Want Long, Strong Nails, Hair and Glowing Skin? Look to Vitamins!
Hey, all of you gorgeous women, please listen up: As Total Beauty emphasizes again and again in various ways, we really ARE what we eat. Two weeks ago, my once-frail nails were so long that I actually pulled out nail clippers to shorten them so that I can type comfortably (I haven't done that in more than ten years). Today, they have regrown to their original long length and need to be trimmed once again. What do I do? I down potent B-Complex gummy vitamins after meals instead of high-calorie snacks. My sweet tooth is satisfied, and my nails, hair, and skin are nourished. Make sure your supplement contains Biotin in the formula for best results. Vitamin C can never be ignored nor underestimated. I once worked for twelve teaching physicians at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine. They did extensive follow-up work on Linus Pauling's original findings on the efficacy of this wonder vitamin. Vitamin C is nearly non-toxic. You can take up to 10,000 milligrams a day (I am NOT recommending this; do not try this at home, as some people may experience stomach/bowel discomfort), but any excess is naturally secreted. A glass of orange juice in the morning is NOT ENOUGH for optimal health and beauty (you will be spared from diseases like scurvy, but you are not truly "feeding" your body and your skin). Buy 1,000-milligram Vitamin C tablets and take after meals. Vitamin C stimulates the production of collagen, the element which gives skin its firmness and strength. It is an anti-oxidant which slows the rate of free-radical damage (these cause lines and wrinkles). I was born with a very weak blood vessel in my nose which caused it to bleed profusely through my young adulthood. My nose would bleed from the slightest touch or even exposure to dry air or heat. Doctors had no cure. My savvy parents gave me 3,000 milligrams of Vitamin C daily. I have not had a nosebleed since. A year ago, I was covered with bruises after riding roller coasters at an amusement park like crazy. An increase in my Vitamin C intake healed the bruising completely! Please, consult your physician first, but eat your way to beauty--and then purchase the rest as recommended on this amazing site!

Hey thanks for the detailed response. You've been one of my favorite bloggers for a while now so I always read your rants. Could you tell me how much Vitamin B your aiming to consume daily. I'd like add the vitamin B supplement to my already existent multi-vitamin supplement regime.

WELL, THANKS FOR SUCH VERY KIND WORDS! I'm sitting here laughing aloud--I DO "rant," I admit, but at least you're reading and that makes me quite happy. The recommended dosage of this Vitamin E is one gummy per day (after a meal). I take one after breakfast, one after lunch, and two after dinner. I don't want to advise you to commit vitamin overkill, but that's what keeps my hair and nails strong. If you seem to need a more potent supplement, check out the "Complete B Complex" at GNC. It has some added nutrients. I took that for awhile but switched to gummies because I enjoy them and the taste reminds me to take them. They're actually my "dessert." Since you've been such a sweetheart, I'll let you in on two more secrets which keep my skin in great shape: Check out Amazon for COQ10 and Hyaluronic Acid (I purchase each in the "Doctor's Best" brand). I take one of each after dinner. It occurred to me that more and more cosmetic companies are adding them to products. I did research; it's much more effective to ingest them to apply them topically. People think I'm fifteen years younger than I am. And I'm only 25 to begin with . . . (Right!)

I have a huge bottle of "L'il Critters Gummy Vites" multiple vitamins (available on Amazon; I take more than the recommended dosage because they are for children). For B Vitamins, I enjoy "Vitafusion B Complex Gummy Vitamins" (also found on Amazon). I take "Rainbow Light Super C--1,000-mg. regular tablets (Amazon again). So glad you noticed my rant on vitamins. I just had to cut my nails again and my hair is now growing like wildfire. I wish you great luck if you choose to take them! Please let me know if need any more information. And thanks for asking!

I always use the <a href="http://www.karinherzog.com/de/">Sauerstoff Kosmetik</a> products to get a glowing skin as it is rich in oxygen content.

I've heard a lot about this line, so I checked it out and studied it. The items look AMAZING! Thanks much for the tip!

You are SO welcome--I hope they work as well for you as they have for me. I had to cut my nails yet again. I love the way they look, but I can't type when they get too long. My pleasure!

I try to stay away from Vitamins intake as I put weight lately because of them.
