All articlesSolgar vitamins for hair: composition analysis, instructions for use and reviews
Solgar has been producing premium 100% natural dietary supplements since 1947. Today the assortment includes more than 500 names of vitamins, minerals, medicinal plants, amino acids, probiotics, complexes and special products.
These are not my first vitamins Solgar, I also had Biotin, vitamin C and, of course, Omega-3 from this company, all these supplements are of very high quality and I noticed the result from their use on my body. Therefore, choosing vitamins for hair, I also chose Solgar, a complex: skin, nails, hair. It was this complex that was awarded the “Best Beauty Product” award several times.
I think everyone knows that every spring and fall, our hair needs additional nourishment from the inside to reduce off-season hair loss, strengthen it and improve overall condition. No matter how we look after the hair externally, without internal nourishment, we will not get healthy hair, because all the nutrients the hair receives along with the blood that goes to the hair roots, so it is important to eat right and drink extra vitamins for the hair, as well as improve blood circulation through sports.
Many nutrients cannot be produced in the body. Solgar Vitamins are formulated to produce collagen, the main component of skin, nails and hair that maintains youthfulness. Nutrients such as vitamin C and copper will help keep your hair, skin and nails healthy.
Composition of Solgar Skin Nails Hair Vitamins
From the manufacturer. The complex “Skin, Hair, Nails” is based on MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) - a source of organic sulfur, the main component of keratin (a building block of hair and nails), as well as collagen (the basis of the skin). The balanced composition allows the skin to give firmness, elasticity; protect from the harmful effects of UV rays; regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands; strengthen hair and nails.
In this complex, you will not find a composition with all vitamins and trace elements from A to Z, as in ordinary hair vitamins (where their list does not fit on the package). And believe me, if almost all of them are present in the composition of vitamins, then this is far from an indicator of the quality of the drug. For me, this is even better, because I usually drink the vitamins I need separately, and here in the composition there is only what is needed for the hair and skin to keep them healthy.
Let's take a closer look at the composition:
- MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) - 500 mg
- Red algae (L. corallioides) powder 75 mg
- Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) - 60 mg
- L-proline - 25 mg
- L-lysine (as lysine hydrochloride) - 25 mg
- Zinc citrate - 26.7 mg
- Copper glycinate - 11 mg
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) Is the main component of vitamins. This organosulfur compound with a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, which is found in some plants, is present in small amounts in various foods. Methylsulfonylmethane is widely used as a dietary supplement for the treatment and strengthening of joints and ligaments. MSM is very important for hair growth, as it increases the length of time the hair is in the growth phase, improves the nutrition of the hair follicles and prevents hair thinning, and has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and hair follicles.
Red algae (L. corallioides) - are a source of vegetable protein, B vitamins, calcium, iron, iodine, polysaccharides, unsaturated fatty acids and other useful substances. They are a kind of shield against external damaging factors. This component is very important for hair growth and health.
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) - participates in the synthesis of collagen, together with two main amino acids, L-lysine and L-proline, an antioxidant, strengthens the skin, accelerates its healing. And also ascorbic acid improves tissue microcirculation, that is, improves the nutrition of hair, nails and skin, strengthens the immune system.
L-proline - an important amino acid that is responsible for the synthesis of proteins that strengthen bones, joints, skin, nails and hair.
L-lysine (lysine hydrochloride) - an essential amino acid that is the basis for the formation of protein. It increases the volume and strength of muscles, improves memory, prevents the development of atherosclerosis, fights against herpetic manifestations and manifestations of osteoporosis, improves the structure of hair, nails and skin.
These two amino acids support collagen synthesis, affect the elasticity of elastin and collagen fibers, and in case of a lysine deficiency, the hair slows down and begins to fall out, therefore the amino acids in the complex replenish this amino acid deficiency.
Zinc citrate - participates in the renewal of skin cells and collagen synthesis, reduces sebum production, makes oily skin closer to normal type. Zinc promotes cell regeneration. Zinc citrate helps the skin, nails and hair to heal faster from damage. Often with hair loss, trichologists prescribe an additional intake of zinc.
Copper glycinate - participates in the formation of elastin, which affects the elasticity and firmness of the skin, serves to prevent the appearance of early gray hair. Copper facilitates the maturation of collagen in all structures that include it. And this is not only skin, nails and hair, but also the vascular wall. Good work of blood vessels improves the functions of all organs and systems of our body.
