Will my hair grow significantly?
Alright, so long story short, I needed my hair cut a certain way for a costume. However, my hairstylist is an idiot who tries to put a girly, chic edge on everything, and it came out waytooshort. One of my friends recommend I take five biotin pills a day, because she says it makes her hair grow two centimeters every few days.
I did a little research on biotin and vitamins that aid hair growth, and went out and stocked up. I bought biotin, B-complex, flax seed oil gels, beta-carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C tablets with bioflavonoids. I take one of each every morning. This equates to:
5000mcg biotin
500mg vitamin C
50mg B-complex
1000mg flax seed oil
25,000 IU beta-carotene
400 IU vitamin E
Basically, I want to know if I'll have any significant hair growth in 90 days. Before, I was just taking a children's multivitamin that had 48mcg of biotin, and my hair was growing at a faster-than-normal rate. Like, about four inches (more or less) in six months. My hair's always been strong and healthy and thick. I'm just worried that I'm wasting money on a bunch of vitamins that won't actually help my hair grow at all.
Supplement mixture, any dangers, warnings, or suggestions for better methods?
First off, I'll start by saying that I have Vitiligo, so Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and Folic Acid are a mixture I've been told that can help the conditions my body has trouble absorbing them. Never the less, I started taking these supplements which I'll list with their dosages. My question is in several parts because I don't know much about supplements. First, the mixture I will describe below, is it in any way dangers? Any warning you might have for me? Secondly, I know B12 is as difficult vitamin to absorb, especially for someone who likely has a hard time absorbing to begin with. Will taking a B12 lozenge work, or should I just jump right in and go for the shots? Thanks in advance for the help, and below is the list and dosages
1) Vitamin B12 Lozenge 1000 mcg (1 daily)
2) Lutein 6 mg (1 daily)
3) Folic Acid 800 mcg (2 daily)
4) Milk Thistle Extract 175 mg (2 daily)
5) Vitamin C Chewable 500 mg (2 daily)
6) Flax Seed Oil 1000 mg (2 daily)
7) Veggie Complete (2 daily) -no dosage given-
8) Fruit Complete (2 daily) -no dosage given-
Thanks!
Okay, Nate. So basically cut out the supplements, and go for the B12 shots.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Flax Bread
Additional contact methods: Twitter: twitter.com IM: Ask One of the questions I get quite often is how do you give up bread on the Atkins Diet, and my point is you don't have have to. I learned this bread from Book, my Atkins Diet Drill Sergeant about 4 years ago. It is perhaps more English Muffin than bread or bun tasting, but it is good tasting. It's tastes like a course ground wheat muffin, perfect for a sausage or egg. Book's Flax Bread: 1 TBS Butter 1 Large Egg 2 TBS Flax Meal (Golden Flax if possible) 1/2 tsp Baking Powder Soften butter. Mix all ingredients together. Microwave for 2 minutes. Makes 2 Servings.

Which multivitamins/supplements are truly necessary?
With so many choices for multivitamins and supplements out there, what exactly should I be looking for in a multivitamin or supplement? A friend told me that walmart brand multivitamins don't do anything because they don't put enough vitamins and minerals in there. Whats the difference between that and something that costs 3x as much at a health food or vitamin store? Are the expensive ones truly necessary, or is it ok to take something from walmart?
Also, which supplements are necessary? I take flax/fish/borage oil supplements every day in addition to my multivitamins. Ive also heard things about probiotics and digestive enzymes. Are those good to take as well? What types, or doesn't it matter? If anyone is a dietician who can specifically explain the difference in vitamins and supplements, that would be great!
