As I'm getting older. I'm seeing the importance more, and more for taking vitamins daily. I currently have four in rotation. sometimes I can take up to ten different supplements for various reasons from menstrual cycle to hair growth. Below I am going to give a very simple breakdown of the vitamins I take and why.
Prenatal: No, I'm not pregnant. This is my daily supplement.
B-12: For energy (I think all moms can use some extra energy)
Hair, Skin, Nails Supplement (Target Brand): To assist with hair growth
Biotin: To assist with hair growth
You defiantly should consult with a physician to see what supplements are a best fit for you. I would like to also note that I do not take the HSN supplements and the Prenatal vitamins at the same time. I usually take one when I wake up and the other when I goto sleep. You also want to make sure to not take any supplements on a empty stomach. I also only take my supplements with water.
How I take them (typically)
- With Breakfast: Parental Vitamins and Biotin
- With Dinner: Hair, Skin, and Nails (HSN)
- B-12: Typically early in the morning or in the afternoon. (This typically depends on the layout of my day.

I'm curious, I've heard biotin helps with hair growth, and want to try it. I too take b12.
ReplyDeleteI need to start taking B12. I take a one a day multivitamin so I think it has B12 in it. I'll have to check the bottle. I don't need a thing for hair growth. I have thick hair and it grows so fast.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are taking the supplements your body needs. I tried biotin once and lets just say I had to stop since i don't want to have to shave daily. lol
ReplyDeleteAhh the good old days of vitamins while pregnant. Best nails and hair ever. I don't take any now or atleast regularly like I should be.
ReplyDeleteI take a multi-vitamin, calcium with vitamin D, and Hair, Skin & Nails gummies vitamins from Nature's Bounty. I think that they all work together well to keep me healthy!

Those are the Vitamins I take everyday too. I am happy to see someone else loves taking it.
ReplyDeleteB12 for sure is the only supplement I like to take :)
ReplyDeleteI also take pre-natal vitamins (though am not pregnant), vitamin c and some vitamins for my hair and nail growth. All organic :)
ReplyDeleteI take b12 song with a calcium, magnesium and zinc vitamin. And every once in a while I take a tsp of black seed oil. Yulk!
ReplyDeleteI used to take biotin for my hair and it worked really well. Unfortunately, it made my skin breakout really bad so i had to stop taking it. Now I just take a women's daily multivitamin.
ReplyDeleteI've heard really great things about the B12 vitamin. I really should just on this bandwagon or at least eat more foods with these in them!
ReplyDeleteI take everything you takes excepts the prenatal vitamin. The Biotin makes my hair and nail grow like crazy.
ReplyDeleteI take vitamin D 1 a week and B12 shot once a month due to having Crohn's. I can say it does help.