I have not yet met vitamins for hair with such a composition, each component is aimed at some specific action to improve the condition of hair and skin. If we briefly describe the effect of the composition of vitamins for hair, it is that the hair is very fond of high-quality, easily digestible protein and amino acids! This formula has a very good composition, so that the body can "build" new healthy hair, instead of old ones that have already fallen out.

Where to Buy Solgar Vitamins
Any Solgar drug can be purchased on the American website iherb.com, and can be ordered from almost any country. How exactly to place an order can be read on the Internet, there are step-by-step instructions, it is not at all difficult, the site is very accessible and practical. Delivery of the order up to 10 days.
Also, such vitamins can be bought at a pharmacy, but not all pharmacies sell them, and if they do, it is much more expensive than for iHerb. Therefore, I advise you to register on this site and order immediately from America, and not in a pharmacy or on the websites of our country, so you overpay several times.
Review of the preparation Solgar Skin Nails Hair
Package: a weighty dark glass jar, a beautiful laconic design, a convenient lid, all this inspires confidence. Although such packaging is inconvenient for transportation. I think perfectionists will appreciate this packaging.
Volume. There are two options for packaging vitamins, these are 120 tablets and 60. The minimum course (for prevention) is two months, so it is better to buy 120 tablets right away.
Result. And so, vitamins were bought to strengthen and improve the condition of hair, but side effects such as improved skin and nails were also welcomed. Why not?
Hair. Hair is my sore subject, and caring for them is a constant search for the best hair products (which I have never done or bought). My hair is thin, prone to oily content, does not differ in great density, it is below the shoulder blades and at the slightest malfunction in the body is prone to loss, even after a temperature of 37.2, my hair begins to fall. Therefore, every autumn, winter and spring, I reinforce them with vitamin complexes.
Taking Solgar vitamins, my hair loss remained within normal limits, I see new hairs all over my head and my fat content did not increase with the onset of cold weather and caps, and the general condition of my hair is excellent: there are practically no sections, volume, shine and elasticity of hair are present ... That's a lot for me! Hair growth has not changed much, but hair grows healthy and beautiful, which is good news.
I started drinking Solgar from mid-September and will finish drinking them in mid-November, along with Omega -3-6-9 (there will be a review about it in the next article), and then I will switch to biotin and vitamin C (from the same company) and will drink them all winter.
Leather. It normalizes the oily skin, I can say this with confidence, because I have lost the oily sheen, which appears especially when the heating season begins (I am sitting at work not far from the battery). And of course I hope that collagen improves the elasticity of my skin and wrinkles will not appear so quickly on my face))) But, no one canceled external care!
Nails I was always in good condition, so I can't say anything specific about them, as I did a manicure and painting with gel polish every three weeks, and I continue, my nails are strong, do not exfoliate and grow back as usual.
conclusions
In taking any vitamins, everything is very individual, for some they can give a tremendous effect, and for others - absolutely none. For me, the effect of these vitamins was everywhere - on the skin, hair and nails, everything improved)) But, wow, I did not have an effect, the hair did not branch in a month by 10 cm, the density did not increase several times, and the skin after thirty did not became like that of a baby ... Although I did not expect such an effect, because vitamins should maintain our body in good condition, including skin, hair, despite negative external factors and for a time that runs at a breakneck speed ... These vitamins will be included in the list which I will definitely buy again.
These are the best vitamins for hair that I have drunk, the result is really there, the hair becomes stronger, it grows new and, moreover, faster.
Good evening ! I read a lot of reviews about Solgar for hair, + at the pharmacy, Formatsevt also praised it very much, told how it helped her. My hair was very weakened and began to fall out, I think I’ll drink vitamins and regretted it very much.
1.was hard to swallow a huge pill
2.I didn't fit at all, every time I drink, after 5 minutes my gag reflex worked, I was thrown into a fever
3. vitamins are expensive.
Output; I had to go to the doctor and find out, to be examined why to get my hair out and drink what the attending physician prescribes and not what they advertise.
Good evening) thanks for sharing your experience.
Solgar vitamins are one of the most worthy and to see the result, you need to drink at least two months (if there is a problem of hair loss) and vitamins alone will not help cope with hair loss, an integrated approach is needed. For example, if you have an iron deficiency, you will not fill it with these vitamins, you need special iron preparations, which the doctor will prescribe, but you can also add Solgar vitamins to the iron preparations. That is, you need to find out first the cause of hair loss.
The fact that they are big, yes, they need to be washed down with a glass of water and always after breakfast, and not on an empty stomach.
