Is there any possible way to make hair grow back faster?

Question by DC: Is there any possible way to make hair grow back faster?
Ive always had long hair and i just started college where i play soccer. We had to cut our hair really short and im trying to find a way to grow it back as fast as possible.. Any suggestions?


Best answer:

Answer by AngelaSD
There is a vitaimin supplement called - Hair, Skin, and Nails. It has all the necessary nutrients that are needed to help make your hair grow, and stay shiny, skin smooth and clear, and nails long and strong. If you plan on going to the health food store to buy them check out the label, and compare it to a regular multi vitamin, which also contains many nutrients that we need every day. I say this, because I use to take the H,S, N product, and I ran out, but still use a MV and my nails are longer than ever, and they have stayed stronger and longer for a longer amount of time.

Back to your hair... it is also good to know that your hair grows the fastest and most when we have more daylight hours. Which is now, during the summer! This should stay the same until probably October when it slows down for the shorter winter months.

Thanks for reading!

Is there anything that can be done for dark circles and puffy eyes?

Question by Dana C: Is there anything that can be done for dark circles and puffy eyes?
I've had this problem for awhile. I inherited it from my mother. It's not from allergies, or lack of sleep, or drugs, etc. I wear a very heavy concealer which helps a little bit, but it's still very noticeable. My mom got cosmetic surgery to correct hers, but I will probably not do that. Is there a product that works to reduce puffyness and dark circles? Thanks

Is there any vegtable, cosmetic, etc that makes skin stronger?

Question by Marc: Is there any vegtable, cosmetic, etc that makes skin stronger?
I ride bmx and I go to dirt jumps often. I'm 13 and was wonder if there is any vegtable, fruit, lotion, cosmetic, etc that makes skin stronger to resist cuts. I constantly fall, bail, case, etc and of tired getting scratched up. When I get any decent medium sized cuts and my parents see it they tell me not to go sometimes. I get hurt but thats part of riding. Thank you.


Best answer:

Answer by Kayla
Eating a healthy, well-rounded diet helps your skin. Maybe collagen creams that 'firm' your skin may help-but a little weird or out of place for your purposes. Really, keeping your body as healthy as possible is a great way for it. Maybe VD, VB's, and fish oil tablet supplements will help as well.

Good luck.

What does free form lysine mean and is there a good bioavailable lysine supplement on the market?

Question by Sweet Thang: What does free form lysine mean and is there a good bioavailable lysine supplement on the market?



Best answer:

Answer by Tracy M
"Free form" basically means that there are no additives that are a part of most supplements (coatings, colorings, etc.) It is meant for people that are allergic to such substances.

Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that it is essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, lysine must be obtained from food. Lysine is important for proper growth and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage.

You can find all sort of different free-from Lysine at various online stores. GNC has a lot of supplements that you can order on the internet, including free-from lysine.

Are there any stretch mark treatments that work?

Question by joseph terine: Are there any stretch mark treatments that work?
So I was wondering do any streachmark treatments [of any kind] work, or do they all just soften your skin to kind of fade the appearence a little bit.


Best answer:

Answer by Nicole Marie
that all sort of depends on what color they are.
usually you can try:
1) cocoa butter: lotions containing cocoa butter are rumored to not only help reduce stretch marks, but to help prevent them entirely. any cream or oil that is made specifically for the prevention or treatment of stretch marks will help keep your skin healthy and elastic.
2) vitamin A, E & C – supplementing these vitamins may help increase the strength and elasticity of the collagen within your skin and reducing your chance of forming stretch marks.
3) time – stretch marks, like all types of scarring fade over time
4) retin-A (tretinoin) – 0.1% tretinoin creams have been shown to significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks in a study published in the May 1996 Archives of Dermatology.
5) exfoliate daily – use a loofah or scrunchy to remove daily.
6) vick’s vapor rub – many people have reported success using vick’s vapor rub by applying it to a washcloth or paper towel and rubbing it forcefully into the scarred skin on a nightly basis for a few weeks.
7) increase circulation – by taking hot baths and massaging the areas regularly.
8) tanning – go sunbathing! tanning can diminish and even eliminate minor stretch marks.
9) vitamin E gel – break open vitamin E capsules and rub the oil into the skin over the stretch marks daily for 2 weeks.
10) stretch mark creams and lotions – using stretch mark creams and stretch mark lotions that heal and beautify your skin can reduce the appearance of stretch marks. the following ingredients are widely accepted as beneficial for this purpose:

* Cocoa butter
* Rose hip oil
* Emu oil
*Jojoba oil
* Castor oil
* Shea butter
*Vitamin A
* Vitamin E
* Vitamin C

Collagen production is reduced as we age. Is this inevitable or is there something you can so to prevent this.

Question by dee b: Collagen production is reduced as we age. Is this inevitable or is there something you can so to prevent this.
. . .like through health or diet?

I've heard that Coenzyme Q-10 can boost collagen production, but would you have to continue taking it indefinitely?


Best answer:

Answer by Michael P (MD)
It would have no effect.
Food supplements are not invented and marketed because they are effective (in which case they would also likely have side effects), but rather because most likely they are not, since they are abundantly present in the body anyway. Be smart, save your many, and don't worry about the collagen, I have not seen anyone die from lack of collagen (nor of coenzyme Q).
