Please add me. I will be taking Priteva (2 a day) as well as my regular multi (2 a day).

 

[cutenss]

Please add me too. I know I will be taking Biotin, MSM, collagen and a multi-vitamin. But I am hoping to try the hair vitamin Priveta to replace all of that. A member posted her progress pictures, and they were very impressive.

Thanks

Anyone taking Shen Min vitamins?

I'm taking the following:
Biotin 5,000 MCG
Swanson Bamboo Extract
Natures Made Multi for Her

I was taking SNH with MSM 1000mg but experienced itchy scalp.. I'm not sure if this was due to the MSM or a bad reaction to taking all of these vitamins together. I'm slowly adding the vitamins back into my regiment.