It is a pity that they did not help you (
Good afternoon. I saw the effect of the vitamin first on my colleague, and later began to take it myself. I am immensely happy that they were so effective for me. Thickness, shine and elasticity appeared. The dragee was divided in half to make it easier to swallow. I took it only after eating.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Excellent! I don’t know about nails, but the skin immediately shone and even stopped using the cream, although I started drinking due to dry skin
Tell me, what are the orange spots on the pills?
Now I started taking it, because in the summer, hair began to fall out in clumps. I don’t even understand what it’s connected with. The skin and nails are normal, but what about the hair? .. I sin on rusty / brown hard water, which in the summer has deteriorated to a critical level.
It may be expensive, but I'll buy some more. There are no pharmacies in the city, I order via the Internet.
I also always order them via the Internet)
For the first time I ordered Solgar with iherb. I drank as it should be for a month, but alas, my hair did not fall out less. I don’t know what it’s connected with. And after 2 months she began to take Pantogar. It turned out to be more effective. Hair no longer climbs as before, and nails are noticeably stronger than steel and grow well.
Thanks for sharing your experience)
Pantogar is a remedy for joints, what does hair have to do with it. Don't write nonsense!
maybe Pantovigar?
Really good vitamins. I tried different ones and only from these I really saw the result for the better. My hair didn't get thicker, but the loss stopped.
Thank you for your feedback.
Good evening. Before resorting to treatment, it is necessary to do a biological analysis of the hair - the analysis will make it possible to understand what trace elements are missing in the body. Suppose I was shown a lack of chromium. Then you need to choose a treatment. if you just start using only chromium, this will not give you anything, you need to take the drug in a complex (selenium, B vitamins).
I really love these vitamins. I buy them every autumn !!! and the result is mega happy.
Well, their composition is not bad. I want to buy and try.
I look, in your photo of dietary supplement, tablets with pronounced splashes ... and my tablets are slightly speckled
Why is it interesting?
Where do you buy them? I have long wanted to try, after this review I decided :) I just read on a forum somewhere that all sorts of foreign inclusions are not buzzing, that it is better not to order these vitamins on the Internet, especially on sites that are not official, but pretend to be them. For that kind of money, I just don't want everything to come, as people write, crumbled or glued together. Yes, they seem to be in any pharmacy now - there are at least guarantees.
On iherb.com
They officially represent the Solgar brand.
I believe that you are doing the right thing, that you are afraid to order from online stores. I switched from such purchases to pharmacies during my pregnancy. The gynecologist advised me to drink Solgar iron and separately warned me to buy it at the pharmacy - no matter which one.Only they are authorized to sell dietary supplements of this brand in Russia and, accordingly, guarantee compliance with the conditions of transportation and storage. As for the complex "Skin, nails, hair", there are small blotches on the tablets, although they were almost invisible for me, not as bright as in the author's photo.
Oh, you know, Olesya, I have repeatedly come across the fact that our doctors and pharmacies seem to be in cahoots. Have you seen the prices in pharmacies? I compared yesterday. There is a jar of Solgar for hair, skin and nails 60 tablets for 1953 rubles, but I ordered exactly the same one for 701 rubles for iHerb! As you know, of course, but for me the choice is obvious. I rather don’t trust pharmacies, where they get what, but here specifically the goods from the states are coming.
I read the comments of people who order medicines on the Internet, of course, and am amazed. Just the same in the pharmacy it is clear where and what they take, there is strict quality control and certification, as well as the strictest observance of the rules of storage and transportation. And here you know how and where they bring you from? Well, what's the difference in price, 700 rubles is also money, you know. I personally don't want to throw them out for beaten and spoiled pills, which after our mail only have something to throw out.
I have been taking these vaunted vitamins for more than a month. Results-zero! Absolutely zero, both hair and skin, nails and so strong. I'm really sorry I ordered them!
tell me now I'm drinking hema plex, omega 3, ester C, biotin, so I want to connect this vitamin. because the hair grows terribly. can you combine all these vitamins together?
You already drink a lot. Hema Plex already has vitamin C, plus you drink esterS and it is still in Solgar. And there also the substances included in Solgar coincide with your Hema Plex. Why do you need so much vitamin C ??? In Hema Plex - 500% of the daily value and in EsterS 1667% !!!
Do not drink everything, but find out the cause of your hair loss with your doctor.
Can the tablet be split to make it easier to swallow?
You can, it doesn't matter.
