posted PLUS I just found somewhere to buy the Surge; so you know I'ma have alot to say
