They absolutely do have it in capsules. The GNC where I am at in northern VA just started carrying it. I told the employee all about it! My only concern is the breakdown of the capsule. I'm sure it is not negative but I can imagine that it is much easier absorbed when it is taken mixed in liquid because it can go directly to where it needs to be used.

Yea I agree with you on that. I'm gonna take it with water or juice.

2tbsp daily but as @Gr8ness83 mentioned she splits 1tbsp in 2 portions which I will def try for both servings, did I read your post right @Gr8ness83?

Yes you did I split the dosage for the marine collagen as well as the agar agar (plant derived gelatin). Initially, I tried putting the marine collagen in with the agar agar but it's is better to take the marine collagen in cold water or orange juice and it is a MUST that you take the agar agar with a hot beverage. The one thing I will say about the agar agar is that you have to play with the servings to find what works best for YOU. You may have to split the serving into 4 beverages. Me, I like one in the morning, one in the evening with tea. I use a large mug so I can add more water and I let the tea steep so the flavor will be nice and strong. I hope I explained that properly. I'm in a car and am starting to feel car sick. I'll check back later to see if what I said made sense. Lol

First pic from Sept 25, 2016 (I posted pics on or about that day as well) The second pic is from today, November 7, 2016My mind is literally, BLOWN (hence my bug-eyes) I took this piece out last night while my mom was driving us to my house from PA in an attempt to stay up with her while she drove and, while I was amazed at the growth, I was even more amazed when I realized that it was the same section of hair that I took out a little over a month ago. I am not going to definitively say it's the marine collagen that caused this awesome growth spurt, but suspect that it is. Since I am not 100% sure, I am going to measure it this time and then again in December.

@Gr8ness83 That is awesome growth. I did purchase the Marine Collagen but haven't used it yet.

Girl, get on it! My Chief said that he doesn't know if it is psychological or what but he and his wife don't have anymore pain where they have chronic pain and they are both sleeping better. I am so excited hearing about everyone's positive experiences!

Thanks! I can't wait to see your progress! Are you going to measure you're starting point? I really should've measured mine when I began taking it. I recorded a video this past Friday and I I'll do the same onetime in December. I was going to leav my hai in my loc extensions until Dec but I m going to tak them out for my Joint Base graduation ceremony. I'll post pics when I can. I SHOULD be wearing my hair out next year, no lox extensions, weaves or anything. That being said, I should be able to do monthly measurements.Wowzers!! Excellent!
Here I go

Thank you! I'm excited about it. I have a YouTube channel but I haven't edited any videos so I have nothing on there. I want to get my stuff a bit more organized before I upload any videos. I will be making videos on hair health and maintenance, documenting my journey, general health and fitness and workouts (which I love but have little time for )

I will try to look into and make a point of going to the next meet up! For some reason, I never really considered going. Sad, but true.

I just used the straightening brush the morning and did a trim. I'll measure and take pics for my starting point.
I started consistently yesterday & this morning I took my first 1/2 tbls so I have 3 more to go which is =3 more bottles of juice
no bueno for me I have to modify this somehow, either with my mixer or dosage per juice bottle - I may do the latter and see how well it mixes.I'm excited though. I'm in the crown breakage thread and I think would be good for that group too.

Oh no! That a whole lot of sugar from the fruit juice. Have you tried it in water? I take one scoop (1 tbsp) in water in the morning and one in the evening. I will take pics of how it looks when I mix my batch for tonight. We've got to figure out a better way because that is a lot of juice and a lot of sugar and calories to just drink for the sake of increased hair growth. Maybe you could dissolve one scoop in about 4-5 oz of water and once it is dissolved, add orange juice (not from concentrate). Then you can take your other doses the same way so it will cut your sugar and calorie intake.

Thank you! I was asked today about what makeup I use and when I told her that I don't wear foundation, she looked at me as if I was BSing her. I tried to explain about the supplements and my water intake but I can tell that she didn't believe me. Oh well
. I took marine collagen for a little while as a sort of test. I'll probably a few things here, down the line.

Hair is frizzy, definitely not bone straight but this is a good enough assessment. I cut 3-4 inches total, 2 this morning and 1 before taking these pics. So, I'm at BSL from the back in the first pic, this is a great starting point to measure growth etc...

Wait,
You are taking it in hot tea? I take the agar agar in hot tea or coffee in the am and put the marine collagen in water or oj. Mixing agar agar in with nettle or bamboo tea is a great idea, that's what I do. I'm sure your crown will flourish!
