It took about 3 months of taking it daily until I noticed plenty of baby hairs growing & got the aforementioned compliment from my mother!

Vitamin d, b12, magnesium, multivitamin, zinc, coenzyme Q10. I'm anaemic but iron tablets don't suit me so tend to just complain about the anaemia instead.

AllLopsided · 07/06/2022 23:38

More for health, but
Multivitamin every other day
1g ascorbic acid powder
15mg zinc
7000 iu vit D every other day
Magnesium
Calcium
Krill oil (omega 3)
High dose vit B complex on the days I don't take the multivitamin
800mg chondroitin for end-stage arthritis
Used to take selenium but try to eat a few Brazil nuts instead!

I'm sure the best thing for my skin would be just to drink more water!

I only take high strength Vit D and biotin for hair and nails. I take Vit D every day of the year, even in the summer as I stay in Scotland.
Mr nails have vastly improved since taking biotin but still waiting on improvements to my hair.

DreamloverTealover · 08/06/2022 08:45

I'm wanting to take vitamins for my hair and considering Biotin but as above every time I've tried hair, skin and nails it's always my nails that grow so quick and strong but not my hair.

Vitamin D and Folic Acid (was a deficient in folate a few years back and made me very ill so I now take a low dose as a precaution).

Would you mind saying more about the folate Deficiency? I've got one at the moment and been prescribed 5mg folic acid daily .. how long did it take you to feel better? My fatigue has been awful, it's affected all areas of my life

Feel vitamins. My hair and nails are definitely looking better/stronger. No obvious diff to my skin. It's an all round multi vit so I'm not taking them purely for hair/skin/nails.

I was subscribed to them online but their website keep locking me out and the customer service was useless. So I've binned them off and will buy them from Holland & Barrett who now stock them.
