What vitamin combination should I use for healthy hair and hair growth?

I am taking Nourish vitamins by Healthy Hair Plus (http://www.healthyhairplus.com).


These are taken twice a day and contain 40 mg Niacin, 400 mg folic acid, 6mg vitamin B-12, 600 mcg Botin, 92 mg Panthonenic acid, 30 mg chlorophyll, 100 mg iodine, 20 mg zinc oxide, 10 mg manganese gluconate, 30 mg PABA, and 4 mg of each of the essential amino acids.


I have been advised to take Biotin, which I bought in a bottle with 1,000 mcg in each vitamin capsule, and it says to take one per day.


I have also been advised to take a Vitamin-B Complex vitamin daily.


Someone said that prenatal vitamins are great for hair growth.


I take a multivitamin daily as well.


I have some vitamins from hairtopia (http://www.hairboutique.com), too, but I have replaced them with the vitamins from healthy hair plus.





I fear that I might be taking too many vitamins and I would like to know what would be the most beneficial combination for healthy hair!!!!!!What vitamin combination should I use for healthy hair and hair growth?
Good nutrition is vital to healthy hair growth, just as it's essential to overall good health. Although your body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain proper body functions, there are several that are specific to hair growth and health.


When starting a new vitamin regime, it usually takes from 2 to 3 months to see results in your hair's condition. That means that patience and consistency is very important. It's also important to check with your doctor before starting a vitamin program, especially if you have health concerns.

It's a wonder you don't rattle LOL.


Seriously though... Kelp Extract is good and it works, you can get it in tablet form from Healthspan www.healthspan.co.uk and calcium is also very good, you can get this in tablet form too.


I took Kelp for about a year and had to have my hair cut every 3-4 weeks !


Hope this helps in your quest for long, flowing hair.
