Now Foods, Biotin, 5000 mcg, 120 Veg Capsules

If you've been dealing with thinning or brittle hair, or thin fingernails that split and break easily, NOW Foods 5mg Biotin supplement may be a huge help to you. Biotin was discovered when scientists were looking for the cause and cure for a disease then known as "egg-white injury syndrome". One of this disease's primary clinical signs is hair loss (alopecia) and thin, brittle hair. They eventually deduced that raw egg whites contain a protein that irreversibly binds to biotin in food, gradually depleting the body's supply and eventually inducing a deficiency state which produces the symptoms of the disease.

Biotin has been studied ever since and turns out to be an interesting B vitamin that plays a few different roles in growth and metabolism. Today, biotin supplements like this one from NOW Foods are used for 2 main purposes. Most users take biotin to improve the growth and condition of hair and nails, with many people seeing great results. It's also on the growing list of nutrients that can help to stabilize blood sugar and levels, along with chromium, alpha lipoic acid and cinnamon. Multivitamins and B complex formulas contain many nutrients that are good for hair including 'some' biotin but typically not very much. So, keep taking your multi or B complex but use a separate biotin supplement if you're trying to grow thicker, more robust hair and nails. NOW Foods leads the industry for quality formulas, so their 5 mg biotin would be a great choice. Ideally, you'll give this 2-3 months to work, taking it as directed every day. Couple it with a good protein powder like NOW Whey Protein Isoalte and have a shake or two every day. Hair and nails grow slowly and from the roots out, so you'll have to be patient, but the combination of extra protein and biotin can make a big difference with consistent use.

Now Foods, Folic Acid with Vitamin B-12, 800 mcg, 250 Tablets

Folic Acid with Vitamin B-12 (800mcg) Overview

Folic Acid and B-12 are two B vitamins with an enormous role to play in health. Doctors and nutritionists often recommend or even prescribe both folic acid and B-12 for various types of blood disorders such anemias and high homocysteine levels. But healthy people use folic acid and vitamin B-12 too, since they're hard to get from diet and since they support so many critical structures and functions; cardiovascular health, brain health, mood, energy and more. And look at the inexpensive price, even for a top-shelf supplement brand like NOW Foods. You actually absorb folic acid from supplements better than you do from food and folic acid isn't that abundant in food to begin with. So make sure you get enough of these critical B vitamins. NOW Foods Folic Acid with Vitamin B-12 provides 800 mcg of folic acid and 25 mcg of B-12 per tablet.
