Question:
Does anyone take extra vitamins other than what your md recommended?

I would like to an extra supplement for my hair. I have always thinning hair and it is looking pretty bad. What do you guys take? I take a mult vitamin, iron, b-12, and calcium. Thanks. Oh and I only take 1 multivitamin - yet when I did the chewable, it was 2. How many do you take? Thanks again.    — Debbie W. (posted on January 26, 2003)

HI, I don't take anything for my hair, I am losing some but I had an extremely thick hair before surgery. I have lost quite a bit but no one can tell but me & my hairdresser!!lol..Anyway, you really should take 2 vitamins daily, I didn't for a while and just kept having less and less energy, then I told my surgeon and he said I should have been taking two all along..Good luck..Open RNY 8/12/02 down 80+ lbs
