Flax and carrot juice, not bad but not as enjoyable as carrot juice by itself.

I didn't mix mine together (if that's what you mean), I drank my carrot juice and then ate my usual salad with a tbsp of flaxseed oil in it.

Uh, yah, that's what I did a'ight.
 
Re: New Carrot Juice Hair Growth Challenge: Day 1!

I bought a big bag of carrots from Sam's Club about 3 weeks ago for less than $2.00 with the INTENTIONS of juicing daily with the carrot/apple/ginger mixture. I bought a big bag of apples and some ginger yesterday with the INTENTIONS of finally juicing. This challenge is just the motivation I need to finally turn intentions into actions! I'm going to have to place a picture of somebody with long hair by the kitchen sink when it's time to clean the mesh part of the juicer. LOL

What is in a carrot that makes hair grow? Is it the beta carotene?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it's the large quantity of beta carotene.

It's also the B vitamins, especially folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid. Since carrot juice goes directly into the blood stream (bypassing digestion), it's effects are much faster than taking supplements, for example.

Carrot Juice (The King of Juices)
Wash 4-5 carrots and juice.
Carrot juice supplies a high amount of pro-vitamin A, which the body converts to Vitamin A; vitamins B,C,D,E, and K, minerals, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, and trace minerals. This juice benefits intestinal walls, bones, teeth, skin, hair, nails and with regular use, cleanses the liver by helping to release stale bile and excess fats.

Nutritive value
Carrots are rich in carotene and the red variety contains 10-15 times more carotene than the orange variety. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is needed for healthy vision, as well as the maintenance of mucous membranes. The same vitamin is also important for healthy skin and hair and is necessary for human reproduction, resistance to infection, combats fatigue, and functions as a protector of the nervous system. Beta-carotene is also an anti-oxidant that may defend the body against free radicals toxicity. It contains 86 per cent water and 48 Kcal per 100 gm of edible portion. The carrot is one of the best sources of vitamin B complex as it also contains niacin, pyridoxine, folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid. The other major nutrient contents are phosphorous, choline, sulphur, potassium and fibre. It has moderate amounts of calcium, iron and vitamin C.

Hi all I've joined in on the carrot challenge. I love carrots. I bought organic carrot juice from Trader Joes. I live in Ca. I love it. You can check out their web site. They have tons of Good Things to choose from. I do the bulk of my groceries there.

What is the website?
 
Carrot juice is da bomb. I can literally feel my scalp crwaling (growing I guess) after I drink it. Just like when I take biotin, MSM, or drink a protein shake. I love it!!

Nice site. I thought that maybe I can order online from the site but I can't and don't have one available in my area.

I made it myself. I make sig tags for fun. I have a group that I am re-organizing at the moment. I will post it when I'm finished.

Thanks for the info.
 
I got some organic carrot juice, which I got from the supermarket. I drink a small cup twice a day. Once in the morning and in the evening.
 
<font color="purple">What's up, Doc?

I love to eat carrots between meals, especially the baby ones. I'm ready to join in on this. I'll try to see if I can get a big bag of baby carrots and the Low Salt V-8 juice tomorrow when I'm out. Toodles. </font>

Hi Valerie
Which supermarket / shop can you buy carrot juice from in London? I want to join this challenge but I cannot find it -unless I am not opening my eyes or being stupid or both!!!
 
If it's too challenging to locate the fresh juice Pradalover, carrot juice powder may be an alternative. A nutritionist I spoke to swears by it and someone posted that she was drinking it. I've never tried it although it's something that could come in handy.

Hi " Carrot Girls"
wave.gif
,

How are you today??? Still drinking your juice religiously??? Are you already seeing results? Did you up your daily dose?

Just curious (I'm not seeing any results yet, but I'll keep the faith, it's only been a few days so....)
 
Isis, I'm so glad you started this challenge. I am loving the Odwalla CJ

. I have no problems getting my daily dosage. I usually go for 4oz, but sometimes I end up drinking more. It just tastes so darn good

As far as growth wise, I can't really tell. I already have too much newgrowth on my head right now. But after I relax I'll be able to tell if I start getting more than my inch a month.
 
Pradalover, I got my carrot juice from the organic section in Tesco, which you have to consume within 3-4 days for the James White one, his one is carrot and apple juice, which I prefer cost is £2.49, I think. Eden juice is just plain organic carrot juice £1.98 consume within 7 days.
 
Question for ALL. I've been doing the challenge as well,but the question is....(Hope I don't gross anyone) When I do #2 it's orange. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?
Just wondering and hoping everything is normal. :)
