I`m not sure, see for the past 4 days I`ve been taking these vitamins and herbs meant to help out your hair growth/hair loss.
Biotin
Horsetail
Saw Palmetto (capsules AND liquid form)
Evening primarose oil
Iron( because of my low iron)
calcium
Centrum (liquid) multi vitamins
Omega-3 fatty acids
Flaxseed oil
would it be good to take MSM, silica too, folic acid, or Zinc and Copper too?
These are basically all the things I can find that would possibly help me with my hair loss and lack of hair growth..
But I need opinions so please respond!

 t`$,$ B$$ `a` &
You`re right about the fatty acids thing.. I realized this when i found out my Flaxseed oil actically had Omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids in it already!
Where can I find brewers yeast/ Would it be at GNC? or in just any old grocery store?
I went to go and find MSM today at the supermarket and they had none.. urgh they never have a good selection but I know CVS has MSM!
I Just added Zinc, Selenium, and Folic acid to my vitamin diet.
All of these I take only one tablet daily except for the biotin, and the liquid and capsule saw palmetto. The liquid vitamin I have also adds a tiny 2mg more of the iron I take, and calcium.
My horsetail supplment only has 2mg of silica in it.. the rest of it is just green horsetail. But I think you`re right, most of silicia you buy at stores (I went into GNC just the other day) have silica in the form of horsetail.. mine just.. doesn`t have enough. I also found out that if I took two horestail capsules instead of one (it`s 500mg of horsetail but only 2mg of silica) I get a strange reaction from the herb. One doesn`t hurt me but two.. urghh.. Headaches galore and it`s the scarey kind of headaches where you can feel your blood moving very slowly.
Thanks soooo much though.. I`ve asked other people and boards and they gave me no help at all.
I will try to find MSM and brewers yeast if I can. :)

Intead of getting one seperate vitamin B (folic acid) why don`t you buy a really good B-complex which has thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, PABA, pantothenic acid, inositol, choline, B-12, folic acid and also biotin.
I got mine at Walmart and it says Spring Vally and it says B-150 on the bottle. It contains all the B vitamins except for Inositol, and Choline. I`t also has 600 mcg of Brewers Yeast, Alfalfa powder, and other good things.

Wooohooo! This means good new for me then because I DEFINATELY see a difference in my nails! I`m not taking brewers yeast yet though.. :) It has been only about a week! Oh my goodness this is so greeeaaat! My nails used to be so britttle at the begining of the week they were really thin and all they`d do is crack and peel right off (they also had those layers that just chipped away) they don`t have that anymore! That worked really fast! Maybe my nails were in real need of it.
I`m excited! Tonight I`m going to go and find MSM and if I can brewers yeast in a B complex :)
You guys are wonderful! thanks so much!
