“Do’s” and “Don’ts” for skin, hair and nail supplements

The ingredients in the “Do’s” section are helpful for strengthening brittle hair and nails and maintaining skin cell growth and turnover.

Because Vitamin A is so crucial in the maintenance and growth of skin cells, a plethora of Vitamin A supplements are on the market touting benefits for skin, hair, and nails.

CAUTION: MANY OF THESE SUPPLEMENTS CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE HAIR LOSS AND MAY LEAD TO OTHER, MORE SERIOUS SKIN DISORDERS.

For most people, a plant-based diet rich in red, orange, and leafy vegetables is ideal for obtaining Vitamin A. For some people-those who live in sunny climates, those with oily skin and people with chronic skin disorders such as folliculitis or Grover’s disease-Vitamin A supplementation may be helpful.
