    Thanks Bio! I was thinking I needed to grab some B vitamins. And I'll have to check the calcium/magnesium values in the vitamins I normally take...

                  My hair is already really think and I haven't noticed anything different with my skin, but my nails are so white! They're not the best looking, because they aren't manicured or even the same lengths, but everyone comments on how healthy they look!

                    SG, we probably take similar supplements, but I probably take them at higher dosages than most of you folks. For example, on the B-vitamins, I do take a B-complex but it's during lunch. In the morning & evening, I take each individual B vitamin separately. The daily totals of individual B supplements are the following: pantethine 1200 mg, choline 1500 mg, inositol 2000 mg, biotin 12 mg, inositol hxanicotinate (niacin) 1500 mg, pantothenic acid 1000 mg, cobalamin 2000 mg, folic acid 5 grams, and B6 500 mg. I take a wide variety of other supplements, too, but most of mine are for therapeudic reasons. Hope that helps???

                        So you think it's the extra B that makes for thick hair? I am so vitamined out, I need a bigger pill box.

                        DS is trying to lose a little weight and build muscle. He and his pals shared some bottles of supplements and he was complaining about having to take 3 horse pills last night!

                          I've always had super-thick hair, so I haven't noticed it getting any thicker, but I HAVE noticed that it's shinier and silkier than ever before! Thank you, B-vitamins. Oh, and a diet with lots of good fats probably helps that out, too...

                            SG, I'm not certain, but something is helping me out. I used to have really thick hair and one morning, I woke up to find most of it on my pillow. No kidding! I had massive shedding for about two weeks and went from thick hair to hair so thin, you could see my scalp. So weird, but very disturbing. My doctor said it was due to the medications that I was taking at the time, but when I stopped, the hair did not grow back. This was almost 10 years ago.

                            I've been taking vitamins off and on for years, but became fanatical about them almost two years ago. When my hair started growing back about 6 months or so ago, even my DH noticed and now he's a believer. I don't know if it's the combination of the increased B vitamins, increased amounts of omega oils, or what. I do know that I take them religiously everyday and a wide variety of them.

                                I've been taking my supplements.

                                btw,all this talk about hair made me realize something. My hair has gotten a lot longer . People are even commenting on how long it is. My hair used to grow so slow. It is still frizzy, whatever, I have curly hair. I wonder if the vitamins are the reason why my hair has grown so much longer?
