What vitamins are you taking?

[justnotsure]

I am wondering what vitamins are you guys taking. I just started on a basic women's one a day vitamins. Have you noticed a difference? Tell me your story and post some pictures!!

 

[favorc]

I take:

Futurebiotics hair skin and nails-3
Grapeseed extract-2 (200mg)
alpha lopic acid-1 (100mg)
coq-10-1 (50mg)
multivit-2
msm-2 (2000mg)

I know, I know. I take alot of pills, but I like the results that I get and it is worth it. My hair is healthy and longer. I have been taking my vits faithfully for about 2 yrs now except the cq-10 and alpha. i have been taking those for about 6 months.

 

[Energee]

I take:
Futurbiotics Hair, Skin and Nails
B-Complex
Vitamin C
Calcium
Omega 3-6-9

I've been taking the last 4 forever. I was taking a regular multi before switching it out two months ago for the Futurbiotics...so far I like this vitamin.

I just started taking vitamins again, so I haven't noticed much of a difference yet, but I'm taking:

Now Daily Multivitamin
Biosil 10 drops a day
Puritan's Pride B-5 (Pantothenic Acid) 500mg x2
Puritan's Pride Flaxseed oil 1000mg x2
Now brand B-2 (Riboflavin) 100mg x1

 

[EMJazzy]

My daily intake is:

B-5
B-Complex
Horsetail Silica
Flaxseed oil
MSM
and just recently added.....Kelp

I had to stop taking my One-A-Day Women's Weight Smart because the caffeine in it clashed with the Kelp and I need the Kelp to regulate my thyroid, so for the time being I'm just going to take my current vitamin regimen and if I feel like I need to take an additional multi-vitamin later then I'll add it.

FavorC.....what are the hair benefits of alpha lopic acid and coq-10-1?

I attribute this growth to my vitamins and the Boundless Tresses I use 3x a week.

I take just a good quality recommended by a natural nutritionist. I minored in nutrition and learned that by taking too many different vitamins or an upped dose of one in particular can do more harm than good. Most of the water soluable vitamins just wash out of our system while the lipid soluable can be hazardous if taken together in too many forms. Some can have weird interactions as well. I stick to the one and anything extra comes from my diet. I have seen good results this way.

^^ This is why I prefer to take something that has combinations put together by people who know what they're doing.

I take USANA Essentials and Whole Foods' Flaxseed oil

That's the best way to go! If I ever have questions about a combination I ask a nutritionist to make sure. I know a good deal about vitamins, but not enough to formulate my own mix..just yet!

Hi. I don't have any pics yet but I'm working on it. I have noticed a lot of thickness and new growth from taking supplements in August and September. I take Nature Made Multi For Her with Iron and Calcium, Ultra Nourishair and Fish Oil pills. I've been taking fish oil for about two years and love it, I think it works well for overall health. Sometimes I'll do a protein shake and add this green powder called Magma Plus too.

Thanks for all the replies...I'm currently taking Women's one a day, biotin and fish oil. It hasn't even been 1 whole week, but I'll let you know how it goes!

 

[Britt]

I am taking:

Andrew Lessman's Hair, Skin and Nails - only for a month so far, I see no difference in anything yet.

Vitamin E - Taking it for about 6 weeks, started taking it for my brittle nails and it's suppose to be a good antioxidant. May not repurchase after this bottle is done.

Womens Multi - Just for good health

 

[girlyprincess23]

Right now I'm taking
Biotin
Flaxseed Oil
Fish Oil
B-Complex
Centrum Complete (i think)
MSM
Vitamin C

Im getting good growth but that could also be due to the mixture of DooGro,BT, WGO, and MN that I use daily and cowashes. Who knows but all together it's working beautifully!!!
