Vitamin Survey

[yac]

Hi All!

Could you share with me what vitamins you are taking for your hair. There is probably already a thread out here on this topic but I can’t find it.

I was taking pre-natal vitamins and was getting immediate results with my nails, but not my hair. I stopped taking the pre-natals because a Registered Dietician told me that they have too much iron. She told me that no female needs that much iron unless she’s anemic, pregnant, nursing a child, or vegetarian.

Now I’m taking those expensive Hair Formula 37 vitamins (HF37). I don’t understand the benefit of having to take that many vitamins several times a day. Plus, they’re expensive. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’m guilty of thinking just because something is pricey that it will work better then something less expensive. I’ve been taking these vitamins for only a few days and I will finish all of them just because they were so dang expensive. I hope to find some more reasonably priced vitamins that do the job.

I was reading on an older vitamin thread that Nutrilife (spelling?) vitamins are good also.

I just want to get your opinions.

Thanks in Advance!

Yac

I take One-A-Day and that's it. I was reading an article on here about how a lot of vitamins don't contain what they say they contain. Some even have harmful ingredients. I stick to One-A-Day.

i take perfectil hair, skin and nails and its great. ive used other brands but this vitamin is the only one that has given me study growth.

Try the prenatals without iron...GNC sells them. But, I think as long as you have a vitamin that contains folic acid, biotin and vitamin e...you'll b ok.

I take a generic target brand of prenatals. I saw results in my hair from doing this two years ago (went from sl to past apl in three months) so I decided to try it again.

I used to use Phyto vitamins from Sephora. They're 50 dollars a bottle. Made my hair texture nice but didn't grow my hair.
Biotin does though...

 

[Denise11]

I don't take vitamins for my hair, I take them for my health. I take One-a-day, vitamin D, Omega 3, and B-Complex when needed.

I don't do the taking vitamins for hair thing. My hair grows fine if I'm taking nothing at all, because I try to eat well.

 

[AllieCat0817]

Maxi Hair
MSM
Biotin
Chlorella
Spirulina

After all of the vits run out I plan to only do Chlorella nad MSM. Still not sure if I will continue the Spirulina. The Chlorella is supposed to be an awesome food multivitamin.

I use MSM right now. I started using it to help me with my excema.

A positive side effect is that it is making my hair much softer and easier to manage as it grows in.

I cannot say it is causing any major overgrowth, but I think I would need to be using it for about 6 months to really say it gives more ng than I can get without it.

 

[topnotch1010]

GNC multi-vit for active women & fish oil. I stopped taking garlic, and I see the difference. I'm going to start back, but they burn my stomach sometimes even on a full stomach.

 

[keepithealthy]

I am taking chlorella,spirulina, and super omega 3 fish oil. I know it sound like a lot but it really isn't I just keep them in a pill case and take them at lunch. My skin is soft and clear and my eyelashes have grown in very thick and I have lots of ng. I am getting such great results that I am motivated to switch up my whole diet to be more healthy.
