Hair Supplements - Vitamins & Supplements Message Board

I recently purchased Nature's Bounty "Vitamins for the Hair"... it contains Biotin and Niacin and soy protein... (experiencing some post-stress hairloss)
a couple things:

a.) does this stuff have any effect on hair growth and strengthening whatsoever?
b.) Is Niacin dangerous?
c.) I'm mildly allergic to soy, and it contains soy proteins... should I not take it?
d.) Are there any other supplements I should take?

Thanx

im also taking this vitamin as well and would like to hear people's comments about it. It says to take two a day but im only taking one to start off with.

also, this is my first time ordering from Nature's Bounty. Are they a good and safe company to buy from? They seem to have great prices and good service but you never know...

I actually returned my bottle... I'm going to take biotin (for strength), silica (growth), and some prenatals (thickness)...
here's what someone replied to another one of my posts:

"I take Prenatals (1 a day) Silica (2 a day) and Biotin (2 a day). This worked for me. Silica makes it grow long. Prenatals help the thickness and biotin helps with strength."

Hope this helps you out as well :-)

Biotin has caused my hair to grow faster.

I'm afraid of excess oiliness as a side effect though, i've known this to happen to people who have taken biotin and other hair suppliments. if anyone can shed light on this i'd appreciate it.
