Do those vitamins specifically for hair, nails and skin really work?

Or can you get the same basic results from drinking lots of water and taking a multi-vitamin.Do those vitamins specifically for hair, nails and skin really work?
Well, if you're using the right vitamins and you need the benefits, absolutely!





The biggest ingredients that help for healthy hair, skin, and nails are Biotin (one of the B vitamins), MSM, Silica (often from Horsetail), Hyaluronic Acid, L-Cysteine, and some of the other B vitamins.


One of the other posters was technically right about the pre-natal vitamins... but that's because they have a lot of B vitamins, especially Biotin and Folic Acid, plus women take them for many months.


The biggest problem with hair/skin/nail products is the expectations of the people taking them.... they don't realize that it affects the health of the NEW hair, skin, and nails, and that those take a few months to see the new growth. Many people expect pills to help quickly and assume that it would work on the hair/nails that have already grown... but it doesn't.





A multivitamin will help a little with hair, skin, and/or nails because it will have some small amount of the B vitamins... but there's not very much. Also, another major deciding factor of if or how well a hair/skin/nail product will work for you is if you're lacking the nutrition... meaning if your nails aren't very healthy to start with. If your hair/nails aren't very healthy, I'd say give it a shot for a few months... your skin should be healthier, and you should see the roots of your hair and the base of your nails being much healthier. Good luck!Do those vitamins specifically for hair, nails and skin really work?
I know that Pre-Natel Vitamins really work for hair and nail growth you dont have to be pregnant to take them theres lots of good vitamins in them and your hair and nails will really grow
I don't think so. I took them for a month and didn't notice any difference. Recently I started taking a multivitamin for women every day, although with eating better (making sure I was getting plenty of fruits and veggies) and drinking a lot of water. I noticed that my nails have become healthier just from that.
The supplement really only works when the person really needs the extra supplement. For some people a multi vitamin isn't enough for certain things. If you have rough or course hair and terrible nails, then taking extra supplements of Vitamins C and E should help.
The vitamins that are specifically for hair nails and skin do help, a little. A multi-vitamin won't necesarrily help. I wouldn't spend your money on them though. Just eat more healthy, drink a lot of water, and eat meat. The protein in meat helps to make your hair healthier and shinier.
