A few months ago, I introduced you to Fish Collagen Capsules and Beauty Bursts from NeoCell (reviewed here). Now, I’d like to bring you two more products from their amazing lineup that I’ve been using for a couple of months.
NeoCell Biotin Bursts
Like the Beauty Bursts with hyaluronic acid, NeoCell just launched new chewable fruit-flavored Biotin Bursts with anti-oxidants from the Brazilian acai berry.
[
They taste great, and the directions say to take one 10000 mcg chew per day. 30 chews come in the bag. The retail price is approximately $12-16 per bag.
Prior to being introduced to Biotin Bursts, I was taking biotin capsules or pills in much lower amounts of biotin. My hair that always grows fast, grows even faster now. And since I switched to this big boy, you should see my nails. They grow sooooo fast and they are so long! They’re even longer than in this photo I took a few days ago. Yikes.
Just a word about the benefits of biotin. Several years ago, my nails started splitting. The thumb on my right hand and my big toe on my left foot both developed vertical splits. They were unsightly and actually painful. I had to stop wearing polish entirely, and using topical nail hardeners didn’t help at all. I asked my doctor about it, and she was no ideas on how to fix it. I looked it up online and came up with biotin as a possible remedy.
It took quite a while, but the biotin did the trick. The deep, long splits finally grew out and the nails that replaced it were healthier with no splits.
If you are having problems with your nails due to menopause, chemotherapy, or for any other reason, give biotin a try and be patient. I truly recommend NeoCell Biotin Bursts because they are such a simple way to take biotin and the higher amount makes healing much faster.
NeoCell Hyaluronic Acid, Blueberry Liquid
I had never heard of a product like NeoCell’s Hyaluronic Acid blueberry liquid! I think it’s an innovative way to take hyaluronic acid.
I need to drink more water since I never get enough.
Now in the morning, I drink a glass of water with blueberry liquid and I also take two NeoCell Fish Collagen capsules with it. I kill two birds with one stone, so to speak plus that way, I get at least one glass of water in my day!
The way it works is I add one tablespoon of NeoCell HA to an 8 ounce glass of water.
I stir it, and the water turns a pretty red/purple color.
It tastes like a wild blueberry: a bit sharp, not sweet, but very refreshing. I suppose you could add honey to it if you want a sweet drink, but I like it on its own.
The recommended one tablespoon serving contains 50mg of HA.
NeoCell Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid contains 16 oz. and is supposed to have 32 servings. Somehow, it’s lasted me longer than that. It’s available on Amazon and at lots of different vitamin sites and stores such as Whole Foods, GNC Dr. Vita, Vitamin Shoppe, Puritan’s Pride etc. It’s priced between $25-30. You can find more information about these and other NeoCell products on the NeoCell website.

Kiss & Make-up recently posted…Review | Estée Lauder Modern Muse Chic eau de parfum
Sorry, Kiss&Makeup, I wish it was an international giveaway. The Biotin Bursts are incredible, and I love my HA blueberry liquid!
I would love to try the Biotin Bursts because I have brittle nails and an even bigger problem with thinning, limp hair. I’ve taken Biotin before butt when it didn’t work after a few weeks, I stopped.
Thanks so much for entering, Debra. I adore the Biotin Bursts. They are definitely doing the job for me. That said, when I first started using biotin to grow out my split nails, it took months to see a change (but I was taking only 2500 mcg instead of the 10000mcg in the Bursts). You have to be very patient with biotin but it starts to show effects after about 3 months.
Thank you for your great blog and this giveaway. As for the Biotin, I do need more patience! Just bought more today because, ugh, my hair and nails are in terrible shape! I’ve ruled out diet issues; I have a very healthy diet. Here’s hoping!
Check the dosage amount of the biotin that you bought today. According to NeoCell in the Biotin Bursts, it looks like you can take up to 10000mcg a day. Hopefully, your hair and nails will start to look healthier to you soon. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, Debra 😉
I would love to try the HA blueberry liquid. All I ever drink is water so this would be an easy step to add to my routine besides that it sounds yummy.
Laura, the blueberry liquid is such a cool product! I’ve never heard of anything like it. It definitely helps me drink more water since I don’t drink enough. Thank you for entering the giveaway and good luck!!
This sounds quite nice. I like that the Hyaluronic you mix with water and that it doesnt taste bad. So many things that you usually mix have a “ewwww” taste. This sounds awesome and unlike anything I have seen before. And those Biotin chew- I think I need ASAP. My nails need to start growing badly!!! Thanks for sharing and totally entering this awesome giveaway!

