I saw this ad on the train this morning also. I didn't get to read. I wonder if it's safe?

The site lists the following in it's formula that's key to benefit the hair: copper, magnesium, iodine, biotin.

I wouldn't take it. All of these can be found in a multivitamin.

Yeah, I was gonna say I have that stuff and more in my daily multi-vitamin. I swear these people figure they can re-package and market an already existing product to make a buck!

i use to take it for several months. it's just an overpriced multivitamin. although it does contain some hair growing ingredients the potency is too low to make any signifaicant difference in hair growth.

 

[kitten73]

really! i took the GNC Hair, Skin and Nail vitality pack during the summer and i did see some results. each package (you get a one month supply) has MSM, Biotin, two Mega Woman and two other pills. I felt this was too many pills to take each day and the box is 49.99. I was trying to find something a little more affordable. Do any of you guys have any suggestions?

 

[kitten73]

Do you have any suggestions, 50 bucks is just too much fo rme right now and I keep thinking there has to be something out there that will work just as well for maintaining hair, skin and nails and overall health.

 

[atmo718]

I bought Hair Skin and Nails from the Vitamin Shoppe for only 7.99 it was on sale.

 

[alliyah4eva203]

centrum is a cheaper equivalent to perfectil. why don't you try the gnc ultra nourish hair on it's own.

 

[kitten73]

What! I have a vitamin shop near my job on 45 and Lexington. I may go in there at lunch. Did you get it a very long time ago?

 

[Carlie]

Atmo718, that's a good price. ...and you can always supplement addt'l msm & biotin w. any multi. /images/graemlins/up.gif

 

[kitten73]

I will go to GNC and Vitamin shop today and lunch and try to compare. It's so confusing though. I never know what is enough (bvits, MSM, Biotin, Cystine etc...) and what is too much. I know i was getting everything in that pack put $50 isn't in my budget right now. I have to read the Ultra Nourish bottle because I don't remember if it contained all the essentials for hair growth and health. Does anyone out there know what I should look for as far as main ingredients?

 

[atmo718]

Nope, I bought it last Friday.

 

[kitten73]

I just went and picked it up from the vitamin shop. i read the labels of the other ones they had and the $8 bottle seems to have the best ingredients. I will give it a try. it says to take 3 a day, do you take that many and if so do you have any adverse side effects like upset stomach. they guy in the store said for best results, take 3.

I take HSN from the Vt Shoppe and I start of with three a day then go down to two. I also take an extra biotin 10mgs and a teaspoon of msm daily. This works for me but recently someone here did a vinegar (I think) test on the VS HSN and said it would not break down. I havent done the test yet my self but Im considereing looking into multi vits from Kosher Vitamins

[/ QUOTE ] No, I haven't had any side effects and I also take 3 a day. I think my hair is actually growing and I'm noticing more hair on my chin /images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Thanks, Carlie that's a great idea maybe I should start taking centrum. Right now I am only taking the vitamins from the Vitamin Shoppe. /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif
