Pre-natal vitamins

I have heard that taking pre-natal vitamins will make your hair thicker and your nails stronger. Any truth to this rumor? I have thinning hair and think I might go this route.

I have heard this too, but I couldn' t tell a difference when I took them. However, my nails are fairly strong. I do have friends that have taken them to streghten their nails, and they were thrilled with the results.

If nothing else, taking pre-natal vitamins should be good for your health. I need to get back to taking a daily vitamin.

My sister is pregnant and is taking pre-natal vitamins and her hair looks beautiful right now. It is growing pretty fast for her as well. She hasn't said anything about her nails but then again she goes and gets fills every couple weeks.

I am currently 5 months pregnant and take a pre-natal vitamin every day and the only thing I have noticed it that both my hair and my nails grow really really fast. I have to get it cut much more often when I am pregnant. My hair is really fine and it doesn't seem to be extra thick but I haven't been really paying attention either. I do know that after I shower and if I don't blow-dry it right away it is as flat as flat can be. My nails might be a little stronger they don't seem to break quite as easily.

I just had a baby in July. I got tons of comments on how gorgeous my hair was. Now that I've stopped taking my prenatal vitamins I think my hair has become stringy and hrd to manage. I may start taking them again. My nails were so weak and thin, but now thaey are very strong. Even after I have stopped taking my vitamins they have stayed beautiful and thick.

When I was pregnant and taking prenatal vitamins. I had really strong, thick nails. They grew very quickly too. I did not notice that it did anything different to my hair.

I must be true, prenatal vitamins are full of good essential vitamins, thats why we need to take them when we are pregnant. I think there is alot of vitamin B in there, not quite sure. But my hair got really thick to when I was on them.
