Nature Made Multi for Her Softgel
PROS
- Inexpensive
- Boosts imune system
CONS
- Not specifically made to target hair growth
A good basic multivitamin can go a long way in encouraging hair growth, says Dr. Friedler. That’s because multis contain your mane needs: biotin, vitamins C and D, zinc, and iron. This one from Nature Made is well-priced (just $0.22 per day!), is USP-verified for safety, and is in a soft gel form, making it easy to swallow.
One A Day Prenatal 1 Multivitamin
PROS

- Supports bone health
- No artificial sweeteners or corn syrup
CONS

Whether you’re pregnant or not (and even if you don’t intend to be!), your hair can benefit from a prenatal, says Suzanne Friedler, M.D., board-certified dermatologist with Advanced Dermatology PC and clinical instructor of dermatology at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in NYC. “A prenatal vitamin has the nutrients you need to support hair growth in high enough concentrations,” she says. Prenatals are specifically often packed with iron. “Many of my patients whose hair is thinning are missing iron,” she says. The beauty of this One A Day is that it contains biotin as well as iron—28 mg (156% of your daily need).
