Do Hair Loss Vitamins Really Work?

i am 14 and i was wondering if it is ok to take these vitamins…or do they have any negative side effects? thank u!

Yes you can take them and shouldn't have side effects. I take them as well because it has the biotin which helps my nails to grow since I have a hard time with them growing without breaking and splitting and it also helps your hair. I have no side effects to the vitamins. You should be fine

and ive been taking it since the beginning of september..

GNC has a supplement called "Nourishair" that makes the hair grow faster, you can read what's in it by googling it. Be warned these pills are HUGE and you have to take 2 a day.
Also ProCaps labs sells a "hair skin and nails" formula that does the same thing, supports hair growth and health, and is smaller and easier to swallow.
If you take only Biotin alone, make sure you take at least 2.5 milligrams or 2500 micrograms [the same thing] a day because thats' a good amount to take. I use the Nourshair supplement from GNC now and my hair is growing faster than it did, but it took about 6 to 8 weeks of daily use to see results.

Would it hurt me to take them if I am not Pregnant for my nails and hair?

I am 18 if you need to know.

No, it won't hurt at all. I've known men to take prenatal vitamins!

Any daily vitamin will help over not taking any vitamins at all. And I agree with whoever said prenatals… I know for personal experience that they help!!!

If you already are a regular vitamin-taker and are still looking to boost your hair growth, make sure you eat a diet rich in protein (lean meat, chicken, fish, nuts, etc) and lots of fresh fruit and veggies… and drink a couple liters of water a day to keep toxins flushed out of your system, cuz toxin build up can slow your hair growth, among other things. Also, if you still want the extra vitamin boost… take extra folic acid, vitamins A, D & E. Or just start taking prenatals along with your dailies.

Good luck!

my friends hairdresser told her to take pre-natal vitamins to make her hair grow better. she said it also helped her fingernails, and made her boobs grow. I was wondering if this really works and why. And also if they are ok to take if you are not pregnant (she isn't and neither am I) I especially want to know about if they make your breasts grow.

I have never heard about the breats, but yes everything else is true. ALso it is ok to take pre-natal vitamins even if you are not pregnant. There is nothing wrong with a little extra Iron in your diet. Doctors even recommend taking Iron if your not pregnant but are of child baring years.

Biotin. Foget the expensive hair, skin, & nail vitamins. Go to CVS/Walmart, and buy a bottle of biotin. I had alopecia, and I had bald patches in my hair for awhile. My dermatologist said to take biotin and it's been great.
