Can we have a vitamin challenge to aid in hair growth?

I was thinking of incorporating some vitamins into my regimen for the summer to try to up my growth. I am 2 inches shy of armpit length now and would like to get there for my vacation in August. I know its a stretch but I am hitting this full blast. I am already in the no comb challenge and am stretching my relaxer to bet (10-12 weeks). Can we also name the vitamins we are using.

My regimen would be as follows:
msm
biotin 2500 mcg
ultra nourishhair (which also has biotin 1200)
fish oils supplement from gnc
b complex vitamin from gnc
folic acid

Is there something I can add to boost more hair growth.

I guess I'm in anyways because I take daily:

5,000mcg Biotin
Super Stress B-complex
1 a day vitamin

I'll add in a Hair Vitamin especially for this challenge. As a side note, last week I thought my friends was taking 1 Biotin pill with 5,000mcg and I went home and took three of mine without reading the bottle because I assumed it was 1,000mcg per pill. WELLLL....it turned out that each pill has 5,000mcg's and that means I took three of those! OHMYGOD! Well don't worry, no negative side affects so far....my eyebrows that were waxed last week grew in over the weekend...and that's about it.

LOL

I need to start taking vitamins, not just for growth but health. This list sounds good, but will add my multivitamin.

count me in. i am taking
GNC-hair skin & nails
flax seed oil-1000mcg
biotin-5000mcg

for those that are taking nioxin-do you take 1 tablet or 2. the formula appears to be less potent than GNC HSN or ultranourish hair. i took it and didn't see any results at all. i tried 2 bottles. i want to try it again so i have something to switch up when i think my body is getting used to the HSN formula
