So glad you are addressing this. I recently had issues with hair thinning and I was willing to do anything to get my hair volume back. However, it returned on its own. My derm thinks it was due to a stressful period in my life. So glad I did not waste a lot of money on vitamins for my hair that may have led to negative effects.
thanks for watching
Greetings Theresa Berg hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜….
@Whitney Brown You too! Thank you!!
Happy Tuesday friend xoxoxo
I have this problem too. Unfortunately it’s difficult to pin down what my stressor was because the hair shedding doesn’t start for around 3 months later. But it always bounces back!
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray and everyone ! I am so glad you are doing this . I always had baby fine hair and I will soon be 60 . You can see my scalp
especaiily since going salt and pepper . An older youtube I watched demonstrated a cosmetic product she uses to style her hair . I was thinking of doing hair vitamins since I see so many ads for them . As usual you are the BEST ! HAve a great day love to mom and Tybee xoxoxo
Happy Tuesday!
Greetings Mary Ann Gonzalez hope u r well n Happy Tuesday😀👍💜….
@Whitney Brown xoxo
I sooo miss that crazy fabulous Tybee.
I keep reading these sweet greetings to her mom and Tybee and feel left out of the loop. May I ask who is Tybee? Child, husband, stuffed plush toy?
Hi Dr Dray. I really appreciate that you provide the references for us. It’s very helpful for me, especially so I can cite my sources when I discuss these topics with friends and family. Thank you
I’ve been taking the Bondi Boost hair growth supplement. It works for me for sure, I’ve had no other change to my diet and my hair over the past year has grown the longest it’s ever been in my life. I’m 45 so I don’t have youth on my side for hair growth. I’ve also noticed considerable less hair loss in my brushes and in the shower. That aside, I’m now cautious about continuing and will definitely share the ingredients of the supplement with my GP. Long rich hair isn’t worth other possible side effects I don’t know about.
Thank you for addressing supplements and pregnancy/ nursing. I feel like this always gets kicked to the side.
This is so important! My sister was diagnosed with thyroid issues recently and her tests kept coming back all over the place. No one had asked her if she was taking supplements – turns out she was taking massive amounts of biotin and they were interfering with her tests!
On the flip side of that, I do have Hypothyroid and my doctor does ask what supplements I take and has suggested a Hair, Skin, and Nails supplement. We discovered I was deficient in B1 among others. If she is taking supplements, they should ask and she should tell. Biotin is commonly known to interfere with certain tests and I’m surprised her healthcare provider didn’t ask if she was taking any supplements. I have to stop mine a certain time before doing the regular thyroid panel. It doesn’t mean Biotin is bad. It just means there was a lack of communication from doctor and patient.
@czech👍🏻we should always be transparent with our healthcare providers.. even if they don’t ask, I mention it anyway
Same happened to me. I did my own research on biotin and thyroid tests.
I’m not even shocked.
I got blood work done and multiple doctors freaked out over some of my results. What happened? I was on birth control, birth control I disclose on ALL my paperwork.
Luckily I was going to the GYN a couple weeks later, I brought it up to him and he just sighed and went, “You’re fine. Of course you got these results, any woman on hormonal birth control will get these results, this is literally how they work.”
@Karen Obim Right. How can they know to ask one out of a million questions? They do tend to ask if you’re taking any supplements or if anything new has changed. That’s our opportunity to tell them. But like you said, even if they don’t ask, mention it anyway.
I had this talk with my GP today!
I’ve been taking biotin, and it has helped my crumbling, psoriatic nails and may have helped with thinning hair (simultaneity is not causality, but….)
I’ve stopped the biotin to check some blood work for another issue, then may or may not restart it – that will be the subject of another conversation with my doctor.
Since I do take a thyroid medication no one had ever said that biotin might make a difference in the blood test. I have always included what supplements I take along with the medication I am taking. My problem is my nails have a tendency to peel. I do a water class 3 days a week but I had some surgery done so I was out of the water but I really saw no different. This was a real eye opener! Thank you ! 😊

I understand the video and what dr. Dray is getting at. I got diagnosed with a chronic health condition and my hair started falling out immensely and was freaking me out because i was only 19 when it started. I take womens nutrapfol hair growth and I swear it stopped falling out. Ive taken breaks in between and notice it falling out. I just cant stop taking it.
