futurebiotics hairskinandnails mentioned by crownofhisglory and a few others. A little more than half way through I saw hair growth and my nails are always about a lil over an inch but they grow back faster now. My second bottle just got here they have a customer for life. I only take 2 on most days. For my multi I take nature's secret women's 37 I think it's called. The first keeps me focused it seems and the second helps me relax and sleep. I like them better than life's fortune or one a day. I also like that they have superfoods, primrose oil, and omega 3 
most vitamins lack those.

At this point in time, I take a multivitamin and cod liver fish oil for overall health. I drink MSM powder in juice and take biotin tablets specifically for my hair, but I know they have bodily advantages, too.
I only started in January (when the vitamins challenge began) so I want to wait a month before saying the latter does or does not work. If I add anything, it would be silica.
I have noticed growth, but not past my usual. However, I have rarely been without a multivit and something for my hair since my HHJ began. So far it seems the only time they are not helping me maximise my growing potential is when I am very stressed out. I do not believe they are making me grow more than I normally would IF I were doing everything right in order to grow hair, which is to say I may not be getting phenomenal results, but I know I am not perfect and I like the boost they give to make up for what I get wrong.

Origin Zinc - x1
Origin Evening Primrose Oil - x1
Spring Valley Flaxseed Oil - x1
I want to add Biotin but I'm afraid of the breakout that might occur.
I also want to add Chlorella and Spirulina but I think I might be overloading.. What do you think?

Zerooooooooo!!!!!
I stop taking all my supplements 5 months ago. Unfortunately for me, supplements have no effect on my hair or nails. And it change my skin for the worst, I developement ance and i never had ance problem in the past. Since I stopped. My nails are growing better and I feel better. My smooth skin is back. I was trying to fix something that was not broken. I have to live with the fact that my hair is fine 4A.

I dropped the hair multivitamin and the biotin. Now its just Omega 3, MSM and a multivitamin faithfully. B complex, magnesium, and potassium for other things, not as frequent.

I take six regularly, three in the morning, and three in the afternoon. When I'm menstruating I add an extra iron supplement to the mix (aside from my multi-vitamin with iron) because I'm anemic, and it worsens at around that time.
Multi-vitamin w/iron- 1 capsule per day
Biotin- One 1mg capsule per day
Fish Oil- 1 softgel per day
MSM- One 500mg tablet per day
Basic B-complex-One per day. It provides 100% of the RDA for B-vitamins, excluding Biotin
Vitamin C- 1/4th a tablet per day (the dosage is kinda high, so I break it down).
I've been told the bolded supplements help with hair growth, but fish oil does so indirectly. I try to make sure I take lower dosages now. Super dosages of supplements (especially the "B" vitamins) seem to make me feel sick at times.

1. Chewable Multivitamin with iron daily
2. B-complex 150...when I remember...When I was working 2 jobs this helped with energy boosting a little.....now it makes me a lil nauseous so I took a break from these.
3. C & E (not daily)...I have a fluid-filled cyst in my breast aggravating me and my surgeon recommended vit E...which helped reduce its size and thus the pain....
4. 2000-4000 IU of vitamin D...I get them in liquid form...each drop has 1000 IU...I try to get about 5000 IU or more a week. Cause I forget most days. But we're all deficient and should be supplementing.....per recent research studies.
I eat enough protein since I exercise...I do Boost (high protein from time to time) or eat more protein foods based on my muscle recovery needs
I don't take fish oil supplements because I eat fish an average of 2-4 times a week. When hubby and I decide to have a baby I'll drop it down to less than 2 times/week. Plus I don't trust them because the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is not always trustworthy or pure...
As a Nutritionist I try to eat a balanced diet...I get all food groups daily in proper portions as much as possible.....
I don't take anything with the purpose of growing my hair faster since thats genetically determined....
I used to have low iron but I drink 2-4 oz of 100% Juice (for the vitamin C) with an iron rich food such as any meat, legumes or green vegetable which allows me to absorb MORE iron than usual.....I haven't had to supplement with iron in about 7 years after doing this consistently.....once again..it comes down to a balanced diet...Vitamin C increases Iron absorption....

Okay....Let me put my Nutritionist/Adjunct Professor Hat on...
I think some of you all are overdoing it...remember:
Water Soluble Vitamins (B's and C's) are excreted in excess very fast...thats Y your pee looks highlighter yellow in color! (B's--> Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, B6, B12, Folic Acid, Thiamin, Niacin, Riboflavin)...and Vitamin C (also known as Ascorbic Acid)
Fat Soluble Vitamins sits a little longer...not overly needed in large quantities (A, D, E, K)...well except Vitamin D we now know....I suggest you all (especially if Pregnant or Breastfeeding) take Vitamin D...
Now...If you're taking a Prenatal or Multivitamin....there is no need to take any extra: Folic Acid
Vitamin C...this can be dangerous in excess
Iron...(extra of this stuff makes the stools green and cause constipation)...unless you have been prescribed extra iron (aka ferrous sulphate) due to anemia for example or your doc says so.....
The jury is up on MSM, extra Biotin, B6, extra B12 (unless your elderly), etc, etc on hair growth....the results are inconclusive...truly.....
Thats just my humble opinion.....I used to think you could do your best to eat a good balanced diet and no vitamin is needed...I don't think that anymore for some nutrients...however....for others...you can certainly overdo it to the point where its not harmful...but a waste time and money wise....
Herbs?other supplements........(Spirulina, chollera, etc) you're on your own....be careful too...these and all vitamins and minerals are active compounds that can have an effect on any meds you may be on!