Jamie, the blueberry liquid is definitely palatable. For me, it is refreshing in cold water. And the Biotin chews taste great. Hope you did enter!
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this company. My nails are screaming for help.

I think I’d like to try the Biotin. I have really dry nails because of my Hypothyroidism. I bet these would help!
It is certainly worth a try, Sarah! Glad you entered! good luck 🙂
When I was growing my hair out Biotin was my best friend. I would have definitely preferred it in a chewable form like this though.
Biotin really works if you give it time, doesn’t it! And the chews make it so much easier
I would love to try the Biotin Bursts because my nails have been very brittle lately.
They are terrific, Samantha! My nails are sooooo long. It’s amazing. Thank you for entering and good luck!
I love the sound of the blueberry HA! Great idea. 🙂

Yes, it does! Great stuff! Thanks for entering, Maren. Good luck 🙂
Those Biotin Bursts sound great and you can’t beat the price!
You said it, Sheila!
I’m so surprised your doctor didn’t know a remedy for something that seems fairly simple! But anyway, I’m glad you found an easy fix for your problem! I’ve been trying to grow out my hair and it’s in this awkward/annoying middle stage right now. Maybe I’ll try some of this to speed up the process lol
Sharon recently posted…How it all started
No, she didn’t, Sharon. She’s an internist so it was OK. Biotin Bursts have definitely made my hair grow faster, but it takes a while to get going. But thank you for commenting, for entering, and good luck 🙂
love this giveaway! I need to grow out my hair

I would love to try the BIOTIN BURSTS because I have been wanting to try these for the longest and I want to see if they would help with my acne.
Darlene, I’m happy that you entered the giveaway for the NeoCell Biotin Bursts. Just wanted to let you know, however, that biotin helps strengthen nails and hair, but I’m not aware that it does anything to help acne…just so you know 😉
BIOTIN BURSTS PLEASE =)
Okidoke. Thanks, Shanna, and good luck 🙂
That’s okay. As long as it helps my hair and nails! 🙂
Great, Darlene 🙂
I’ve been really eager to try the Biotin Bursts ever since I first heard about them. I want to see what it can do for my nails, because they need some help.
Alisha H. recently posted…InstaNatural Deep Cleansing Facial Oil & Pure Rosehip Seed Oil | Review
That’s great that you know about the Biotin Bursts, Alisha! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
The blueberry liquid sounds incredible! I’m a huge fan of blueberry anything, I know I would love that!!
Yay, Melissa! It’s a refreshing blueberry taste. Plus it’s great for helping to hydrate your skin. Thank you for entering and good luck!
I’d LOVE to try the biotin bursts. I frequently dye my hair and my nails often break, so those would be perfect!
Great, Jessica! I think just about everyone should take biotin for their nails and hair, and these are such a yummy, easy way to do it. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I would take the Biotin. As I’m getting older I’m noticing changes in my hair and nails, not pleasant ones lol. My hair is not as thick or bouncy as it used to be. My nails are soft, and just break before they are even long enough to polish.
I think biotin could help with those changes, Denise. Thank you for entering and good luck 🙂
the biotin burst because I like the flavors
Good reason, Latanya. Thanks for entering and good luck!
The Biotin Bursts for sure,,
My Hair needs the help!
Great! Thanks for entering, Lisa, and good luck:)
I’d like to try the Biotin bursts. I’ve read biotin helps with skin and hair- both of which I’d like to improve. Thanks!
