Should you take prenatal vitamins for hair growth? I heard that it gives you the same
luscious hair pregnant women have.
The pregnancy glow is over-rated, especially when offset by the repeated vomiting in the
morning.
I’m not pregnant.
Prenatal vitamins are designed to give you the extra nutrients the baby needs. If you
aren’t pregnant, you’re taking too much.
A lot of people take extra vitamins for their health.
Prenatal vitamins give you more iron than you need, which can lead to nausea and vomiting.
Then the prenates make you feel like you have morning sickness, without literally getting
a cute baby in the end.
The folate is good for your hair. Well, it helps your body make new cells.
It is essential for building new brain cells, which you really don’t need. Well, it helps.
You act as if the extra folate is bad.
Too much folate can cause nervous system problems. And he could have a heart attack if he sees
your prenatal vitamins.
I didn’t realize prenatal vitamins were that different from multi-vitamins.
You ought to take a multi-vitamin, but not the prenates.
I’ve heard that mutli-vitamins help you hair, and that they make no difference at
all.
Multi-vitamins help your hair if you have nutrient deficiencies. They make no difference
if you already get what you need.
What food does healthy hair need?
Protein is essential. Vitamins A, E and D are useful.
It’s interesting that the vitamin you get for free from the sun is what you need for
healthy hair, though too much sun makes your hair dry and brittle.
So wear a hat.
That defeats the purpose of getting healthy hair.
There are a lot of ways to get the nutrients, from walnuts to salmon. But don’t get any
hare-brained ideas and swipe someone else’s prenatal vitamins for a supposed beauty treatment.
