do hair vitamins really make your hair grow? If so, which ones?

Answer 1

I have been taking hair supplements for the past 3 years and here is what I have found.
GNC makes a tablet called "Ultra Nourishair" in formulas for men and women, the pills are taken daily, 2 pills a day. They are HUGE and very hard to swallow, if you have any trouble at all with large tablets, then I wouldn't recommend these. The 2 pills also contain only 1200 micrograms total of Biotin, which is the main supplement needed for hair to grow faster and stronger. You should try to get a minimum of 2500 micrograms of Biotin daily to improve hair's rate of growth and its condition.
ProCaps labs makes a great supplement called "Hair Skin and Nails" formula, here is the link for that

This is in capsule form and much easier to swallow. This company, ProCaps labs is also extremely reputable and carries pure and effective products.
I took GNC's Nourishair for four months, and supplemented it with extra Biotin tablets daily due to its low Biotin content. I took 2500 micrograms extra Biotin with the GNC pills.
The Procaps hair vites have 2500 micrograms of Biotin in them, and don't really require extra Biotin be taken, but I do take an additional 2500 micrograms of Biotin for a daily total of 5000 micrograms of Biotin.
My hair is growing in thick and dark and quite quickly. My hair used to be very slow growing, but all of these supplements have really made a difference.
The only way to really change the health of your hair is by taking supplements that work internally on the follicle where hair is made, any shampoos or oils or other topically applied things do nothing to change hair's structure, that can only happen with systemically provided support, which means supplements that you take internally.......

Once you lose your hair you can't really get it back. However, you can take Vegetal silica, aka horsetail root, to make what you have grow thicker and faster. You can get it in liquid or pill form at any nutrition store. It is also good for your nails and skin. There is also a good line of products called Fine Solutions and it is definately worth the money. It's good for people who are losing their hair and don't want to lose anymore of it. It also helps make your hair grow thicker too. My boyfriend uses the spray which you use after you shower, while your hair is still wet and you pump it 5-10 times and then massage it in. It scared my boyfriend when he first used it because it tingled, but that's a good thing. It's working the folicles. I use it too. But vegetal silica is great too. Try both.

Vitamins can help keep hair healthy so it doesn't break and keep your scalp healthy. You are probably best off using a multi-vitamin because too much of some vitamins can have side effects...like viatamin A helps to keep your scalp healthy but too much (like over 25,000 IU) can cause hair loss.

A healthy diet and a good multi-vitamin does wonders for your hair.
