Lately I've been very lazy so I've missed the last few weeks, but generally I take the following:
pre-natal vitamin
biotin
chlorella
MSM
folic acid
zinc
vitamin c
gelatin
and one or two others that I can't think of right now
Of course, many of these are for overall health, and not just my hair.

Just one. It's a liquid iron and vitamin supplement called Floradix. As well as iron, it has vitamin c, thiamin (vit b1), riboflavin (vit b2) and vitamins b6 & b12. I try to boost my vitamin intake and get other nutrients through food.

I used to take a cocktail of vits (about 6-7 tablets, iirc). However, it always felt like a chore because I was taking in so much, so I'd miss days or skip some vits. I was inconsistent.

I'm only taking the 5000mcg Biotin. Is that too much because I haven't seen anyone else that take that much? I'm going to go out and get the Super B-Complex though.
 
Within my first two weeks of working with children I managed to contract bronchial pneumonia. About two years ago I started doing the following daily and I haven't even gotten a sniffle:

For overall health/immunity:

Floradix (a liquid non-constipating iron+ supplement)
Swedish Bitters
Flaxseed oil
Ganoderma
Cod-liver oil
Noni Juice

All the supplements in liquid form I mix in when I make my green smoothies (kale; baby spinach; collard greens; romaine lettuce; parsley; carrots; beets; bananas; apples)


****************************************************************
Below is what I began taking end May '09

Specifically for Hair/Skin/Nails:

Nioxin
Biotin
Pre-natal vitamins

Almost everything is on hold though until I get back home from studying in Colorado this summer (I didn't want to schelp it all with me).

• Viviscal (x3; I read on the Viviscal website that you need to take an additional tablet if you’re a smoker in order for the supplement to be effective).
• Phytophanere x2
• Holland & Barrett Mega Vitamins for hair x3
• Flaxseed oil x1 (1000mg per tablet)
• and last but not least, Rich's Max strength OptiMSM x3 (1200mg per tablet)

The tablet's are medium sized and I would recommend all of them, so far I’m very happy :)

For overall health, to aid with PCOS symptoms & hopefully hair growth:
Vitamin E 1000IU*1/dy
Vitamin C with Rose Hips 500mcg*1/dy
Mega B Complex (every other day)
Womens One a Day Multi Vitamin*1/dy
Cod Liver Oil*1/dy
Omega 3-6-9 (once or twice per day)

Thinking of adding Chromium, Zinc and Evening Primrose (I have PCOS, so these may help me alot). Someone please tell me if this is way too much tabs to be taking and how should i take them. Right now i take them all in the morning. What's the best timing to take these.

Zero; I used to take them and then I decided I didn't need them. Turns out I right, my hair grows the same rate w/ or w/o them.
