I was just wondering if anyone`s hair actually grew quicker as a result of taking pre-natal vitamins. If so, how much, and did they make you eat more. If anyone has any info, please let me know. Thanks.

This is a common misconception: prenatal vitamins do NOT make your hair grow faster anymore than taking regular vitamins would. The hormonal changes during pregnancy sometimes make a woman`s hair grow faster. It has nothing to do with taking vitamins, which are simply taken to ensure a healthy mother and child. Here is a link to a site debunking this myth: http://www.hair-news.com/hair-grow-faster.shtml

ANY vitamin supplements (even Flintstone chewables) will help you overcome deficiencies, which is in turn can lead to healthier hair (and more importantly, a healthier YOU.) There is nothing special about pre-natal supplements.
Hope this helps! :-)
