Prenatal vitamins are great for women between puberty and menopause... and even menopausal women in some cases.

My dr. suggest prenatals for me because I had a hard time swallowing the large multis...now i just buy adult gummy multis. As for the hair and nails, I take biotin and it has helped a lot. I did the slimfast 3-2-1 plan and my hair started falling out a lot because my body was in shock from lack of calories. After stopping that and eating normal food, it stopped, and the biotin has helped make it fuller and my nails stronger!
Also, I eat vita-tops, which is basically the top part of a muffin and it has a ton of vitamins in it, iron especially! You could look into those, they're a bit pricey, but delicious!!

Momma24, jello is NOT an urban legend, as gelatin is what makes your hair and nails grow- protein and collagen.. But jello is mostly made up of chemicals and the better sources of gelatin are the cow, pork and fish ones. but I know most North americans are not into aspic and pork knuckle as us Eastern Euros
i personally think it is delicious.

I take a slew of vitamins every day Do some research on vitamins, it is worth it. The female body is a strange thing and balance of hormones can be as important as balancing nutrition. Most pre-menopausal women are severely lacking folate and believe it or not, that can throw all of your hormones off balance and cause hair loss and weight gain. It seems like these things are downplayed for some reason, but weight is not the ONLY thing that can throw a woman's body off-kilter and it is NOT just important for pregnant women to get the vitamins they need. Finding a balance within your body can help a great deal in the way you feel, the energy that you have, your skin, your hair, your reproductive system, etc. A prenatal vitamin will have extra folic acid and iron, as opposed to a regular vitamin. It will not hurt you! A Folic Acid supplement can also do wonders and a B-complex supplement can really help balance everything. Women's vitamin needs are far different than men's. I have done a lot of research and reading about the balance of hormones and weight (I have PCOS too, so that is part of why I was so interested in researching these things) and the effect that they have on one another and the balance of vitamins that I take every day has made me feel 100% different in the last 5 months.

Prenatals may make you gain weight....if you are doing it for hair and nails take biotin instead. If you take GNC multi's you can get your dailys plus.
