have you gotten more then hair growth from your vitamins?

[lora410]

I started vitamins about a year ago. I took so many that I felt like a medicine cabinet, and seemed to do no good so I went off of them. So I started them again about 2 months ago and got smart about it. I take a one a day weight smart advanced (regular vits made me eat all day), 1 Biotin 5,000 and 1 Msm 1,000. Since I started this new vits I have more hair growth, increased feeling of well being and energy as well as much stronger nails. The nails surprised me today because I never grew them because they broke off and were soft. Now they are a nice length and tuff. So the question is what have you gotten out of your daily vitamins usage?

ETA: My skin has cleared up as well

I've only started taking some for about half a month so far, but I'm making sure I stick to them properly this time lol :nono:! I've always been terrible with taking vitamins before. I am taking Mega Vitamins For The Hair, Biotin, Evening Primrose Oil and Zinc. I haven't measured my hair yet since taking them but like you I've found my nails are growing really fast and stronger than before :grin: I hope that by looking at your nails it is an indication that they're also doing good for your hair ;)

Well I have found biotin to be brilliant. My nails are tougher and longer without breaking. Hair grows faster.

I bought one of thoses mon-sun pill holders, and leave it on my counter with each of my vits in them so I don't forget :lol: best investment thus far.

I started growing my hair 10 months ago and started the vitamins same time. So, I really can't say. However, my nails have never looked so good.

Ahhh clever idea :grin: You've inspired me to look some up now hehe :lol:

I once tried biotin out. The result was, hair on my head didn't grow more at all, on the other side, my body hair increased. And by skin breaked out.

Now, I'm taking some normal vitamins, not for hair, just to make sure I don't get any.. er...god damn dictionary disappeared when I moved.. get too little of something. And E-vitamin for my skin. And those don't have any effect on hari growth or anything.
(but so far, I have never found anything that has any effect on my hair growth in that way, the it would make my hair grow faster)

I have been taking Shen Min Vitamins for hair, 4 months now. I love them, you can see the full story in my BLOG (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/blog.php?b=15488)

I've been taking Hair, Skin, and Nail vitamins for 1 month. I haven't measured my hair yet ( I've decided to measure the 1st of every month) so I don't know if they've helped with growth. My nails are a lot stronger and don't chip. And my skin has cleared up tremendously :D Go vitamins!

well when i originally started taking vitamins right after i joined i had amazing growth.. sometimes close to 2 inches a month.. my nails grew so fast that i had to stop using acrylic.. i had to fill them in every other day it was ridiculous.. i do miss my acrylic nails but im too lazy to buy a new acrylic kit and too poor to get them done at a salon..
my skin has some problems with biotin i think..
i take natrol skin hair nails.. and a centrum every day

MSM is what really did it for my nails. They aren't brittle and don't break now!

It's funny, if I go off my multivitamin I get moody. I've been taking them for years now. Between the vitamins, lots of veggies and water that's what keeps my skin clear. Exercise doesn't hurt either though, keeps my pores working!

I take a multi vitamin with iron and kelp and I too have started seeing a difference in not just my hair as well as nails.

I've been using cod liver oil and Hair-Skin-Nails Connection for four months, and my skin has been less dry and less prone to break-outs.

My mom and I started taking biotin around the same time. We both noticed a rapid increase in our baby hair growth.. i used to have baby hairs that went to my mid-forehead and after taking biotin grew to my eyes in around a month!

When I diligently take flax and borage oil I notice a great improvement in my skin. It seems more supple and my acne all but disappears.

I take about a medicine chest's worth, but the ones that I really see as having real effect on me is my walmart brand teen multivitamin, zinc, evening primrose oil, and flaxseed oil. My hair is smoother and calmer with my oils, my skin is loads better with zinc, and I just feel better with m multivitamin. I also take biotin, horsetail, and vitamin E but I don't know what kind of effect they have on me. Perhaps the biotin helps my hair grow faster, but not a noticable amount on a month to month basis
