So I know a lot of you take supplements for hair growth or atleast to prevent so much shedding. I was just wondering what do you take and how much of each? I went to GNC to look at some things and ummm...I'm pretty dumb and get overwhelmed easily, so I just left. Can anyone help meeee?

 ???

I take all the usual suspects including biotin and I'm cutting way back on that one (used to take 5000mg).

I like kelp but you have to not overdo because it could mess with thyroid function in excess, or lack thereof, just check it out before jumping in.

I do take MSM but not for hair. 

I agree on the choking hazard  ...g

I take multivitamin + Piimax complex that contains silica, calcium, acerola cherry and biotin. Might contain something else too, I just don't remember right now.

Is there any set amount I would need to take of Biotion or MSM to achieve the full potential of them? I already eat well, so this would just be a little bonus.

With MSM the main thing is to start on a low dose and gradually increase, otherwise you may get headaches or digestive problems.  It is, for most people, no problem, you simply back off when you start to get well, frankly, diarrhea.

With the B's it's a bit more complicated because everything works together and some block absorption of others.  You have to consider what you are getting in your diet, what your individual body may require and absorb.  Obviously it's not easy to determine all this, so usually starting with a balanced supplement and then reading all you can is a good idea.

On the benign vitamins or minerals you can experiment and see what happens.  Again, not so easy because it takes about three to six months to see the results, IF nothing else has changed.

There just is no easy answer... I'll look around and see if I find anything to link to that I think would be helpful - but Karen Shelton of the Hairboutique is a good source of information...g
