Elon Matrix 5000 Extended Release

I am an African American Female that would recommend this product to anyone! These Vitamins were initially recommended from my Dermatologist a few years back because of severe hair shedding. I used this product on and off, however; I have consistently used this product for 3 months straight and have noticed remarkable progress. I did not see any results until about 1 month. Only downside to this product is initially I begin seeing minor blemishes on my face, couple strains of hair on my chin that you can hardly see, and minimal stomach cramping but this only lasted about 1 week or so and was then resolved. Once these symptoms were resolved, My skin looked very healthy and clear. My hair is growing faster, for example I had just had a relaxer and usually it takes about 2-3 weeks to see new growth, When I got my relaxer, within less than one week I had new growth that was seen by the naked eye. So in summary, This is worth the buy and dedication to assist with hair growth, Thicker hair, Healthier hair, Lesser shedding, and good healthy skin. Will update once I have my relaxer in may with measurable results. I hope this helps.

I wrote a review for this product over a year ago and want to give an update. I don't know what I would do without this product. I take both this and the Matrix 5000 without vitamins, once a day. Before I started taking the product, my hair would come out in the shower and it was thinning from loss of hormones as a naturally occuring aging phenomenon. After just a few months of use,hair loss had stopped, there was new hair growth all over my head and my hair was somewhat stronger. Now, after two years of taking this product daily, my hair is extremely strong and much thicker. New hair continues to sprout, so I have masses of new, short little hairs that will grow out to full length over time and masses of older growth that is now about 4 inches long. This product doesn't just make the texture of your existing hair fuller and stronger, which makes for better volume....it actually causes you to have a tremendous amount of new hair growth that is REAL volume. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for this product. I used to never leave the house without putting in mousse after washing my hair. I haven't had to use mousse to add volume to my hair in over a year. If you want a volumizing shampoo, the best thing ever is a shampoo by Kevin Murphy called Angel Wash. There are no sulfates to strip the moisture and color out of color treated hair and hair is left soft, very full looking and shiny. Get this product at a salon that carries it. It's expensive but worth every penny.

I have used this a long time. It works great.

I started taking these vitamins about 6 months ago when I realized my hair was falling out just as bad as it did when I was around 4 months post-partum. I would say I noticed a reduction in the hair loss within about 2 weeks of taking the supplement so I continued, but only ordered one bottle and forgot to reorder for a few weeks when I ran out. It was as though I started all over again with the progress and hair was falling out again. Then once I was back on track and ordered 2 bottles to prevent the same thing from happening again the improvement happened again and has continued to improve. I now have tons of short hair regrowth where I originally noticed how thin my hair was getting (around the forehead and temples). I have run out for a week since the original and i immediately notice an effect because it takes time to build the vitamins back up in your system. If you start on these and see improvement don’t allow yourself to run out because it just makes the process that much longer. They taste like vanilla and I actually have said many times that I can’t stand taking my other vitamins without this one because this smells and tastes good so I’m not tasting and smelling the horrific multivitamin and turmeric vitamins. The only negative is the price. They are expensive and the best price I’ve found on a per bottle basis is $22 and I had a coupon for another website from rewards accumulating. They work so it’s worth it to me.

My dermatologist recommended 5,000 mcg of Biotin, ideally taken in two doses, morning and evening, for strengthening and thickening my hair. I chose the Elon Matrix because of the positive reviews and because my research indicated that silicone dioxide and cellulose, which are also in this supplement, can help hair growth. I break it in half and take half in the morning with breakfast and half in the evening with dinner.Results after 4 months: Hair is growing much faster. How do I know? I dye it using permanent dye and I now have a ridiculous amount of roots growing in at two weeks -- I can't go longer than that without dyeing or it starts to look crazy. I used to go 3 weeks to a month between dye jobs. I seem to be losing less hair as well, though it's hard to measure that except in "horror units" -- I've gone from horrified to merely somewhat disappointed when I look at how much of my hair falls out when I shower.I've also noticed that my nails are difficult to clip. I mean, they have gotten tough! I wasn't taking these for nails, but it's a nice side effect. As for my skin -- I didn't notice anything different until I had major foot surgery. I'd had the same surgery on my other foot a year previously. But this time, the identical huge and horrible incision healed MUCH faster and much better! I wasn't expecting that, but I'm guessing it's partly because of the vitamins.It's so rare that supplements have a measurable effect that I had to review this one. It's expensive but just for the effects on my surgical wounds alone it would have been worth it.

I have been using this product for 2 years now and have no complaints. I have noticed that my nails are much stronger and my hair has slowly grown a bit (I am mixed with very curly hair). The changes took about 4 months for me to notice. My hair isn't excessively long but for the first time it reaches past my bra strap! I plan to continue using this product.
