What Exactly is Biotin?

Aloha,

Have you wanted your hair or nails to grow faster and thicker than they naturally do? As my hair grew back after chemotherapy I was extremely impatient. I bought biotin pills to take every day and my hair has actually grown in faster and thicker than before. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are pictures starting in June 2016 to April 2019 with how much my hair has grown with the help of biotin.

I was reading Dr. Purser’s new book Vitamin Deficiency Symptoms & Cures he wrote with Jared Larkin about the benefits of vitamins. I came across biotin and there are even more benefits than I realized! Here are a few of the new benefits I learned:

• Impacts progressive MS

• Reduces skin rashes

• Relieves muscle cramps

• Helps with coronary risk factors and glycemic control

• Improves uncombable hair syndrome and neurological disorders syndrome

• Slows and prevents hair loss

• Strengthens brittle nails

Biotin is an amazing vitamin whether you are wanting your hair to grow faster, or struggle with any of these symptoms mentioned above. Be sure to check out Dr. Purser’s book to learn more!

Keep smiling,

Natural Progesterone

Aloha,

In a previous blog, I talked about the ‘Sunshine’ vitamin, and today I want to share a little bit about the ‘Feel Good’ hormone. Natural progesterone is an incredible hormone that helps women with many benefits women. Take a look at some of these benefits:

• Stops or reduces hot flashes

• Stops or reduces night- or day-sweats

• Reduces risk of breast cancer

• Kills breast cancer cells (causes apoptosis)

• Reduces or reverses fibrocystic breast tissue

• Reduces the risk of heart attacks (reduces coronary artery disease)

• Causes somnolence (sleepiness) and aids in sleep

• Causes weight loss

• Causes increase muscle

• Gets rid of migraines and menstrual headaches in women (not men)

• Shuts down endometriosis

• Halts abnormal uterine bleeding

• Causes hair regrowth (thicker hair)

I can imagine almost every woman has at least one thing on the above list they would like to reduce or stop. The women in my family that take the compounded progesterone version, that dissolve under the tongue, rave about the benefits! Since monthly cycles are less painful, or nonexistent, they do not need to plan for ‘that time’ of month.  

I sat down with a woman who started to use progesterone in her 40s. She would suffer from horrible monthly cycles including heavy flow, clotting, and cramps. When she started progesterone, she had “an overall feeling of wellness, slept better, and felt an improvement in sex-drive.” The progesterone changed her monthly cycles into a much gentler experience along with clearer skin.

Another woman in her 20s says, “Progesterone is the ultimate woman's feel good hormone! I’ve taken it since I was 17 and I cannot not live without. It always keeps my cramps and emotions steady and helps me sleep fully. Progesterone just makes me feel better overall!”

As you can see the benefits of this natural hormone help women of all ages. If you are interested to learn more about progesterone, speak with your doctor and check out Dr. Purser’s book PROGESTERONE: The Ultimate Woman’s Feel Good Hormone.

Keep Smiling,

Melissa
