Mama asked:


I know there are many foods and/or vitamin supplements that can be taken for hair “health”, but what is the one “super” vitamin (supplement) that really does the trick?

Is it vitamin E? Vitamin B? Omega fats?

Thanks in advance

I’m 14 and pretty healthy and I was wondering if all the vitamins i’m taking are really neccesary and if it’s bad to take them all at the same time. I take vitamin E, a multivitamin, vitamin D, and calcium and i’m soon going to start taking omega 3. Should I take them all at different times? and I also heard that taking vitamins can sometimes be bad for you?
Can the minocycline pill (for acne) really stop you from absorbing calcium? I heard that aswell? Are there any books I can get on vitamins?

I’m probably not getting enough nutrients from my low-cal diet, although I do take a multivitamin every night.

So recently my hair has been falling out in handfulls, which is most definitely not normal even for me.

Will taking a vitamin E supplement, plus my multivitamin daily, prevent further hair loss… or will the extra vitamin E just get turned into fat?

I’ve been on a more hollistic kick lately and was wondering what homeopathic/nutritional/dietary supplements out there are held in high esteem?

Currently, I am consuming:
Gingko Biloba
Royal Jelly
Vitamin E
Valerian Root
St. Johns Wort
Multi-Vitamin
2-3 cups of Green Tea
Occasional Damiana Leaf (smoked or made as tea)
Fish Oil Concentrate

Other regimes:
Hatha yoga, 2-3x a week for an hour

Any other recommendations? My goal is to get my body to its optimal function and to be an all-around healthier and more lively person.

I bought these Spring Valley One-per-day omega 3 fish oil dietary supplement. It says that it has been verified by the US Pharmacopoeia if that makes a difference. Oh, and will this help improve my skin? Oh and I don’t like the taste of fish so eating fish isn’t really an option. Also, what are the benefits of vitamin E skin oil?

During which part of the day is it best to take my vitamin supplements?

I am taking four supplements: multivitamins, ferrous sulfate, ascorbic acid, and vitamin E. May I take them all at the same time or should I take them at different schedules or with a specific period interval? In-depth explanations would be highly appreciated. :)

Marianne asked:


I take two types of supplements daily- teen A-Z and evening primrose oil. However, looking at the label, I can see that they both contain 100% RDA of vitamin e. Is it ok to be taking 200% of the rda daily? Should I just take one type of the pills, or alternate days or something?
