So I came across a thread about Mineral Rich and how ladies were getting some thickness with this. I purchased two bottles and will use this in addition to my Manetabolism vitamins. I've been taking Manetabolism for four months now and while I've been getting greath growth my hair hasn't gotten any thicker so I'm hoping the Mineral Rich will help in that department

I haven't decided yet. To be honest ... I haven't done a whole lot of research on the mineral rich so I don't know which is more beneficial. If it's just based off taste...then I think I'll just mix it with something. But if that dilutes the effectiveness...then I don't mind drinking it straight lol.
I literally skimmed through the mineral rich thread, watched the YouTube video and said "take my money I need this stuff!!"
I really hope it works because...my hair is at the perfect length...it's just not full.

I like the taste of mineral rich so I don't mix it with anything. I look forward to it in the morning and I have to stop myself from wanting to drink more than one ounce lol!

Bent. Not Broken.
Ive noticed a diff in hair and nail growth between a regular multi and women's multi. There's less growth and my nails do not grow in as strong with a regular. My hair also seems to break more easily. I think a women's multi has more stuff in it for hair and nails.
Once this regular multi is done I will go back to a women's once daily.

Ok, since October 1, 2014 I have been faithfully taking my Viviscal supplements. I continued to have shedding and breakage. I got mad at Viviscal thinking they had over promised their product. I continued to moisturize my hair, I continued to co wash weekly, I continued to hide my hair under my wigs. My hair is texlaxed.
I have truly had a setback
I have new growth. But I trimmed and trimmed thinking that was the problem. I moisturized and moisturized. I deep condtioned and deep conditioned.What I did not do; was to do my protein treatments.
I typed all of this , to say this please don't slack on your regimen just cause you are taking supplements. I did and I am paying the price.

Switched prenatal supplements. I now take the women's prenatal from Whole foods instead of Trader Joes. The closest trader joes was a half hour away vs 15 minutes from whole foods lol. The vits are disgusting I have to hurry up and swallow before the residual reaches my taste buds lol.

Sugadoll --- thank you so much for sharing your experience. I had a slight setback last year too when the back of my hair started falling out. I deep conditioned regularly and was applying all sorts of oils and creams...but what I failed to do, like you was protein treatments. I'm just now recovering --- but I think you hit the nail on the head: supplements do not replace your regimen.

Actually, there isn't any scientific evidence stating that prenatal vitamins make hair grow longer. Many of the prenatal vitamins on the market today are similar to women's multi-vitamins with the exception that they sometimes contain higher levels of iron and folic acid. Some women (myself included) are vitamin and mineral deficient and the vitamins offered in supplements, prenatal etc., offer the needed boost to hair and nail growth amongst other things. That's why many women experience hair growth when on vitamins.

Yep all it is is a regular multivite with extra iron and folate. I specifically take it for my iron levels and that's it.....and once that Improved I had deceased hair shedding as a result.

Pregnant women barely shed during pregnancy and hair grows slightly faster due to some hormone they produce while being pregnant. Once the baby is born those hormone levels subside and most experience the postpartum shedding....basically all the hair that didn't shed in the nine months of being pregnant.

Am I in this challenge? If not I need to be! I'm struggling to take my vitamins consistently! I am back on it today. My body needs it!
Nature's bounty HSN with biotin Vit D MSM
A total of 6 pills daily taken with food and lots of water
Protein drink too
Current length is SL growing out a asymmetric cut.
Short term goal is APL by June if possible.
I may go back to roller setting and bunning. Wash and dc twice a week.
Relaxed/texlaxed I need a good detangler!
