  10. I found this for you.. What is Biotin? Biotin is a vitamin B component that provides your body with Vitamins and nutrients needed to allow your hair and even your nails to grow strong and fast. It boosts your metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and Proteins that are needed for thick hair and increased growth. Biotin is sometimes also known as vitamin H, and it helps protect your body against dryness and brittle hair follicles that prevent hair growth. Not only does it do that, but biotin increases the elasticity of your hair follicles and the hair cortex, to help prevent some of the breakage and further damage that stops your hair from thickening and growing well. When taking in biotin regularly and in the right proportions, your hair will thicken and give off the appearance that you have more hair than you actually do. There are no harmful side effects of biotin, but you should always be sure to take the amount prescribed to you.
  11. Yes, you can get Biotin from Walmart!! )
  12. I am from Lincolnton, NC.. I was sleeved on July 15th, 2013 by Dr.Heider in lake Norman ..
  13. I take Biotin.. My hair dresser recommended it.. So, I started takin it right away.. Anything that will help because I already have fine hair. I take my Multivitamin, vitamin d3 1000, biotin, Calcium, & b12.. Remember not to take your multivitamin and calcium together if your multivitamin has Iron it.. U have to take Atleast 2-3 hrs apart..
  14. I took a friend back to SAMs today to get her some.. She had gastric sleeve in March 2013.. She's lost 80 lbs.. If you get them let me know what u think. I really like the choc! Do u like Campbell's chicken noodle Soup? That's what I eat. I add a can of water to the soup and just eat the broth.. I also add pepper to mine to give it more flavor while its cookin.. I don't like the bullion.. Let me know what ya think?
  15. Premier Protein shakes.. I bout them at SAMs club.. They are already made. They have choc & van. They come in a case of 12. I got them on sale yesterday for $14.88.. So I bout 3 cases.. They usually run from $18-20 a case.. I'd rather pay that & enjoy what I'm drinkin.. Lol.. They have them on Amazon too..
