15 best vitamins for hair and nails

Thick, shiny hair and perfect manicure are the first signs by which you can see that the girl is paying enough attention to her appearance. Alas, sometimes it happens that the nails suddenly begin to exfoliate and break so that you have to forget about the manicure for a long time. Even worse, when the hair begins to literally “pour in”.

The causes of hair loss are numerous, in general, they can be divided into 2 large groups: malnutrition of the hair bulb and damage to the scalp. Group 2 includes such states as dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis: sometimes it is enough to cure the fungus causing it to forget about the “hair fall” for a long time. To the first - hormonal imbalance, changes in the nervous regulation caused by stress or fatigue, vitamin deficiency. As for nails, nutrient deficiencies come to the fore: brittle nails can be the first sign of anemia or calcium deficiency.

It is about vitamins for hair and nails that we want to tell in this ranking. It should be noted that there are no separate vitamins "for growth" or "from hair loss". The substances that improve the nutrition of the hair follicles accelerate hair growth. They also reduce the loss. Since the condition of hair and nails is inseparable from the state of the skin, often vitamin complexes combine according to the principle of "skin, hair, nails". In addition to vitamins, they often contain minerals, such as iron (women are prone to anemia stronger than men because of physiological rhythms), sulfur (an essential element in the composition of keratin - hair and nail protein), silicon (another mineral essential for protein structure).

It’s not worth waiting for an instant effect from any vitamin complex for hair and nails: as already mentioned, both nails and hair are “dead” fabric. The growing part of the nail will be strengthened. Considering that the average growth rate of nails is 2 mm per week, it is not difficult to calculate when the nails “harden”. The same applies to the hair: wait until the appeared "undercoat" will have no less than a month, and the decrease in the number of hair on the comb will be noticeable no sooner than after 2 weeks.

The best vitamin and mineral complexes for hair and nails

In this group of rating, we combined traditional pharmacy vitamin-mineral complexes. They do not differ either in the “naturalness” of the composition (the opinion that the synthesized vitamins are worse assimilated, is not clinically confirmed, but everyone has the right to prejudice), neither the lack of dyes, nor the “vegan” orientation. These are just good vitamin-mineral complexes that honestly do their job.

3 Yeast beer Nagipol 1

Autolysate beer yeast is a substance that is obtained as a result of self-digestion (autolysis) of yeast cells. Thus, unlike the classic Soviet formula, the preparation does not include yeast fungi themselves, but extremely beneficial substances containing them. Fears of recovering from taking the drug, which some women express, are completely groundless: the amino acids, vitamins and microelements themselves do not stimulate appetite.

Top Vitamins for Premium Hair Loss

3 Evalar

"Evalar" decided to keep up with world trends and released the domestic analogue of the hair loss remedy Solgar. In fact, if you look at the qualitative composition, cystine (a stable form of cysteine) is found in domestic vitamins instead of proline, and lacks silicon.But there is a fucus pimply, designed to provide the body with a complex of trace elements. The rest is the same: MSM, vitamin C, zinc and copper. It’s impossible to compare the quantitative ratios of the components: if the American manufacturers honestly indicated the entire composition, then Evalar combined MSM and amino acids into a kind of “biocomplex”, and they were too shy to indicate the amount of fucus extract (trade secret?). But, given the difference in price, the product takes its place in the ranking.

2 Pantovigar

This tool is for those who do not trust domestic manufacturers, preferring German quality. In addition to the brewer's yeast itself, para-aminobenzoic acid, which is involved in the synthesis of vitamin B9, cystine, which is necessary for the synthesis of keratin and keratin itself (to admit, it makes little sense to include keratin in the gastrointestinal tract).

On the basis of merit, Pantovigar in our ranking as the best foreign remedy based on brewer's yeast.
