Vitamin Question

[donna12 742]

As I posted a couple of days ago I'm losing my hair, I'm 11 mos post op and take 3000 mcg's of Biotin, usually forget to take my multi, sorry but I do, I'm dificient in Vit D so I take 5000 units of that. My question is this: I've heard taking a pre-natal Vitamin is helpful, would this help with Hair loss as well or what all does this Vitamin have in it? I've never had kids and never have taken it so I don't know about prenatal Vitamins. Thx

They say if your low of Iron you will loose your hair. Prenatal Vitamins are packed with iron!

Yes, pre-natal viatamins might help. If you notice they help with your nails grow and nails are made up of keratin which is the same thing that your hair is made of. It will depend greatly though on why your losing your hair. I am a cosmetologist and there are several reason you can lose your hair. If your losing it evenly all over it could be stress or nutrition if your losing it in Patches it could be stress or alapecea (SP?) or something your Dr,. could diagnose . What we put in our body effects our skin, hair ,and nails along with other things of course. So the first thing is to try and get the nutrients from your diet then second would be from supplements, you could try a Vitamin especially for skin,nails, and hair. Good luck and have a great day.
