What vitamins do I need to take to help my hair grow?

Question

I have a thyroid condition which makes my hair grow at an incredibly slow rate and it's driving me mad! I'd like to start taking vitamin supplements to aid hair growth. Which ones should I take?

Answer 1

I am afraid above and beyond a normal, balanced diet, you can do nothing to accelerate hair growth.

Answer 2

prenatal  

Answer 3

Prenatal vitamins are actually really great for your hair AND your fingernails! You can find them at Walmart for a relatively low price! Good Luck!

Answer 4

Instead of vitamin supplements that isolate particular chemicals try eating a variety of fruits/vegetables. You are probably upset that I didn't suggest some pills to pop but think of it this way: those fruits and vegetables not only have an abundance of vitamins that do the same job as any bottle of vitamin supplements, but they have other chemicals in them that react with those vitamins that the bottled variety simply cannot achieve. Scientists have isolated these vitamins into bottles assuming that one particular compound holds the key to nutriential value/cures/etc but there is research that suggest these vitamins are most effective when they interact with other natural nutrients in real fruits and vegetables.

To sum it up, if you opt for a supplement, try Vitamin Cs, A, E. But it you really want to see results, pick up some vegetables and fruits like broccoli, strawberries, blueberries, spinach, etc and start munching them down! It will help your thyroid fight radicals AND grow your hair back.

Answer 5

Vitamins B, C, F, zinc, iron, copper and protein are essential for hair growth. Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables is probably the best way to achieving healthy hair.Try http://solutionsforhairgrowth.blogspot.c... for more details.
