A good multivitamin that I can buy at a major retailer?
I am 15 years old and I think I may need some more iron, zinc, and other vitamins. My hair has been falling out easier and I have white spots on my fingernails. I've been to the doctor numerous times (except for the hair loss) since I am a complete hypochondriac and he always reassures me there is nothing wrong with me, even though I haven't been back since I started being able to pull out 1 or 2 strands of hair almost every time I run my fingers through it.
I know that eating a good diet is the best way to get vitamins and stuff, but that isn't always possible under my situation. I can't go to a "GNC" or whatever everyone else is talking about to get a good quality multivitamin so I would like to know if there are any ones that seem to work fairly well that I could buy from wal-mart or another major retailer. I have tried the equate one from wal-mart, but i've done some research and it apparently is not absorbed very well, so does anyone know of any better ones?
Help would be appreciated.

Centrum makes great multivitamins. They have special formulas – try the one made for women, it has extra iron in it.

the average joe loses about 100 hairs a day, you’re 15 not quite balding yet, the white flecks on your finger nails is probably due to lack of minerals Centrum is the best multivitamin and i think they have a formula specially designed for teenage boys but if not i’ve taken lil’ critters gummies and they’re really good as well don’t worry you’ll be fine oh yeah all that stuff is found at wal-mart ;)

year ago I suffered from hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss.
the things that really worked for me was:
1) Vitamin A – an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;
2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The ‘B’ vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;
3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;
4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);
5) also I used herbal treatment – TrichoZed
It is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!
It worked and still works for me!
I do not know if any pharmacies carry TrichoZed but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.trichozed.info/why.php
It enhances hair growth by blocking DHT (Dihydrotestostrone) – a major cause of hair loss!
good luck!
