For my thin never ending falling hair

@Hurrah54 it might be better off for them to use N-acetyl cysteine NAC instead for amino acid?

 

[Woolmercardington]

Does anyone know how long you should take magnesium for? Is it recommended to only take for a limited time?

 

[Kombucha]

Vitamin D
Omega 3 fish oil
Hairburst hair gummies and wow they actually work!

Can you share those hairbust hair gummies? please please

Can anyone recommend anything natural / vitamins for anxiety?

St John’s Wart is supposed to be good and bach rescue remedy

Multivitamin with iron - I usually get from Holland and Barrett but savers do them quite cheap. No idea if they are helpful but I take them anyway

I'm pretty sure the collagen supplements are a bit of a scam
Collagen is a protein so surely when you digest it, it's broken down into its amino acids components like any other protein and they're taken up, or excreted if they're in excess.
I can only think they 'work' because if your body is making a protein and a specific amino acid is limited, that protein cannot be made by the body. Perhaps the collagen supplements provide amino acids which your body lacks through a normal diet...

I'm just trying to say I think they use the word 'collagen' because it's associated with good skin so they charge more, but it's not directly increasing your collagen production etc.

.. if it's helping then fair enough

I take primrose oil with b6 and vitamin d and omega 3 when i remember

I think it is good to be skeptical about all the supplements. I might move towards a multivitamin supplement to save money and have to take less individual supplements. I guess you can experiment - a lot of people seem to see differences in their bodies after taking collagen.

I also don't like to take supplements every day. I mix them up. I generally take 2-3 supplements daily at the moment (out of my 5).

I take a multivitamin and vitamin C.
I need to find a chewable version (can’t swallow tablets) of b12 and iron though. Can anyone suggest anywhere that sells those?

i recently bought chewable b12 from aldi, so have a look in there!

i only take vitamin d and b12 atm as I am transitioning to become fully vegan soon. When I am, I'm just going to take the Holland and Barret vegan multiviatmins as I would struggle with taking tons of tablets.

My favourite is womens best true beauty (mango flavour). I only buy it when it is on offer. I also like Bulk Vanilla collagen too, usually a discount code for that flying around (I put this in my coffee). Both Powders.

Thanks for reply! Do you find it made a real difference, not just to your skin, but hair nails etc? Do you usually get off Amazon or direct from manufacturer? What made you choose these, recommendation? So many choices and so many conflicting reviews out there

 

[ispywithmylittleeye59]

Iron and B12 as I’ve always been deficient in both!
Cod liver oil with added Vit D
Hair skin and nails - any brand, never know if it actually makes a difference or not

[GracieGo.]

I take.
Vitamin D
Vitamin C with Zinc.
Vitamin B complex.

 

[Woolmercardington]

Magnesium, vit d, turmeric, marine collagen, evening primrose oil, B complex

Do you take them for specific reasons/benefits? I take vit d & c six months of the year but am also looking into the B complex.

 

[Libbylulu]

I’ve taken ashwaganda. It’s brilliant for insomnia but makes me feel very groggy the following day. I’ve tried reducing the dose but I just feel spaced out

 

[LyraBalaqua]

I take Biotin and a menopause supplement as I don’t take HRT.

 

[Paradisefalls]

I have a Berocca with MSM sulphur powder, and take Vit D, high strength Vit C, zinc, magnesium, probiotic (never get stomach bugs) and dessicated liver tablet which is high in iron, Vit A and K.

do you mind me asking what probiotic you take?

 

[TheDragonWithAFlagon]

I drink a Berocca when I remember it.

Had very low Vitamin D, even 60,000 IUs didn't do much the first time round, rejigged the diet, took them again, started on the Berocca when they ran out + actually getting some daylight and exercise and I think it's finally made a difference. I might be more conscientious come Autumn, though, usually around the time I start having elderberry in hot drinks.

 

[Libbylulu]

Magnesium, vit d, turmeric, marine collagen, evening primrose oil, B complex

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Vit D
Vit B-100
Iron
Magnesium (headaches)
L-tyrosine (amino acid to help with trichotillomania impulses)
Viviscal (hair growth supplement, also to help with trichotillomania as I currently have v sparse eyebrows)

St John’s Wart is supposed to be good and bach rescue remedy

Thanks I had looked into that and it seems like it’s quiet strong so I’m a bit dubious of taking it. I think I have also heard of one called ashwagandha, has anyone tried that?
