Hey everyone. So usually I'm talking about what my son is doing to control his acne (it's getting much better), here something that I'd like to share with you guys. As everyone is spending major bucks on eyelash growth products like JM and RevitaLash, I'd like to share with you guys what my little secret it.
Alright so about a month and a half ago I took my son to a nutritionist and she recommended Vitamin B5 and Biotin to him for healthy skin. I decided to take them aswell as she said you can never take too much of them. (Vitamin B5 and Biotin.) So for the last one and a half months I have been and let me tell you, my eyelashes are ATLEAST 0.5cm longer. They're also thicker and much more silky. I'm almost 100% sure it is due to the B vitamins because they are the only things that have changed in my diet. I will continue to re-buy these vitamins as I LOVE what they are doing to my eyelashes.
Also, every time I look in the mirror, I swear I think my eyes have gained 2 sizes. I'm Caucasian and have pretty large eyes but with the length my eyelashes are now they just POP. I now understand why everyone wants longer eyelashes PRONTO. I look so awake and now my eyes take over my face. (lol)
ANyways, I take Vitamin B5 1000 mg twice a day, as well as 1000 mcg of Biotin twice a day. The Biotin is from Solaray and the B5 is from Swiss Natural.
I hope you guys try this!! I LOVE my lashes now. |

I wish B5 and or Biotin worked for me they way it seems to for others. I've taken serious amounts of both on and off for 30 years and it did not help skin or hair. |
Did you take them together for at least several months? I know biotin works well to strengthen the nails. MSM is supposed to work on hair, and joints. But you have to take up to 2 g twice a day (total of 4 g per day) preferably with 12 hrs in between. I am trying to do this, and it's supposed to take 6 weeks before you see results. |

I can't find any Vitamin B5 supplement that is atleast 1000mg.. |
The highest I found was 500 mg, so you may have to take 2 of them if you bought the 500. |
n101 has 60 tabs - 1000 mg (Country Life $7.29)
and 100 caps - 500 mg (Jarrow Formulas $6.29)
