I just started my second box of Viviscal and I couldn't be happier with my results! I'm multiracial (Afr. Amer., Native American, and German). I've been using a relaxer since I was 6 and can easily notice when my hair grows. Typically, it's suppose to be 4 to 6 weeks between relaxers so you won't burn your scalp or damage your hair. Well, I have to stop putting relaxers in my hair it's growing so fast! At 3 weeks, I see new growth that I would normally see at 6 weeks or longer. Thickness wasn't an issue for me but the rate of growth has definitely increased. I haven't had ANY negative side effects and my nails grow every week. My hair is growing so fast, I've considered to discontinue using relaxers (THIS IS A BIG STEP FOR ME SINCE I'VE BEEN DEPENDENT ON THEM FOR MOST OF MY LIFE!) I take my pills twice a day, each with a meal and don't notice any "fishy" smell or taste (I'm VERY sensitive to taste and smell). I keep them in my purse so I can be reminded to take them everyday. CONSISTENCY is important. I ordered my first pack from lifes2good.com but it took them forever and a day to ship so for my second pack I ordered from amazon instead. They arrived in 2 days instead of 7. I HIGHLY recommend this product but remember CONSISTENCE is key!
