A. In Chinese medicine, premature hair loss or graying of hair is due to Kidney Deficiency and a lack of blood circulation (thus nutrients) to the scalp. Vitamin B helps build blood and is depleted during times of stress, so it can be very helpful. Vitamin E can also be helpful in re-establishing healthy hair. Kidney tonics can help to restore thinning hair or reverse balding if there is still some fuzz (if you are shiny bald, it is all over). Here are the causes of hair loss according to TCM and some tonic herbs for hair loss:

Is it too much for one day?
A. No, not at all, remember that the "suggested daily dose" or whatever is just enough to keep from getting severe deficiency symptoms like scurvy, not necessarily enough for your optimum health. With vitamin there's lots of room.

A. Vitamin C is very important in the healing process as it is required in the formation of collagen. Zinc is crucial for wound healing and developing of new cells - it has been documented that marginal zinc deficiency is associated with impaired wound healing. Vitamin A also plays a role in tissue repair.
The optimum amounts:
Zinc 50 mg
Vitamin C 2000 mg
Vitamin A 25,000 I.U.
Vitamin E 400 I.U.
The foods you eat also contribute, good sources for your critical healing vitamins:
Zinc: fortified cereals, red meats, and seafood
Vitamin C: citrus fruits and juices, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, spinach, some cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage)
Vitamin A: dark green, leafy vegetables, orange or yellow vegetables, orange fruits, fortified dairy products, liver
If your daily multi-vitamin is reasonably close to these amounts there is probably no need for additional supplements. Be conservative with the amount of Zinc that you choose to take -- 50 mg might be too much for those with sensitive stomachs. If you experience any nausea drop the amount down to 25 mg.
A high protein diet is also recommended for optimal healing, I chose to go with 60 grams of protein a day during my healing period. I hate to sound like your mother, but -- eat your fruits & veggies! Good nutrition is the best thing you can do for yourself to make healing go as quickly as possible. Skip the drive-thru and head to the sandwich shop for lunch.... It's pretty simple: stay away from all things fried.
Drink: Water, V8 Juice, Fruit Juice, Milk/Soy Milk, protein shakes
Eat: Whole grain breads, lean meats, eggs, veggies, pasta
Protein: At least 2 to 3 servings per day, beef, fish, poultry, pork, veal, lamb, eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt, dried beans and peas, nuts, seeds
