Me too! I've actually been on it for just over 2 months but I plan to be on it through 2012 so this challenge is perfect for me! I'm thinking of adding a 1000 mcg Biotin supplement though.

Be careful not to take too much biotin or you'll breakout

Ok I'm in. I need to be. My lack of consistency is the only thing stopping my hair goals. So I'll take Nioxin 2x's per day and My New Chapter Prenatals. I will literally have to check in every night probably to stay on this challenge.

^^^I say Multi that way you have covered your major nutrients your body needs.

Just checking in: I took my vitamins yesterday and today (fish oil & multi) and have been drinking lots of water.

I have no problem keeping up with taking my vites daily, so I would just like to offer a couple of suggestions.

Get a couple of those plastic 7-day pill packs to use. I used to keep one in my cabinet at work and take it home on the weekends to refill it. Even if I forgot to do that, I would still have a couple days worth.

Now when I find a good deal on vites, I work towards having one bottle for home and one for work.

I've been taking vitamins/minerals consistently since early/mid Oct so this would be great. I have alarms set on my phone and a pill box necklace so it's been easy to get used to.

I'm currenly taking:

Nioxin,
Chemists Direct multi-vitamin with iron and
Simply Supplements wolf-berry/goji berry and Zinc.

I alternate with or occasionally take:

Chemists Direct multi-vitamin with iron, zinc and iodine
Simply Supplements b-complex
and NAC.

Haven't been able to check my hair as it's in Ghana rows/single plaits but my nails are no longer yellow, peeling or breaking. I did have spots surface but my face/body has since cleared and looks more even toned.

@Aggie I want to really take a Silica supplement but I dont know how much. Any suggestions on whats ideal for hair growth?

I need to add a HSN pill.

DaughterOfZion1, I would suggest a good strength of about 500mg per pill and take 3 of them a day throughout the day - not all at once. This keeps the silica level in your system constant. HTH!

I want to add this in powdered form to my green smoothies. It is supposed to add some flavor to the smoothie. I will need to google it and see what other goodies are in it too.
