Vitamins for Hair Growth - Biotin & Others

9:04 AM

I pretty sure everyone from time to time goes through stress and not eating right. I know sometime my stress level goes up so fast and hard, that I tend to lost hair as a result. So as you guys know (if you been following) I was battling hair thinning after my first year of being sisterlocks. Now that my hair is growing back beautiful, I started to do some research on how stress affects the body. So one night I decided to search for the term "stress depletes what vitamin" and found wealth of information on that topic. All in all, stress deplete a good amount of vitamin B (which is good for hair, nails, and skin) and as well as Vitamin C (which is good for immune system, eye sight, and much more). Another interesting thing I found out about Alopecia (turn out I do have Alopecia) is that it’s a condition that is thought to be an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its own hair follicles and suppresses or stops hair growth. Say what? Interesting huh! I'm not saying that if you increase your Biotin and Vitamin C intake that you’re Alopecia will be cure but I wonder if there is way to prevent it from coming up in the future. Taking vitamin to cure hair loss or thinning maybe another myth, like using a ton of coco butter will stop stretch mark, but it doesn't hurt to try, and I think peace of mind is always a plus.

In conclusion: Please be advise that this is my opinion guys - I truly believe Biotin is restoring the B vitamins that is being lost as you go on with your daily level of stressful environment. Vitamin C is improving your immune system which help fights against virus etc.

GNC Biotin 2500 and One-A-Day Womens vitamin has done wonders for my hair. With both of these supplement combine, my hair is on the right path of growth, with hopefully no thinning what so ever.

Best investment you can make - Peace of Mind!

  1. I recently started taking biotin. I went to Whole Foods asked sales clerk for biotin – she gave me the highest potency (5mg). She told me to take it at night while my body is resting.

    I like your advice on previous posts to exercise to relive stress; I am going to start that.

  2. Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate it. Working out is a great way to relieve stress. Also whatever is stressing you, try to avoid it, and if you can't, the Biotin and the working out should help slow down the issue. Good luck!

  3. Some vitamins can be tough on the stomach, but these are great! I can take them on an empty stomach without a problem.
