Can supplements cause hair to be thicker?

So, it seems like since I've been even more consistant with taking my supplements Omega's 3,6,9, Co-Q10, Glucosomine Chondroit, CLA, multi, 5000 IU's of Vit D, just to name a few, my hair seems to have gotten MUCH thicker and stronger. Having said that, I already have pretty darn thick hair- thank you, Dad! In fact, even with five years of chemo off and on, he did lose some hair, but NEVER went completely bald! Yeahhh Dad! Alas, he did eventually lose his hard-fought battle.

So, have you heard of vitamins and supplements thickening hair?? Then again, maybe I'm just getting my "winter coat"! :p

Yes, vitamins and supplements can effect hair growth, horsetail improves eyelashes especially.

Though that said, sheesh, don't suppose you would be willing to share some of that mane?:D
 
I've read 5,000mg of biotin each day thickens hair. List your supplements girl! We want to know the secret to thicker hair. :D
 
I have pretty thick hair naturally, but I find Udo's Oil Blend helps keep it healthy and strong.
 
I also heard wonderful praises about Biotin. Also heard taking prenatal vitamins vs regular vitamins...and also heard taking the supplement called Hair, Skin and Nails works wonders. I haven't tried any one of these but was thinking about trying one out to strengthen my very fine locks.
 
Okay, I'm going to update my supplement list and post it here. I'm also gonna check about biotin and see if it's hiding somewhere in the list! You all have MY curiousity now! :D

I had really fine and thin hair when I started taking biotin and evening primrose oil several years ago. It has done wonders for me. My pony tail is twice as thick as it used to be :) I take 5,000 mg a day of biotin and notice more hair falls out if I miss more than a couple days. I have a sensitive stomach and had to start out with 1,000 mg a day and build up to 5,000 mg. I use "NOW" foods for most of my supplements, however the EPO I use is a vegetarian brand that I can't recall at the moment. I highly recommend them both.
