Any of you take supplements for your skin, hair and nails? Vitamin A and D? Did you notice any difference at all and how regular were you?
My sister has been taking Vitamin A & D supplements and Mashallah there’s a HUGE difference.
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
I've been perscribed Vitamin D by my dr.
I dont feel the different but its not been to long since I've been using it.
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
Someone recomended **Biotin **for hair. It made me very queasy.
I took phyto vitamins for hair - my hair grew (in length)
I stick to the hair, nails and skin vitamins from GNC. It's decent but only notice a subtle difference.

^ I've tried the GNC one too - didn't do jack sh!t for me :(

Muniya - I asked my mum and she said if you had a defiency in a vitamin and then these supplements will help you. If you eat a pretty balanced diet which most people do - you get all of these vitamins as a part of your daily food intake.
... and the way I eat - I don't think I am malnurished in anyway :)
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
i am using Hair n Nail's by Nature's bounty. it has L-cystine, biotin, B6, Inositol and horsetail. Also PABA Supplement on top of normal daily vitamins. When i'm very regular my body hair grows very fast. So i guess they do work. i'm just not very regular though.

My sister isn't malnourished either lol.. but vitamin A & D has really helped her hair and skin and Mashallah is shows.
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
I've started omega 3 supplements, it's too early to see the effects since I've only been taking them for 2 weeks but I'm gonna continue with them for 6 months atleast. It should be very good for hair and skin, especially dry skin.
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
I've also heard that vitamin A serums for skin do wonders and vitamin C is good for giving your skin a healthy glow.

Gina, what difference exactly do you see? More volume in hair? Growth of hair is increased? Shiny hair? Skin glows? Less blemishes? And also, may I ask how frequently she takes those supplements?
I've been taking Omega 3679 supplements by Genuine Health for about 3 weeks now. I'm not sure if I see any re-growth of hair that I'd lost in the past few years but the hair feel and look less brittle, more shiny, and healthy MASHALLAH. I do intend to continue taking them for 6 months and will update my experience :)
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
yeh gina, what did the vitamin a and d do? THANKS
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
I take One A Day for women's...and i have noticed my hair-fall has decreased....but no new growth....been taking them for abt 2 months now.
She has Mashallah thick and lusturous hair now.. and her complexion has improved as well. Her hair used to be pretty lifeless and brittle.. she takes it everyday and it's really helped her. It's been around 4 months now.
^ Perfect! runs to drugstore to get Vit A and D pills
Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
OH yes, while I'm here, I'd like to know if someone here ever took Nutricap hair/nail/skin supplement pills? Please mention how long did you take it for and did you notice any difference in your hair/nails/skin?
I'm sorry, Gina, if I'm hijacking your thread. It's just that Nutricap is advertised quite a lot here in North American and boasts huge claims to improve the overall look and feel. I thought people could be benefited from the reviews on this particular supplement too.

Re: Skin, Hair & Nail supplements
i used hydrolised colagen by holland n barret a couple of years ago and it did help.
now i just take my B 3- 6 -12 vit plus omega 3 fish oil. having fresh organic food and excersize helps.
