Off-Label Prenatal Vitamin Uses

On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend prenatal vitamins for something other than the conditions discussed in this article. People often wonder if taking prenatal vitamins may be helpful for hair growth.

There is no evidence that prenatal vitamins help with hair growth (or that they would be any better than a regular multivitamin for this use).
