Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

Hmm. I've been taking a b-complex and flax oil for quite some time, but just recently added biotin. Maybe we've stumbled onto some superhuman nail growth formula.

I'm sure Bio will be along to straighten us out!

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

i have run out of my biotin just over the past week or so. i'll be picking some more up. you may be right, maybe the combination is really doing us some good.

knicknack is always having trouble with her hair falling out and i told her about the supplement i was taking. i don't know if she ever started them or not. maybe she needs the B's and the hair/skin/nails formula.
bio will know, she knows everything.

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

It's the B's alright! They help your skin, nails, and hair. Gotta love 'em!

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

should we or i continue to take the biotin and/or the combination i was talking about?

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

That really depends on what you want. If you're happy with the results, I would continue your current program because the B's and fish/flax oils help with many things, not just improved hair/skin/nails!

Some folks like taking a good B-complex in the morning and separate Bs formulas at night, or a combination thereof. Also, B-complex formulas designed especially for hair/skin/nails tend to have higher levels of certain Bs than others. You can compare the different brands of B complexes and see for yourself. Adding additional biotin won't be detrimental, especially since most B-complexes have low levels of biotin (production expense factor).

If I can get more people to take a good multivitamin, B-complexes, and fish/flax oil capsules on a consistent and daily basis, I truly believe that more people would be healthier for it.

that would be me. i'm on all three of those. i'd rather not spend the money if i don't need to, any one could appreciate that, i guess. since i am seeing some results of the B complex i bought, i think i'll let the other ride for now.

Hi Jane!!! Of course you can join in!!!

As far as taking your supplements with food or not, it depends on what you're taking and whether or not the supplement causes you an upset stomach if taken without food.

Why don't you supply us with a list of what you plan on taking, and we can guide you a bit better.

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

ok Bio here's my list!!!

2 x flaxseed oil 500mg
1 x glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM & Vit C
1 x Vitamin B Complex
1 x 50+ multivitamins & minerals
1 x Vitamin E 200iu
1 x Inner-Glow (i got these as they contain biotin!!)

Do they sound ok???

I was feeling really lethargic before and could fall asleep in a second - so hopefully these should help boost me a little!!!

How long do you think it will take before I start to notice a difference??

thanks

Jane, with your current list, you may take those on an empty stomach or with a meal. Some folks find that Vit B will cause nausea, others will have issues with zinc or other elements from the multivitamin.

Your flaxseed oil is on the low side, but it's better than nothing! Either try taking them 3x a day or when you run out, get the ones that have 1000mg a capsule.

With glucosamine, et. al. recent literature states that 1500mg, split 3x day worked best (so, 500 mg each). Look at the label to see. I'm writing a new article about this, so be on the lookout for it.

With your multivitamin, look carefully at the label to see if you need to take 1 or 2 pills for their listing of nutrients. Some companies are sneaky in that they list their vitamins/minerals, but then tell you must take 2 pills in order to get that.

Is "inner glow" another type of Vitamin B complex?? It's ok if you take extra.

NOTE TO ALL: I haven't finished writing my article about glucosamine condroitin. I think spring break made me lazy! I hope to post it within the next few days. Wednesday at the latest!!!

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

I take a B-complex, and I have more energy, ESPECIALLY when I exercise! It seems I have more endurance or stamina since I've started taking them.

Thanks, I'm going to order some.

bio, what's your take on the Vitamin D issue. If I missed that discussion, can you guide me to it? My humungo capsules have 1200 mg. Calcium and only 200 mg of D. I was told to have at least 1000 mg of D.
