Is Viviscal only for people who can tolerate fish and shell fish?Or is it just made from sea plants or something?????I am very allergic to both.If this is not for me can anyone suggest some other supplements?I am already taking horetail but I have to say that the results have been less than thrilling. Maybe I am not taking the right kind. I take the liquid form with no alchol.Any suggestions????

TataThat totally sucks! As recommended by the manufacturer anyone who is allergic to fish should stay away from Viviscal. The main ingredient is a fish oil derived form an North Atlantic deep sea fish so I would stay away if I were you. Longer hair is not worth it.There has been talk on the board about something called Formula 50 that's supposed to help your hair grow. Look at some of the posts below for more info.Regina

I have been taking Biotin supplements, you can get them at GNC. I think that they really are helping my hair grow faster, I've been taking them for about three months now... Anyone else ever used Biotin?

Hi there!I just received my first pack of Viviscal today and box specifically says, "Do not take this product if you are allergic to acerola, fish or seafood." So I guess that this means-- be wary. I am hearing something about a formula 50-- but I don't know if it is equivalent to Viviscal or not. However, I have asked my stylist about nutrition for your hair and she just told me that eating right-- meaning lots of fresh fruits and veggies-- is really the best natural thing that you can do for your hair!Sherry> Is Viviscal only for people who can tolerate fish and> shell fish?> Or is it just made from sea plants or something?????> I am very allergic to both.> If this is not for me can anyone suggest some other> supplements?> I am already taking horetail but I have to say that> the results have been less than thrilling.

Anyone else ever used Biotin?I had read about Biotin helping your hair grow, so I bought some but no one could tell me how many to take and how many mcg I needed to help my hair grow. I bought the 300 mcg and took 2 a day and I couldn't tell any difference. Do you know how many and what mcg to take? THANKS
