Vitamins and minerals

Pharmacist's advice and education

For optimal results, always take vitamins and minerals with a meal, as fat-soluble vitamins (like vitamin D) and minerals (like zinc) are absorbed much better and do not cause stomach irritation. Hair growth and nail plate renewal require time, so continuity in supplementation of at least three months is recommended. Considering that hair and nails are made of proteins, adding collagen to your vitamin routine can bring incredible results. Read more about this in our expert guides:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do hair and nail supplements affect weight gain?
No, these supplements do not contain calories or hormones that affect weight or appetite, but exclusively and specifically feed hair follicles and the nail matrix.

2. When is the best time to take B complex vitamins?
B group vitamins are best taken in the morning hours, because they participate in converting food into energy, so they can keep you awake if you drink them late in the evening.
