I can see a difference in my hair and nails

hi PointlessQuestions it is so amazing what the right combination of minerals and multi vitamins can do for us. Last winter I was ill all of December and January cold then flu then bronchitis and pneumonia n ow so far this winter since taking a more potent multi vitamins for seniors. It so unds like you are also having great results with your combination of vitamins too.My hair and nails look better b ut some of thats from the thyroid meds also I now take as I had too low thyroid.This change in my health has made a believer in me for the more potent vitamins and the fact that I get these free as o er the counter meds from my HMO its just great and would be foolish not to take advantage of the set price I can order for over the counter things like c alciums tablets and vitamins and other over the counter things all of us use.

My thoughts are that I'm going to start taking vitamins again. I have always gone through spells of taking them and then not bothering with them. I never get sick so I don't much think about it. But my eyebrows are an issue now that I'm older. I've never had to do much too them but now they are just so like what you are describing here. I don't have much trouble with my nails..so thanks for this PQ!

I have noticed that since I have been takin vitamins that my nails grow longer and faster. I have to continually clip them so I can type. I don't know how Dolly Parton does it. But she probably has people who does it for her. lol My BFF found that if she clipped the end of her lashes they would grow longer. Interesting how the body works and all isn't it?

You seem to be responding well to the vitamins.I haven't taken any vitamin.I know biotin namely coenzyme R and vitamin E are helpful to our health and the vitamin E has anti-aging effects.

Wow, it's good to see that vitamins really do work and help with things like that. I've been thinking about taking some sort of vitamins as well because my nails have always been pretty thin and they always break when they get too long. For Christmas I got a clear nail polish that is supposed to harden your nails. Maybe I'll use that and get some vitamins as well.

My nails are very dull, and have a lot of whote marks on them. I was told it was from the low iron. I am glad you got it figured out, and it's turning around. I know in the past I've had issues and my body has adjusted to it, and I just began to think it was normal.

The only supplements I currently take are calcium tablets, as I have a calcium defficiency plus I take cod liver oil tablets, mainly because of my strenuous work outs I do at the gym three times a week, my joints take a lot of punishment so they need to be cared for, and cod liver oil lubricates the joints. My old doctor used to swear by Centrum and recommended it to me, he took them and would recommend them. They were expensive however and not available on prescription. I eat a good varied diet so I get most of my vitamins from my food.

sounds great, my nails on my toes are hard as rock, my fingernails are brittle and always have been,

I've been taking vitamin E forever, it seems, but just this summer started taking biotin and like you, have noticed an improvement in my hair and nails.

I'm glad to hear that the vitamins are helping your nails and your eyebrows. I need to keep up with my vitamins. I know it is very good to take vitamins especially if we are not eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Keep taking them I'm sure you will probably notice more good results toward your health as well.

I think the vitamins that you tae, brand and dosage and all, are compatible with you. I tried to take Vitamin E for my skin and hair (I'm still in 20's so I believe the effects should be visible since I just want my lack-luster hair and dull skin to be healthier looking). It didn't work even after I switch to 2 other brands. As long as you do not experience any side effects, then I guess you should continue taking them.

Yes, I did the same. When dr. put me on 2 diff. vitimens a few months back.. I also noticed my nails grew faster, and my hair was really shinney. Have a great day there.

yes i've read about biotin and would really like to try them so i'm glad you say they worked for you. how long were you taking them before you noticed the improvement? i wonder if the brand is available here? sometimes i fantasize about tatooed eyebrows since i don't have the patience and pain tolerance to shave and pluck them. but i guess it would look weird having black eyebrows and a head of white hair when i'm 80.

I do think that taking good quality vitamins help me with my stamina and general health and well being. Don't have the issues that you have, but I do think that taking vitamins help with our health. We just don't get enough vitamins in our foods. Even though I eat fresh fruits and vegetables, I just think that vitamins give me that extra boost for my health. Glad to hear you are noticing improvements to your health. All the best to you.

i was doing it for a while because it made my hair grow better and thicker. im going to have to go back to it even tho im not eating much because it upsets my stomach. i do believe ive found out what it might be also. that upsets my stomache. its stress!
