Would is be safe for me to take two tablets daily of B-Complex?

Im taking Natures Bounty Super B-Complex with Folic Acid plus Vitamin C.

One tablet has:
Vitamin C - 180 mg
Thiamin - 100 mg
Riboflavin - 20 mg
Niacin - 25 mg
Vitamin B-6 - 5 mg
Folic Acid - 400 mcg
Vitamin B-12 - 30 mcg
Biotin - 45 mcg
Panthothenic Acid - 5.5 mg
Debittered Brewers Yeast - 100 mg

Will it be okay for me to take two tablets? Will anything bad happen? The reason I'm taking it is because I read these tablets promote hair growth.

After gastric bypass surgery, are powder vitamins necessary or is it possible to use capsules?

I'm about to have GB surgery in a few weeks and I bought a ton of powder vitamins but I don't understand how I can get a day supply of vitamins in my system if I'm only drinking two ounces at a time. I work for a premier vitamin company so I may be going overboard, but I currently take:

Daily Vitamin (equivalent of 5 capsules)
11,900 mcg Biotin (1/2 tsp)
1200 mg B12 (1/2 tsp)
4000 mg buffered Vitamin C (1 tsp)
1200 mg Calcium (equivalent of 6 capsules)
6000 IU Vitamin D (3 liquid drops)
20,000 IU Vitamin A (1 liquid drop)
1/2 oz Fish Oil (1 Tbsp)

I am REALLY hoping I can at least digest softgels as the liquid fish oil is GROSS...and it's the "tasteless flavoured" stuff...very good quality, though. I can deal with the powder if necessary, but they're pretty nasty and I'll have a hard time getting them all in my drinks.

Also, what vitamins do YOU take? Do you take them separately or do you drink a protein shake that has them all in there?

Thanks!

Longer hair, faster with Cabellina Shampoo & Conditioner?

I just bought this shampoo and conditioner, Cabellina for Mane, Tail & Body. When brought to the front, my hair is about 2 inches past my shoulders. When put to the back, it stops just where my bra is. I really want hair down to my waist. I have stopped straightening it, I wash it daily and let it air dry, I sleep with it in a head wrap, and I take fish oil, Iron, Biotin, And Vitamin B.

I have only been using Cabellina for the past two days. Will it help my hair grow?

And will the other things I am doing assist?

Please help, especially if you have used it too.
