I am tired of taking 16 pills a day

[brandy]

I've stopped taking vitamins and am just going to concentrate on a better diet. The amount and size of vitamins I take is making me sick. I believe I could achieve long hair without vitamins cos I've done it before.
Don't get me wrong,vitamins work, I currently grow an inch in a month with vitamins but I'm fed up of them now.
Who else is fed up of taking vitamins and why?

Why don't you just try cutting back to 4 a day for awhile, at least until you use up all your bottles.

Maybe you can just stick to taking a regular one a day. I take Centrum Complete everyday. I really don't see the need for all the extra vitamins, unless there is a deficiency.

I couldn't stomach taking more than 2 a day let alone 16 . . .

Rather than all or nothing, how about finding and sticking with a very good multi for your general health? Even w/an excellent diet, a multi is probably a good idea.

Before I discovered LHCF, I was taking a multi and biotin. I experimented w/other supplements, but have gone back to just the two I mention. The other ones which I found to be very good for my overall health and not just my hair, I take in liquid form (flax oil, EPO and fish oil) b/c swallowing anymore pills would make me gag.

I know how you feel when I 1st came on this board I was takin about the same amount
multi
biotin(made me break out and will never take again)
silica
b vits
hair complezx vits
EPO
flaxseed oil
fish oil
vit c
and the list goes on, I was not consistant cause after a while I just got tired of it.
the only thing I now consistently take is msm. and whenever a can my protien shake which I just blend with milk.
but I just can't stand taking so many pills

what in the world were u doing taking 16 pills a day?

Now this is what I'm talking about when I say "Don't get carried away about your hair. It's growing anyway... it has always been growing."

Girl we love you, we don't want u to gag on a pill for longer hair!

 

[brandy]

Thanks for all those replies.Maybe later on I might try taking a single multivitamin

I take 14 a day, it's not so bad for me. I don't take them only for hair health... I have skin problems too, and also I take them for overall health. I grow 3/4 of an inch a month without vitamins, so I know that you can grow your hair out without them.

I would suggest that you cut out the vitamins that you don't really need. Like the extra b vitamins or any others you don't need. Then just take your multi and msm or whatever supplement that you like

Wow, 16 vits! I'm just curious what 16 vits are you taking to get an inch a month?

I'll bump a thread up for you about protein and hair growth...I believe it's called How I Grew 2 Inches of Hair in One Month.
