What is the best vitamins to help hair grow stronger and longer faster?

What is the best vitamin out of vitamin B, vitamin B-3, Biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, Biotin and Niacin? I want my hair to grow longer. I have heaps of split ends and I haven’t used the straightner in 6 weeks and during that period of time I’ve had to have my hair trim 3 times. Any ideas which of the above vitamins would help the best?

A good healthy diet and plenty of fluids, especially water is the simplest and the best and most hassle free way to grow strong and long hair. Mind you can’t grow it any faster than it grows now no matter what you do. Follow a good diet and drink fluids and besides healthy hair you will get radiant skin to go with it.

What is the difference between vitamins and minerals?

Which vitamins are antioxidants?
Which vitamins are fat-soluble?
Which each of the following indicate the correct vitamin needed:
a. sunshine vitamin
b. beriberi
c. rickets
d. scurvy
6. What is the difference between complete and incomplete protein?
7. What percent of calories should come from fat in a healthy diet?
8. Nutrition Facts on most labels are based on a diet that contains what calories?
9. What mineral is most abundant in your body?
10. What other minerals and vitamins work with it to give you strong bones and teeth?
11. What mineral produces hemoglobin and prevents anemia?
12.What are trace minerals?
13. What colors are foods high in vitamin "A"?
15. What is the mineral most often linked with high blood pressure?
16. Give three other names for fiber
17. What type of gas do most leavening agents produce?
18. Is butter a plant or animal product?
19. Is oil heavier or lighter than water?

Getting to your main question, vitamins and minerals are different. Vitamins ("vita" = life and "amine" = containing nitrogen) are organic (containing carbon, which is an element found in all living things) compounds (containing atoms of one or more different elements). Minerals are pure inorganic elements (containing atoms of the same element), meaning they are much simpler in chemical form than vitamins. All vitamins are essential or required by our bodies, whereas only some minerals are essential nutrients. Vitamins are vulnerable to heat, light, and chemical agents, so cooking, food preparation, processing, and storage must be appropriate to preserve vitamins in food. Minerals, on the other hand, are more stable to food preparation, but mineral loss can occur when they are bound to other substances in foods (such as oxalates found in spinach and tea, and phytates found in legumes and grains), making them unavailable for the body to utilize.

Do suppliments such as licorice extract work in terms of whether or not the product is potent?

Is it healthy to take suppliments and vitamins from bottles sold in stores?

1. are supplements that you buy in stores potent or is a pill form of anything going to be as helpful as just eating garlic for example instead of taking a garlic tablet from a bottle, or taking vitamin C instead of an orange?
2. do most dietary supplements do anything for the body, such as multi vitamins, help the heart and protect cells?

Supplements as their name suggests are just very minor additional enhancements to your diet and health. Taking garlic is the same as eating a garlic pill, in fact garlic is better than garlic pill, as you say.

But, the thing is we never take the time to eat special items like orange or garlic.. If it were in the form of a tablet, the probability of you remembering to ingest it is more.. After you have a meal, you will definitely get reminded about the pill,.. So, consciously or unconsciously, the nourishment (supplementary nutrition) that you require has been provided, thats why we go to the doctor in the first place..

Multi vitamin tablets are also indirect contributors to the general improvement of our overall well-being.. More vitamins, healthier you are, lesser is the risk of heart and other problems..

Hope it helps
Regards

What suppliments should I be taking as a new vegetarian?

I’m a new vegetarian (about one week) , so what different vitamins and suppliments should I take? I’m a 14 year old girl, 5′7 , 100 pounds.

If you eat a balanced vegetarian diet you don’t need any suppliments, but a one-a-day vitamin will not kill you. This website, run by the Mayo Clinic and has a copy of the vegetarian food pyramid on it. Use it when planing your meals.

creatine monohydrate

Sounds to me that you are breathing in to hard and too often. People who run on cardio machines usually get that, and noticed some blood at times.
I forgot what it was called, but that could be something you are going through.
Take it easy.

what should be included in a survey about sports nutrition?

i need to crreate a survey for the athletic coaches on my college campus to see what they think would be the most helpful in regards to sports nutrition/counseling. things like supplements, meal patterns, etc. Any suggestions?

I have a suggestion. If you want the best survey results for sports nutrition, send your survey to the department of nutrition. Contact the department head first, and ask if you can send it out.

You wouldn’t send out a survey asking for an opinion of the top ten novels of the twentieth century to the department of electrical engineering, would you?

If you’re going to send out a survey to the coaches, ask them about coaching methods. How does being a disciplinarian affect coaching performance? What offenses by athletes deserve being thrown off the team? What is the role of praise in coaching?

Unfortunately, coaches are not experts in nutrition. If you surveyed both coaches and nutritionists about proper nutrition for optimal performance, which survey would you trust more?

P.S. Go to the English department for surveys about the top ten novels of the twentieth century.

Does anybody have any suggestions on a marketing angle of sports nutrition products at a fitness club?

I’ve recently started a sports nutrition company selling supplements out of a state of the art fitness club. I don’t want to be another statistic by having the company fold after one year in operation. Looking for ideas to increase the viability of this enterprise. Thanks for your time.
