| My friend told me that her hair grows like a weed when she takes them. Looking for feedback bc when you google them, there are a lot of people who say that they have a lot of side effects (acne, headaches, etc.). I am interested in your feedback. Thanks. |
| I took Biotin for 90 days. My doctor AND pharmacist BOTH told me it was hit or miss - it helps some people and not others. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I am looking to strengthen my nails and hair. If anyone has any other recs they would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you! |
No luck for me

| Great Lakes gelatin has been awesome for my hair and nails. |
| Prenatal vitamins will likely give you a good result. Sofia Vergara uses them. |

+1 for the prenatal vitamins. Just make sure you're not getting too much vitamin A.
For hair, I would suggest getting your thyroid levels checked if you have not done so already. My hairloss has dramatically reduced once my levels were regulated. |
| I got a biotin sharpoo and hair growth shampoo from a doctor. Got back all my lost hair. But and a big but - you also have to take other vitamins to balance out these I.e the biotin. At first I didn't take the vitamins and broke out like crazy but when I started taking the vitamins my skin totally cleared up. The doc said that for some people biotin has to be taken in combination with other vitamins. |
| Why not clean up your diet? Much more effective all around. |
This does not always work. It's about hormones. I eat only fresh produce etc but still get acne. I've seen many doctors and trust me it's not your diet it has a lot to do with hormonal cycles. |
What other vitamins? |
| My skin is clear but ive had weak brittle nails and thin bodied hair my whole life. Could these vitamins work for me? |
Food gives us the nutrients to create the right hormones though. |
Ever heard of polycystic ovary syndrome or nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia? |
Nope. Anyone else? |
NP here, You've never heard of PCOS? Look it up. Food won't fix it. |
