A hair update: Product Review: Manetabolism Hair vitamins

I finished the 30-day supply of the manetabolism hair vitamins. I am not a pill popper and really don't like taking pills except they are absolutely necessary for my health. With that said, I do take biotin, prenatal vitamins (never stopped after having JOE) and fish oil (on advise from my doctor).

Before I go into the pros and cons of this vitamin, I have to tell you that I really did not think these vitamins would work. I figured it was a fad and likely was only successful due to a good marketing/advertising campaign. However, even with all that, I was willing to give it a try them because as low key as my transition to natural hair has been, I am eager to just have all one texture. Granted, I am one of the lucky ones that hasn't had a lot of issues with my transition.

Anyways, here is my personal review review of the product.
PROS:
1. They were easy to take. Since they are in capsule form and not tablet.
2. They didn't give me any gas or burping issues after taking them.
3. I didn't experience any headaches or acne. Translation, I experienced no side effects.
4. I did experience 1-inch of growth!

CONS:
1. It required me to take 2 capsules every day. I took them both at once cause otherwise, I would forget if I had to take it separately.
2. It cost just under $25 for a 30-day supply versus what it would cost to take biotin and MSM supplements (the main ingredients) for 60-days.

Overall, I have more pros than cons and I consider that a win.

So on to my results.

This is what the container looks like.

The ingredients listed. Sorry for the blurry pic. I kept trying and this was the best one. The flash and black background didn't mix so I tried without the camera flash and still no dice.

Where I started on 6/27/14. Just about 4-inches of new growth. 

My results as of 7/24/14. Just about 5-inches. Yes, I am 2-days shy of the full 30-days supply but I figured it would be a busy weekend and I didn't want to forget to take the picture.

I cut a piece off the front of my hair so I could accurately measure. Thankfully, it still fits in the buns I often wear. This piece is now fully natural.

I already cut the back of my hair a while back. Not a noticeable difference since it now blends but enough to be able to see my curl pattern back there.

Here are my side by side results after taking manetabolism for a little less than a month.

Verdicts??? 

It DOES work! I am surprised because if you read my last hair update post, you'll know that my hair only grows about 1/2-inch per month. 

So there you have it. It lived up to the hype and my expectations. Will I take it again in the future? Only if I got a free supply of the vitamins. At this point, I don't plan on investing more in hair vitamins. I'll just stick with what I used to take which is a lot cheaper.

PS:

My above comments/experience are MINE ALONE! I am not a medical doctor and am not advocating use or avoidance of this vitamin. 

Up next, I am thinking about trying the "inversion method" thing. Have you heard about or tried it? If so, do share your results.
