**The '08 Vitamin Challenge**

[tiffers]

Hey ladies! I wanted to start a vitamin challenge since one hasn't been made for a while.

If you're taking vitamins and are slacking off, this challenge is for you! If you've never taken vitamins, now's the perfect time!

**The Rules**
-Take your vitamins daily
-When you take your vitamins, check in here to tell us. That way the thread can be bumped to remind other challengers to take their vitamins.
-List which vitamins you're taking, and at what dosage
-There are no off days! Vitamins must be taken faithfully every day. NO excuses!

This is a 6 month challenge that will begin on April 7 (to give everyone a chance to buy what vitamins they need) and will end on September 22. When the challenge is over, post your before and after pics!!!

So who's with me?

 

[tiffers]

I'm taking

-Exotic Allure Fast Grow (3 capsules a day)
-Bamboo silica (2 capsules a day)
-Kelp (1 tablet a day)
-MSM (3 capsules/3000 mg a day)
-Biotin (1 tablet/5 mg a day)

So who's with me?

im in right now im taking

Biotin 100mcg ( one a day)
Nioxin multivitamin (one a day)
Vitamin C 500 mcg ( one a day)

I want to take msm and flax seed oil. I may get the flaxseed oil but Im gonna hold off on the msm for now Im hearing too many mixed reviews about the combination of biotin and msm will give you bump city

 

[Kay.Dee]

I really need to join, this has been one of my biggest problems.

I currently have

GNC Ultranourish Hair (2 per day)
Women's multi (1)
Calcium (1 @ 500 mg)
MSM powder (1,800 mg)


I also have folic acid (400 mcg) and vitamin e capsules(200 iu). It was a BOGO free at walgreens, but I may just alternate the 2. I'm not too crazy about swallowing a dozen pills everyday.

Thanks, I don't need anymore problems! I may just skip out on the MSM. It's already in another vitamin.

 

[tiffers]

I don't think msm will be a problem if you drink enough water. When I take my vits, I drink about 44 oz of water, and I've never had a problem with pimples or weird dreams. In fact, people have been complimenting my skin lately because it's so clear. I think it's either the bamboo or msm
