I haven't eaten in four days and am wondering if taking various vitamins would keep me from undergoing the side effects of malnutrition, such as hair loss, dizziness, heart problems, etc., whilenot gaining weight? I look gross and need to lose weight so will vitamins work on an empty stomach? Thanks!

Is it bad to take a lot of vitamins every day?
How many is too many? ha everywhere you read for any kind of problem, you see, take this or take that...i just read where i should take omega 3 fish oil for beginning arthritis and another vitamin to help with memory loss (or eat an apple a day, ha) and when you go into the store you see TONS of vitamins..plus i am taking biotin right now for hair loss..How do you know which ones you should take every day? and should a person take one maybe 3 months and then switch to a different vitamin? like a heart vitamin for 3 months and then a brain vitamin?? ha i am confused!
Why am I losing so much hair?
I am 22 years old and am losing alot of hair every day. I dont understand why it is happening... I had a son 16 months ago. I breastfed him for a year but my hair didnt start falling out until 6 months postpartum. I took prenatals while pregnant but stopped them at 3 months postpartum. My hair loss started scaring me when it hadnt slowed down around 9 months postpartum so I started taking prenatals and hair+skin+nail vitamins. It seemed to help a little. When my son turned a year old I started taking adderall xr for my adhd. I hadnt been on it for 4 years ( took it from age 8-17). Of course then I had to stop breastfeeding my son. The adderall helped greatly with my adhd but also decreased my appetite. I eat two servings of regular oatmeal (with raisins and a little honey) for breakfast, a sandwich made with cinamon raisin bread with honey+ nutella spread plus a few pieces of fruit and vegetables from from pre-made trays you get in the grocery store for lunch, and then greek yogurt with a little honey for dinner. I dont drink much during the day but its always just water. My son isnt much of an eater either so I dont eat unless he does. My hair started falling out greatly again shortly after starting the adderall. I stopped taking vitamins when I stopped breastfeeding my son. I just dont know what to do... its not like I can shove food down when Im not hungry. Also, about a month after starting the adderall, I started running 3 miles on a hiking trail with my 26-pound-son in a backpack hiking baby carrier about three days a week. Does anyone have any experience with what I am going through or any advice please help anyone. Thankyou
Alcohol has caused my hairloss, what vitamins should I take?!?
I have found out that I've had significant hair loss from alocohol, I drink about every weekend and sometimes here and there during the week. From the research I've done I learned that alcohol leads to a deficiency in iron, folic acid and zinc which help with hair growth. I have been taking zinc supplements and drinking Ensure, but are there any other minerals or vitamins that I should be taking since I drink. And if so should I take them after or before drinking. (I also know that it mind sound stupid, but please don't say stop drinking, I would appreciate any answers that would help, I am getting really worried, thank you
necessary vitamins???????
What are vitamins needed for hair loss? I've heard iron and folic acid but what else? Should I just take a multivitamin?
A good multivitamin that I can buy at a major retailer?
I am 15 years old and I think I may need some more iron, zinc, and other vitamins. My hair has been falling out easier and I have white spots on my fingernails. I've been to the doctor numerous times (except for the hair loss) since I am a complete hypochondriac and he always reassures me there is nothing wrong with me, even though I haven't been back since I started being able to pull out 1 or 2 strands of hair almost every time I run my fingers through it.
I know that eating a good diet is the best way to get vitamins and stuff, but that isn't always possible under my situation. I can't go to a "GNC" or whatever everyone else is talking about to get a good quality multivitamin so I would like to know if there are any ones that seem to work fairly well that I could buy from wal-mart or another major retailer. I have tried the equate one from wal-mart, but i've done some research and it apparently is not absorbed very well, so does anyone know of any better ones?
Help would be appreciated.
