I had a very bad experience with hair extensions over a year ago and my hair continues to get closer to its natura lthickness. I have seen much progress but I was wondering if anyone has had success with using a particular product or type of hair vitamin. I currenty take a multivitamin for women (without iron) from the vitamin shoppe twice a day, 1200 mg biotin (split into two dosages…600 each) & flaxseed oil once a day. I have Nioxin because I got it at reduced price but I have yet to try it due to a bunch of mixed reviews. I understand that nutrition and health contribute to hair but I am asking about thickness specifically, not the rate of growth. Also,if anyone has any thickening products that have worked for them, feel free to share.

I also hear that prenatal vitamins work is there any in gummy form?
thank you

I bought this multivitamin a few months ago & after taking it even with food I found it made me extremely nautious. I took one this morning & I felt the urge to puke while eating my breakfast. I’ve taken other types of One A Day & its never made me feel this way there has to be something in there that triggers it….I just read other reviews complaining of the same problem. Even my birth control doesn’t make me feel this way, I don’t recommend this product at all. It definately made my body active just not in a good way…

Is it :-
1) GNC’s Women’s Ultra Mega Multivitamin,
2) Kordel’s or
3) Blackmores ?

Please check out the supplement facts of GNC’s Women’s Ultra Mega Multivitamin here and tell me if they are lacking or is there too much of any vitamin.

Is the high dosage of B Vitamins a cause for concern ?

Is there such a thing as an overdose of vitamin B ?

After the birth of my first child I began having strange, seemingly unrelated symptoms. First, I became extremely fatigued which I didn’t think much of because I was exhausted throughout my pregnancy. The fatigue continued and I assumed it was because I was still breastfeeding. Eventually, I asked my docter and they began doing bloodwork to figure out what was going on.

It turns out my alkaline phosphate was high. After checking a few more times, months apart, it remained higher than the usual. They finally detected (a year later) that the increased alk phos was coming from the bone. However I could not get a nuclear bone scan because of the radiation and on account that I was still breastfeeding.

I switched doctor’s and a new one suggested that I start taking more vitamin D and calcium supplements. Which I did religiously for several months before getting checked again. My fatigue went away and when I got the blood results from this consequent test, it revealed my alk phos had finally went down to normal levels. Yet my vitamin d was extremely low. (Did I mention that I’d been taking 250% of the daily amount every day.)

I am only 27 years old and this came as quite a shock to me as my mother just got diagnosed with the beginning stages of osteoperosis. Anyways, I got put on a regime of 50,000 iu’s of vitamin d a week. Plus I still take my daily dose of d and calcium along with my daily multivitamin.

My next symptom is plain old irritability. I have no patience and a very short temper all of a sudden. I don’t know what is wrong with me. I am generally very easy-going and this is quite a change in my personality. I do not like it.

In addition, I went on a diet and lost weight (45 lbs) in the middle of all this, but lost it too easily I think. So, I guess you could add weight loss to the list.

Finally, today i went to the doctor’s for a sinus infection and my blood pressure was low 100/50 (or close to it). Strange because, my blood pressure has always been normal (120/80).

Doctor’s don’t seem to think anything of any of the symptoms as single events, or in relation to each other. I think I need to change physicians again in any rate. Although the symptoms seem unrelated, they may be trying to tell me something. Something isn’t right with my body and I know it.

Oh, and I do not have hep c or any std’s, so that’s out of the question. And I’m not a hypochondriac. If anyone has any ideas what could be wrong with me please let me know!!! Thanks!!!
A psychologist? Umm no. I really don’t think so. I’m kind of freaked out. I’ve been dizzy and disoriented the last few days too. I can’t concentrate either. I think something is seriously wrong with me. I did some research and i’m looking into problems with my thyroid, Pagent’s disease, and Addison’s disease . If anyone has any other (serious) suggestions please let me know!!!

I saw a supplement bottle the other day that had 1200mcg of b-12. Most multivitamins have very little b-12, like only the daily requirement. . I am considering taking 1 multivitamin pill and 1 of these 1200mcg pills a day to help in energy and weight loss. I think it was 1200 mcg and not 1200mg.
