Can taking a wide variety of vitamins effect your urinary tract?

Yesterday, my friend began taking Multi-vitamins(2x a day), vitamin B-Complex, vitamin C (2x a day), and Echinacea. That night, she said her urine smelled a little like amonia. This morning, it's bothering her to urinate, as if she is developing a bladder infection. Can taking all of these cause this to happen? She drinks a lot of water, so it's kind of mind boggling.

What the heck is the difference between a vitamin and a pro-vitamin??

I happened to be looking at my shave cream, which said it was fortified with Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5.

What is the difference between a vitamin and a pro-vitamin?? Is a B-complex vitamin professional or something?? WTF??

Why is my hair falling out/breaking?

Ok so,
Over the past 2 months of so my usually very healthy hair has fallen apart. It's both falling out from the root and breaking like crazy. I have never colored my hair and rarely straighten it. I am taking a vitamin B complex vitamin and vegetal silica for healthy hair and skin. I even went as far as to buy nioxin, a shampoo for thinning hair which I use along with a deep conditioner.

I have a feeling this is linked with my move 22 hours away from home for college. I think I've been eating pretty healthy and I don't feel that stressed. I have, however, been sleeping a lot lot lot less that usual. Could that be the cause? Could the change in water have anything to do with it?

I'm not sure what to do anymore. It's really starting to freak me out. I have a doctors appointment but I couldn't get in till Dec 21 :/
Is there anything else I should be doing? Does anybody know why this might happening?
thanks.

weight loss: How quick should it come off?

I have made changes in my eating habits and was wondering how fast I should see the weight come off. I am 38 year old female. I have cut out pop/soda all together. I am not eating past 7:30 p.m. and watching what I eat. I am a very busy woman and eat on the go a lot. So I am trying not to eat fast food at all. If I do I try to make it a healthy choice. I also take Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and a B complex vitamin.

sublingual B-12 16,666 % of recommended daily value?

my question is can this be harmful? for a normal person to take this? a person that isnt on any medications or has any conditions or allergies?

i got a b complex vitamin with folic acid and i read about it and people with liver problems take it. i'm just wondering if more than recommended is generally safe to take?
the b complex being different than the sublingual B-12. i want to take the b complex and try that out before i try the sublingual if it's safe to use.
right now i'm taking a multivitamin theratrum complete.

in the past i have had problems with low energy and depression and i've heard deficiencies in b12 and folic acid can cause or negatively impact that. so increasing my b12 and folic acid could help that.
basically i know the recommended daily values for vitamin c are VERY low so is that case for these too?
i'm thinking of taking the b complex like 3 days a week while taking the multivitamin once a day. the absorption supposedly makes it safe.

of course some of it will be excreted but there's a reason people take them, the sublingual actually is taken by placing the pill under your tongue for increased absorption but im thinking that as a regular supplement i'll be getting the benefits from the b complex; if i'm taking it even only 3 times a week.

How long till I see hair growth results?

I've been doing a lot of online digging and I found a site Hairfinity. It seems to work, but just overpriced, and some suggestions were to just buy the vitamins that are in it separately.

I already take a Women's Multi Vitamin and I just ordered some Biotin and MSM.

If I take 2 5000mcg Biotin tablets, 1 1000mcg MSM tablet, and 1 multivitamin a day, how much hair growth can I expect in 2 months or so?
I also just ordered a B-Complex Vitamin, if I take that too, how much hair growth can I expect?

Can You Place a Vitamin B Complex pill Under the Tongue for Energy?

Ive been wondering about energy sprays for under the tongue, and just wanted to know if its possible to place a normal B complex vitamin under the tongue for the same or similar energy results.(not the sublingual). I know that things absorbed under the tongue make their way through the body/glands faster, but I'm not sure if it would be safe for a regular vitamin since it would be a different dosage.

Thanks in advance for any help!
