Girl please I wish I had your problem...I need to lose a few so that was an added bonus...I was actually just sitting here recapping what i ate and was like thats it??...I noticed the same thing yesterday...But I was going to order mega tek today...From what I read I believe one is for growth and the other is used primarily for thickening...Oh and of course ones for humans and the others intended use is for animals

The recommended daily allowance for vitamin A is 5000 international units (IU) for adults and 8000 IU for pregnant or lactating women.
The estimated toxic dose is about 25,000 IU/kg.

I am back on Nioxin. I had 12 left from a 90-count bottle and decided to start using them again yesterday. My supplements won't be here until next Thursday - the 10th-, so here's how I am going to take them:
3/4: Take 2
3/5: Take 1
3/6: Take 1
3/7: Take 2
3/8: Take 2
3/9: Take 2
I got them off of amazon for $21.24 using the Subscribe and Save option. My shipment is scheduled to come every 90 days

I'm still using my nioixin. About a month in! I think my hair health is definitely improving. Slowly but surely. I am also taking the GNC hair skin and nail program. I hAd began taking then but I am going to focus on the noxin but want to finish these out. So instead of two hsn vitamins I take one and take a nioxin along with one collagen and one evening primrose oil caplet

I have a full weave in as well. I have only had mine in less than 4 weeks, and I have more new growth than I usually would have. I'm so ready to take this down. I'm taking it down after 6 weeks to check my results.

I've been taking this consistently now for 2 weeks (one every 7 hrs). I really hope and pray that this vitamin can help with my shedding. My shedding is making me so depressed. I feel like I'm gonna have a major setback. Nothing I'm doing is working to stop it. Plus I think its shedding and breakage. I dc weekly. Do protein (hardcore) every 8 weeks and keep my hair moisturized (ORS moisturizer) when needed and my hair is STILL shedding and breaking. Haven't had heat in my hair for 3 weeks now and have been bunning or doing braid out buns for the past month.

Y'all have got me! Somebody said they were lookin for something to buy from Amazon and I do the same thing! Ever since I signed up for the 1 year free trial of Amazon Prime as a student and get free 2-day shipping, I'm always tryin to buy somethin just to see how fast it gets here. Lol.
But I don't take any vitamins at all, have never used a growth aid of any kind whether it be megatek, msg, or whatever else you hair gurus know about. I've been letting my hair grow at it's own rate (which is pretty slow), so I'm excited to see if this works.
I pray I can actually be consistent w/ these things though, I suck at routines. It's my ADD.

Unfortunately, I don't know my exact growth rate. I know my longest section of hair is 16" from crown to end. I'm an inch shy of APL, since on me it would be 17" (I'm 5'8). I will post each week or every other week to show my results. I'm excited!

I'm going to start on Nioxin again after I finish my NSI HSN formula. I took Nioxin in the past, but that was a while ago and I wasn't consistent at all. I plan to double up.

I was waiting on someone else to bring this up! I have cystic acne and since starting the Nioxin, the breakouts seem to have gotten worse and I found out its from the Bladderwrack that's in the proprietary blend. Bladderwrack is from seaweed or sea kelp but basically it's iodine, which makes acne worse. So for me....yeah it has made the acne worse, and the pimples hurt more too but it may not do so for others.
