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 |

Hi there. :) I'm taking Vitamin E, Calcium, and MSM. I also take a multivitmin for general well being. For me, Calcium really helps my hair out.  ------------- As fate would have it, my business is all about you. |

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. ------------- |

Thanks for that, but I've already bought them, so I may as well take them. I take evening primrose. Maybe when I finish the bottle of fish oil pills, I can use the money to buy something else instead....maybe spirulina pills. |

1000 mcg Biotin per day 1000 mg MSM per day I've been taking Biotin daily since Nov 04 and MSM daily since Jan 05 The amounts have gone up and down but were always low. I got at least 6 inches of growth last year but I don't know if these made that happen or not? We'll just see what happens this year. -------------
