What vitamins do you take?
Which do you think is having the most effect on your hair growth?
I'm taking a few now, and hope that I'll begin to see results at least by November of this year. Some of the vitamins I'm taking are for general health, some are for hair.
I'm taking:
A hair vitamin with lots of Biotin
Chlorophyll
Fish Oil
Evening Primrose Oil
Chromium
Silica
Kelp
Hawthorn Berries

I'm not totally one hundred percent sure on this... but I'm currently taking a nutrition class, and the dietitian teaching the course warned us that taking fish oil supplements really doesn't do anything for your body (never mind hair growth), and you should be able to obtain the same long chain fatty acids you desire from the fish oil with the evening primrose supplements... and she also wanted us to keep in mind that even though you're taking a supplement, oils still give 9 kcal/g regardless.
Sorry for the useless information! I'm applying it because I have an exam on it tomorrow.
And I don't take any vitamins or supplements, even though I probably should for health and hair reasons, but I just can't afford it.