Some supplements do help some people. I know it’s anecdotal but I can tell a difference when I take hair skin and vitamins and when I don’t. I don’t take them continuously I just take them when I feel like my diet is lacking the nutrients I need. I think as long as everyone informs their doctor of what they’re taking it shouldn’t be a problem
I have to take a natural dht blocker and it helps. My hair in one spot is finally growing back..
Happy Tuesday, Dr. Dray and Friends!🎊 Please, learn from me… Knowing I had strong genetic tendencies towards thinning hair, I spent over $700 on Nutrafol, chasing a dream. My hair was no thicker or luxurious on day 365 than it was on day one. When you’re 65 and both parents (as well as most aunts and uncle’s) have thinning hair, it’s time to buckle up buttercup and face the fact that you will be living with thinning hair. Key word here is LIVING!😄 Thanks for this excellent video!☮️💜
I was diagnosed after a scalp biopsy with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. My doctor recommended a number of treatments, to include, a hair supplement. The first was Nutrafol. Expensive, made me sick to my stomach and I broke out in hives. Turns out it has shellfish in the ingredients. The second supplement was Viviscal. Yep, broke out in hives for the same reason as Nutrafol. So I’m sticking with the topical 5% minoxidil as well as the iRestore low laser treatments. My hair fall is minimal and I am seeing regrowth of hair in my bald spots.
I also have AA and i take a natural dht blocker and minoxidil 5% and my hair is growing back after two months! I use Ixyay Research brand Finanutride
Dr Dray, you’ve read my mind :) I was shopping today and recently, I’ve been growing my nails, so I almost got tempted to pick up some NOT CHEAP supplement. Even though I’m a scientist, I sometimes get tempted by the flashy marketing 😩 Thanks for the quality content as ever :) You helped me so much with your videos and kind, but objective words! :)
I used to have brittle nails and can never grow them long. but after taking biotin 10,000mcg for a year I get to have long strong nails. and I also noticed that my hair grew really fast.
Oh holy crap! I was just looking to buying a HN&S supplement last night and almost did. I’m in my early 50’s and post menopause and my hair’s thinning and my skin is constantly over dry,but thank goodness your video was in my notifications today and I’m NOT going to make that mistake ❤❤ love you so much for looking out for us ❤️
Love your videos… they are always packed with lots of useful information and it’s nice to have someone looking out for the consumers versus trying to create products to sell to us!
Thanks for keeping us informed on those supplements. I appreciate how you take the time to look at the latest data on reputable studies. Something most of us wouldn’t do. I always look for 3rd party tested, also made and sourced in the U.S. ☺️
I’ve been taking that Nature’s Bounty HSN gummy. It’s definitely made a difference in my hair and nails. Maybe I was deficient in biotin and didn’t know. Either way, it’s working for me.
WOW! As always you give a no nonsense approach that is both thought provoking and educational. Great points to think about and encourage further study on what I take, what I think I want to take and what might interact with my asthma and allergy medications. Thank you for always giving useful points that improve my understanding that my health is made up as a whole. It’s not just in parts like skin/hair/nail as in this example and how my seemingly benign choices can effect my well being. Thanks for helping us all, you are so appreciated!!
Thank you so much for the video! Very informative. I am a family physician and have recently become a little more open to taking supplements. As you mentioned I think there can be a role for them. 3rd party testing is very important. This week I’ve had 2 patients with wacky TSH and sure enough they are on biotin!
Thanks Dr Dray for this straightforward, no-nonsense video! I’m the one who asked you on Instagram a few weeks ago about hair and skin supplements containing zinc and biotin – and I saw your answer to that as well – thanks! I’ve been thinking of buying a hair, skin, and nails supplement, and I feel that the beauty industry has this power of reminding us that we’re always “not good enough” and that they always have some miracle solution to it. Thanks for sharing all these important facts and points about the industry and about the ingredients so that we can carefully consider if it’s safe for us. I definitely agree that there is a place for supplements – and personally I do take one that manages a condition I have – but otherwise, it’s good to think twice if we really need certain supplements. Thanks for this really informative and helpful (and money-saving) video!
😂 vitamin overload can cuz issues as well
