Whenever someone takes a hair supplement or a heavy concentration of Biotin, it usually results in breaking out. I for one, have experienced that same issue with multiple pills and I found a new vitamin to try to help: B Complex.
So as I've been documenting my #Manetabolism journey on my IG page, I've mentioned that I experienced some breakouts. I even made sure to start drinking the recommended minimum of 8 glasses of water a day! My face is already acne prone, in the sense I get a couple pimples here and there, usually on my cheek and nose, but I've consistently had pimples on my RIGHT cheek. Why the right cheek? I have no idea but I am certain it's the hair vitamins. Why I came to that conclusion is because I initially thought it was my new birth control pills, but the pimples stayed the same. I even tried a new regime of targeting the acne with Coconut Oil & Tea Tree Oil (read both are excellent for Anti bacterial properties) and it seemed to help when massaging in before bed. The pimples were less red and didn't hurt as much so I'll keep that regime in my back pocket. However the pimples didn't go down significantly until I decided to stop taking the Manetabolism all together.
However, 2 weeks later, a girl commented on one of my hair growth comparison IG pics and gave me the scoop that B Complex vitamins are a great aid to Biotin. Now I've heard of B Complex before because this other girl I know took them to lose weight. I don't know if it was the vitamins alone that helped her or that she boosted her healthy eating and workouts as well, but the bottle does claim these vitamins break down carbs & fat to turn it into energy which doesn't seem like a bad deal! Looking more into the B Complex, it contains 5 B-vitamins that are commonly found in a lot of the healthy food we SHOULD be eating (like eggs, spinach, etc) but may not get enough of.
Now if I wasn't taking ENOUGH pills already! I feel like an old woman with my pill box lol. But living in North America, we don't get the same fresh produce, meat & poultry like the warmer places do. Thus, we stack up on supplements! So I am already taking Omega-3 Fatty Acids (3/day.. Hair & skin), my Birth Control (personal reasons) and Manetabolism (hair). So with the addition of B Complex I was like "yet another horse pill I have to swallow, yay". One of the biggest reasons people don't take their vitamins is because they're hard to swallow. But the B Complex recommended to me, IS A GUMMIE. The girl promised I wouldn't forget to take it each day and she wasn't lying! They taste like candy so it'll be an easy addition to my regime. 150 gummies, once daily and only $15 at Walmart. Doesn't get better :) Hope these bad boys help a curly girl out.
