I am taking a GNC product called Ultra Nourish Hair which contains 1200 grams of biotin along with other vitamins, and the box says to take 2 pills a day. My question is, would this product help me alot to grow my hair longer, faster, and stronger? Please let me know if I’m using a good product or not!
I don’t have personal experience with Ultra Nourish Hair, so I can’t tell you for sure if this will help your hair grow stronger or faster, but there are plenty of online reviews that seem to be positive. Keep in mind that there are numerous products out there that claim to give the best hair growth results, so finding one that actually does what it says can feel like an impossible task. While I really have my doubts about many of the commercial products out there on the market making hair growth claims, Ultra Nourish does contain biotin in it (which has marginal value, if any, in people who are well nourished).
Please note that this product will not treat male pattern baldness (genetic hair loss), but aims to grow your existing hair faster.

Hi,
I don’t think the above response answers your question. If you are interested in reviews on Ultra-Nourish Hair vitamins by GNC, then go to google and type in “Ultra-Nourtish Hair reviews”, and you will find plenty. From my own experience, I can tell you that they definitely don’t hurt. They are just vitamins to help maintain and grow healthy hair. Some people feel it helps their hair grow a bit faster. However, what these vitamins Do Not do, is replace hair that is missing/gone due to patterned baldness. For that, you may want to consider medications. But please thoroughly review the SIDE EFFECTS of any medications you might consider for hair loss. Certain types of hair loss, such as Telogen effluvium will not get better from using medications or creams for hair loss. TE hair loss usually corrects itself in time. Also, if you do have hair loss and your not sure why, look at any medications you are currently taking. Though many meds do not list it in the ’side effects’ pamphlet (or list it as extremely rare), there is extensive documented history about people losing hair from taking a large variety of medications - such as anti-depressants, some anti-anxiety meds, etc. READ user reviews online about medications. There is a wealth of information out there from people who are on medications.
Lastly, try to eat healthy, exercise, and minimize stress through meditatino or whatever means workks for you. Stress, poor diet/exercise can absolutely contribute to poor hair health.
