I've ended several supplements for the fall. Fish oil is the biggest. I've taken fish oil religiously for 3-4 years and honestly, I haven't seen any difference in my hair what so ever. No increased growth, no additional shine, or resiliency. SO, enough of that.
I ended Purvana. I liked it initially but it contained high counts of vitamin A and when combined with my other supplements, it made me nervous. On top of that, there was some inconsistency in the product. Specifically, the 90 day value bottle's effectiveness when compared to the 30 day blister packs. Check out Amazon for other opinions and reviews. Either way, I added Skin Eternal which has most of the ingredients that I liked most about Purvana, like grape seed extract, dmae and alpha lipoic acid. I can say that I saw some noticeable difference in the condition of my hair. When I switched from the 90 day to the 30 day package, my hair had noticeable increase in shine. No additional growth so the cost didn't make since to me.
I still take viviscal. I am entering my sixth month, and honestly, its not worth the money either. I haven't seen anything from it, certainlly not an increase in growth and no regrowth on my smooth spots. 1 more month and I'm done with it too.
I've ended Nioxin 3 times. Yes, 3. Its been hard for me to let this one go. This time it will stick, no matter what my hair looks like. Its been discontinued anyway and nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price. I've taken it for 3-4 years and saw only a slight thickening effect and some small "baby" hairs on my forehead. They never grew past 2 millimeters. So less than 30 days and it will done.
I currently take Hair Omega, and I've pretty happy with it. Ive taken it since June and I think I have seen some increase in growth. Especially in the rear of my head. The front has some increase as well, but only slight.
I still take my b complex. I think with all of the stress in my life, I'd better continue this one.
So there. I am pulling back on these money wasters, but I am glad I tried them. Ruling them out as failure for me has been worth the money.
I will update my vitamin regimen again in the spring.
