Hi,

Which version of the "Hair Skin Nails" supplements from GNC are the ones everyone has been having good results with their hair/hair thinning/loss? I went to go order them and found 4 or 5 different versions, help??!!

1) GNC Women's Hair, Skin & Nails Formula
2) GNC WELLbeING® be-BEAUTIFUL™ Hair, Skin & Nails Formula
3) GNC Women's Hair, Skin & Nails Program
4) GNC Women's Hair, Skin & Nails Formula
5) Or Futurebiotics Advanced Woman's Formula Hair, Skin, & Nails

Which one is "the one" lol??!!  I have lost about 50% of the volume of my hair over the past 3 years or so, and am left with dry, damaged, brittle hair, lifeless. At first I thought it would eventually go away with regular trims and lots of care, but no...it is GROWING in that way!!! I used to have long, thick and naturally wavy hair, now it's gross like straw :-( I am so depressed about it, makes me feel so much older and unattractive, and I just got married 6 months ago! :-(  Although I have not been tested for thyroid issues(no medical) I'm certain that"s what it is.

Ok thanks for any help...and letting me vent!

I am having the same issues as everyone else, of course. My thyroid is kind of out of control with Hashimoto's so my medication is being jacked up and down which is making me nutty.

I looked into the GNC vitamins for hair and one of the ingredients is soybeans. I did not think we were suppose to consume soy so I am wondering if it is okay to take these.

LOL on the stress, I am guessing that is life.  They will work, and it will make hair grow in bald areas ( I had some on the temple ) and my hair grew longer than the usual half inch in 6 weeks, so in other words it was longer in 6 weeks, and I had realy fine hair to.  Finally my hair is growing when I could never get it past a certain length.  Just try a small bottle, you take two a day, but I split it up, noon and night.  I couldn't believe it worked, because nothing else would.

Thanks for the info!  I hope they work for me (and Luky too) as well as they did for you.  I'm a girl and I'd really like to stop the hair loss while I still have some left.  I've already cut back to washing my hair every other day and I stopped blow drying my hair at all several years ago, but obviously that's not enough. Stress is a little harder to control for me, probably everbody else, too.  Thanks again!

this is called "hair skin and nails" at GNC.  They smell awful, but what it does.  At first I got a small bottle to try, because I thought, yea right, this ain't gonna work.  But your hair is healthy from the inside out!  Go to there site online and it will show you what the bottle looks like.  I was hyper at first with Hashi's then Hypo, but my hair just wouldn't grow.  Also, try not to wash hair everyday, and when you do, let it dry mostly alone, then finish it off with dryer.  The less stress the better.  Sorry don't know if your a guy or girl, but that helps to.

I have thyroid problems, first hyper, then hypo, but my hair was never the same, I bought these, and I swear by them, they do work, my hair never looked and felt and GREW as healthy as it did.  Remember though to take vitamins at least 4 hours apart from your thyroid medication so it doesn't interfere.
