This may have already been posted, but I just thought it might be a good idea to get some more current updates.

I am currently taking, Biotin, MSM, B-12, B-Complex, Flaxseed and Gueye Hair Vitamins. I don't break out as much with Biotin when I drink "extra" water; MSM makes my nails grow faster and less brittle; B-12 & B-Complex seems to strengthen my hair; Flaxseed & Gueye helps my hair to grow faster than normal.

If you don't take vits/supps, then what is your regime?

Thanks!!

I voted "yes,when I remember."

I usually take my vits just before bed.

The only vitamin I'm taking is GNC Women's Ultra Mega. I might add biotin, but I'm just too tired lately.

I am taking Puritan Pride's MSM (2000 mg) and GNC's Biotin (600 mcg) at night and that is all my dear :grin: I hate popping too many pills. These two supplements coupled with Mega-Tek are making my hair very happy - and thicker!

Okay, so how do we know that the vitamins are making the hair grow if we are also using a growth aid?????
But I picked yes, religiously. I'm taking rexall's biotin 5000mg, GNC's MSM, and nature made's Flaxseed oil. But I'm also using MTG, so I don't know if it's the vitamins or the MTG thats giving me such rapid growth.

I know 'cause I just started back using the MT last week (I already have 1/4 inch of growth in one week). When I started taking the supplements (July), I ceased using the MT, 'cause I was in braids and got tired of applying it. My hair still grew like crazy. It seems more noticeable now that I am using both: The perfect duet! I don't care which one is doing it more than the other. I'm getting the growth I want :grin:

I took the Nioxin Recharging for 45 days twice a day didn't notice any difference and I started Phytophanere about 10 days ago and I think it's made my nails healthy and strong so far will keep posted about the hair in a couple of months. I also take MSM (sometimes) I have flaxseed but haven't taken any same with fish oil.

I agree with Forever In Bloom. Because everything works from the inside / out. I believe that the growth aids are helping also, but the vits/supps have to be doing some good also. :yep:

Wow, your hair is pretty! What are the biosil silica supposed to help with and why do you only take 5 mg? Just curious. Thanks!

Thank you- the biosil drops is a liquid form of silica it helps you generate collagen and promotes healthy hair, skin, nails, bones and joints
remember the biotin I take is 5 MG not MCG. 5 MG (which is the same as 5000 mcg) is the highest I've seen so far in my neck of the woods and it gives 1667% of the daily value. Long time ago in harlem, They had 10,000 mcg, but I don't see those any more. I used to get like 1000 mcg, like I was doin somethin, then I realized they had higher dosages.

I voted I take them when I can remember. This is my vitamin regimen:

Rainbow Light Just Once Prenatal One Multivitamin: Not preggo, but it is 100% Vegan, has high absorption, only one average size pill needed per day (vs. my last multivitamin that was 4 per day) and just an overall good multivitamin. Consistent with this one

Shen Min Hair Advanced Women's Formula: I heard that it was a good hair vitamin and it will turn my 3-gray hairs back to black. Consistent with this one.

Alta Silica: Rarely take it, but my goal is 2-3 tablets a day.

TriMedica MSM Powder: 1 Tablespoon daily. Not consistent

Jarrow BioSil: 10 drops in 4-6 oz. orange juice daily. Not consistent
