Hi everyone, has anyone tried prenatal vitamins to help with hair loss ? Or just better to take the biotin vitamins?

Btw I tried to put this in the ladies room but it wouldn't let me thru my phone

I take both prenatal and biotin. My hair is really thin still, but it has made a difference in how fast my hair has grown back out.

I have been taking both Biotin and silica but added zinc to my supplements and the hair fall has REALLY slowed. New growth is now evident all over my head but the really comical thing is that it's dark and curly, as it was when I was a young woman (I'm 60 and 4 1/2 months post op).

@@maryannotginger - have you read that silica and zinc help with hair growth? This is the first I have read of that. Is it available in pill form or part of your Vitamin?

@@mykdzmom I did read quite extensively on both silica and zinc and my doctor said to give it a try as the hair loss was a little terrifying to me! Both are very inexpensive supplements and readily available on Amazon. In silica I use the bamboo form, not the horsetail. It is a fine powder in a soft capsule. The zinc is just in tablet form.

Neither of these gave me any side effects or tummy troubles. But my hair and nails have begun to grow like crazy. I haven't had fingernails since my last pregnancy 32 years ago!!

Do, of course, check with your doctor before deciding to take any supplements

Wow, I've never heard of this. I'm going to have to check it out. I've never had strong nails. They've always been very thin and peel. Thanks for the info.

I guess I will try and see what happens

@agalindo17 Be sure to check with your doctor. I did.
