Nioxin OD=2 inches a month

[msdarknlovely]

Hey Ladies
I just recieved my nioxin recharging complex vitamins and I read that some ladies where doubling their dosage and getting 2 inches a month. I ordered 2 bottles of the 90 count and before I waste any I wanted to know if you guys can share your results. Can and tell me how long it was before you saw results and how many pills you took.

Thanks Ladies

Oh and before i forget I purchased them for $26 with free shipping on Amazon

I've not used it, but the reviews on Amazon are very favourable though. I read one review where the lady got two inches in a month but still gave it four stars! What more does she want?

Hopefully some ladies can chime in with their thoughts.

I've been reading the reviews on Amazon.com and it sounds great. Bumping so that those who actually use the product can respond.

Here is a thread I found:

Yeah i don't get the reviews on Amazon...they're like I love the product its the best I've ever used but... I'm going to give it 2 stars...lol...
But yeah I really want to get some more reviews of those getting 2 inches a month...
Okay ladies now I will warn you that there were some reviews stating that they did get hair all over...hopefully I won't experieince this side effect...This is one reason I hate using hair pills I experienced this with h37 and GNC ultranourish..
.But then again I will make some sacrifices for 2 inches a month or 24 inches in a year...can you imagine

From the reviews I've seen it looks like a lot of people using it were experiencing shedding/hair loss. I'm curious to see what the results would be for someone with average growth.

hmmm I haven't read this...Don't tell me that now I'm freaking out...Ladies who've actually used the product can you please chime in...Now one thing I can say is that almost every product that I have read about hair growth (mega tek, oct, mtg) have mentioned shedding...So I guess I will be incorporating my garlic shamposs...More reviews please....

Oh no, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you! I meant that they were experiencing shedding, and the Nioxin helped them. I am just wondering what it would do if you weren't having any problems with your hair and already have good growth. The women in the review who said she got two inches on Amazon said she was also using all of their other products, so I'd like to see impressive results with the supplement alone.

 

[msdarknlovely]

ohhh...lol...Okay now I can breathe...But yeah my hair isn't in the best condition and I do have a problem with shedding and thinning so hopefully I get some good growth and thickness with these pills..

 

[Myjourney2009]

Please just allow your hair to grow at the rate it is supposed to. *drops mic*

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

I haven't used this product, but I feel the dosage on the bottle is what they have deemed to be therapeutic, and therefore, that's the dosage that you need to take. No more, no less.

I also feel like if you really want to mess with the dose, you should consult someone in the medical profession, and not just go off the word of random LHCF peeps. This stuff isn't candy.
No offense to anyone.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

I glanced at the post ElleP provided and the ingredients don't appear malicious in anyway.....so I'd double-up if I wanted to. Try it for a month and see if it works.

*Shrugs*

 

[Curlybeauty]

I have them. I don't take them consistently, but I'm trying. In march I will try to take one a day. I've noticed nothing special yet. I'm a month post and ny roots are poofy (relaxed) but that's about it.

 

[SeeLexus]

I have been taking them since Decemeber, and I love them ( and i am only taking 1 per day) But you will notice hair growth everywhere. My Eyebrows, Eyelashes, legs, arm pits have also grown faster LOL ..but I am currently grazing...mid back, and I think If they keep working this good, I may be full midback/approaching waist length by the end of the year

 

[Curlybeauty]

^^ +1 for the hair growth in other places

You had me scared at first too. Then I had to re-read what you meant. I think I may try this. I was actually just looking on amazon for something that I could buy

I once asked a GNC associate if they carried anything similar to Nioxin Recharging Vitamins and showed him the ingredients on my bottle. He said that GNC didn't but the herbs used in Nioxin's proprietary blend (saw palmetto, oat, stinging nettle, etc) were DHT-blockers. DHT-blockers are known ingredients in many hair-regrowth systems. All the other ingredients could be found in any other multi-vitamin/ hair vitamin he said.

Increase shedding is possible when taking vitamins because as new sprout out the hair follicle the old hairs are released and gives the illusion of increased shedding. Its actually normal shedding process that is super charged. I hope I'm making sense.

 

[Curlybeauty]

^^ you're making sense.

 

[Kimdionneca]

I used them about a year ago for a few months, and didn't see a big difference, but I wasn't doubling up on them either. Would you post your starting pic and then in a month update us and let us know what your results were. If it works for you I might try them again.

 

[mzsophisticated26]

How big are the nioxin vitamins, I cant swallow large pills, i currently take adult gummie multivitamin..lol dont judge me...lol

As someone who occasionally writes reviews on amazon.com, if you don't select the right stars it won't show up. I remember leaving 3 stars when I intended to leave 5. But I couldn't change it after I submitted it.

 

[SeeLexus]

They are not big at all...actually oval and thin.

 

[femmedusiecle]

Someone here mentioned that they'd double the dose if they want to (or something like that) but I'd be cautious. Why? Bc you dno't want to overdose on certain ingredients such as Vitamin A, which is listed as the first ingredient, therefore making it more potent than the last ingredient. OD'ing on Vitamin A is hazardous because it's fat soluble not water soluble. That means that your body will store it rather than regularly excrete it. No one wants to suffer from a vitamin toxicity. So, that's one reason why following recommended doses is important. If you want to increase, def talk to your doctor.

 

[trendsetta25]

This sounds interesting...my hair has been shedding like CRAZY!!! I don't know if its because of the weather or the hairfinity vitamins I've been taking. I've been taking hairfinity for 5 months now. I'm interested in getting this but my question is...can I take it along with my hairfinity vits??

 

[Boujoichic]

These vitamins sound good but doubling the recommended dosage may not be a good Idea someone above mentioned possible issues with ODing on vitamin A. Also from what I know of Saw Palmetto it has an anti estrogenic effect definitely avoid these if you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant. It effects hormone levels so if you are taking BC or any other hormone therapy like for example treatments for menopause you will want to avoid it even in the recommended dosage.

Wow thanks!
Ok nw I plan on having my doctor look at the ingredients and tell me whether or not I can take them. There was a scare not to long ago when ladies where taking a weight loss supplement and it was okay'd by a doc but later the FDA banned the supplement. So long story short I will be cautious of putting things in my system. But since it was a "vitamin" I thought that it was ok...so thanks for this information

 

[**WonderWoman**]

Guilty as charged! I took Nioxin for over a year and I took 2 pills a day. Femme is right about overdosing on Vitamin A. Before I started taking Nioxin I researched the recommended dosage for Vitamin A and made sure that my double dosage of Nioxin plus my multiple vitamins wouldn't create a problem for me.

I definitely think Nioxin gave me good growth, even my friends were amazed how fast and healthy my hair was growing out. At least two of them started using Nioxin because of my results and they also got good results. I stopped using Nioxin about 2 months ago only because I got a good deal of Andrew Lessman's Hair, Skin and Nails. But I still think Nioxin is a great product.

As far as noticing results, I saw quicker results with nails but I honestly didn't notice any thing major with my hair until I finished my first bottle. My hair was growing out faster and thicker.

I started doubling up on my Nioxin pills because of a thread on here about faster results when you double up on Nioxin. A couple of us tried it and got great results, and I know some ladies on here still double up so maybe they'll come in here and answer your questions. I'll do a search for the thread that started it all ... I'll come back and post if I find it.

Bumping for you....




Happy Hair Growing!
