Hair Vitamins

[James]

Some people on some other boards seem to like the effect that taking a hair vitamin has on their hair. Has anyone here had any experience taking one?

I took a product called "Looking Young" by Freelife. I could notice a difference(in skin and hair quality) but didn't want to keep spending the money on it. Topicals such as Equisomin seem to do just as well for me. I also took MSM for quite some time.

I tried Natrecia from the Raztek (Crinagen) folks. Not sure if it made any difference. I think a good multivitamin and some additional supplements (gse, MSM, green tea extract, various amino acids, etc.) help overall, but can be a burden on the wallet.

Of course if you can afford it, its probably worth it to take a multivitamin for general health, and some of the other stuff that may help with hair health is good for general health as well.

Yeah, I think that I may start taking a multi-vitamin for my general health because my diet is awful. I may throw in some green tea extract and grape seed extract and just see if my hair responds. Anyone else have any experience or input?

I have always felt that eating your vitamins is better than digesting a pill.

Good supplement foods:


Kashi "Heart to Heart" Oatmeal - contains Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea Extract, Chicory Root and 100% of E, B6, B12, Folic

Kashi "Lean" cereals: usually made with Soy flour and other good alternatives. Flaxseed too.. also used in Uncle Sam's

Cliff's Bars or Zone bars: The most natural of the meal bars and has a whole host of vitamins and lean protein. They are very filling and can sub as 3/4 of a lunch.

I agree that getting vitamins/minerals through diet is much better than taking a pill. But I think the common problem is that a lot of people don't have the money or patience to get all that good stuff through diet. I def. agree with you though.
