new thread
Hello everyone! I am a 35 year old long hair who seems to have some slight thinning problems as of late. I have heard of this new pill called BIO FEN and apparently it's good...supposed to stop hair falling out in 90% of people. Has anyone here tried it? Any info on it? Here is their website in case anyone wants to read up on it...

I seem to remember a post on this a few months ago. Try searching the archives and see what you come up with.

I found a post but there was no reply...
A multi vitamin. Every day. Best thing you can do internally for your hair.
Most of the "herbal" remedies are based on outdated recipes (like from the 1800s) and contain such miniscule amounts of the active ingredients as to be useless anyway. the "vitamin" supplements are made from ingredients your body cannot and will not use (I'll quote Dr. Richard Schulze here)
"Commercial grade vitamin and mineral concentrates are synthesized by the big pharmaceutical and chemical industries from the same starting material that drugs are made from (coal tar, petroleum products, animal by-products / waste and fecal matter, ground rocks, stones, shells and metal). They are then wholesaled out to the various nutrient manufacturers. The manufacturers are just mixing middlemen. Most of them don't even know how these various vitamins and minerals are made, or from what, nobody asks. Everybody just assumes a vitamin is a vitamin.
After all, The United States Pharmacopeia ( U.S.P. ) states that if a product looks similar under a microscope, or in analysis, that it is the same regardless of what it is made out of. For instance salicylic acid u.s.p. is considered identical whether it comes from wintergreen leaves or by boiling coal in carbolic and sulfuric acids. It also considers glycerin u.s.p. identical whether it is made from fresh vegetables, toxic minerals or boiled down animal carcasses, cartilage and feet. Does it make a difference to you ?
The Vitamins
Many so called natural vitamins are made from horrible substances. All the vitamin B-12, cyanocobalamin, on the market is made from either ground up toxic cow livers or activated sewage sludge. These cow livers are overloaded with steroids and antibiotics, and the pesticides the cow assimilates while eating. The sewage sludge is just that, fecal matter. In today's environment of depressed immune diseases I can think of hundreds of reasons that these materials would be a health risk, not benefit. Just because a so-called natural substance (fecal matter is natural ) is high in a particular vitamin, does that also mean it is a good food ?
Vitamin A from fish liver juices loaded with toxic PCB's and mercury, B vitamins from coal tar and petro-chemicals, known central nervous system depressants, respiratory irritants and carcinogens, Vitamin C from acid blends irritating to the lining of the digestive tract, Vitamin D from radiated oil, Vitamin E from Eastman Kodak, need I say anymore ?
The Minerals
All minerals used in nutrient manufacture are basically dirt. The iron, calcium, zinc etc. are just mined ore, pulverized and powdered to a fine dust. This doesn't make it any easier to assimilate. Some calcium is made from ground up oyster shells. This reminds me of when I was a kid watching the Three Stooges fix dinner; they would throw the oysters away and try and chew the shells, we all laughed at them and now we are doing the same thing. Modern research shows us that minerals of this type are 99% inassimilable. The manufacturers response to this is to add pig digestive enzymes, which supposedly pre-digests it or chelates it, in their attempts to force our body to accept this toxic material. Is this practice of chelating minerals really to our benefit or a dangerous act of ignorance ?"
The best thing you can do for your body and hair is to eat a good diet. Eating a fresh salad will do you more good than all the "vitamin" pills in the world. Eating 20 fresh salads a day is probably the most potent medicine you could ever find. Most of what's in those vitamin pills will just pass right through your body without being absorbed or used.
*discretely throws Centrum bottle in garbage* Very interesting...I would like to read more about this. What sources did you use for this info?

Our drinking water comes out of the polluted sky and falls onto the dirty ground with bugs and feces on it. hmmmm...
And we put manure on plants to fertilize them.
Where are they supposed to get vitamins and minerals from? Do you think the government doesn't regulate the vitamin companies at all? They control everything else, but they don't inspect vitamins and minerals? They are just picking up rocks, grinding them up and putting them into tablet form for us with no regulations? It seems like I would have seen something on the news about that or something.
