I bought a gummie Multivitamin and a hair and nail gummie today. What other Vitamins do you guys recommend? I really don't want to lose my hair!

My doc has me taking b12, zink, vit c and my multiple Vitamins. Just remember to drink your 50-60 grams of Protein a day and you wont have thinning of your hair.

We lose hair all the time. All of us. It's part of life. It grows back and the process generally goes unnoticed.

During rapid weight loss, the hair regrowth simply slows. It'll speed back up once you level off.

You should take your multi-vitamin and whatever else your labs reveal you may be deficient in, because it is bad and unhealthy to be deficient in vitamins or minerals.

All the vitamins, minerals, and protein in the world will not stop you from losing hair, though. That's something that either happens (for most people) or doesn't (for a lucky few) after weight loss surgery. I think the most common opinion is that it is due to telogen effluvium.

I was told not to take gummi Vitamins and use regular chewables instead. Not sure why gummi vits are not recommended.
