Ive been using Indulekha hair oil for my hair fall, and Im thinking of mixing vitamin E capsules into the bottle. Is it safe to do that? If yes, how many capsules should I use for one bottle of oil? I want to try this to help with my hair fall.

-Yes, you can mix Vitamin E capsules into Indulekha hair oil. For a standard 100ml bottle, 2-3 capsules should be enough. Use it regularly for better hair health, but remember to monitor for any irritation.

Vitamin E and cod liver oil can be beneficial for hair care, but it's essential to follow proper dosages to avoid adverse effects.Recommended Dosages1. Vitamin E (400mg): The recommended daily intake of vitamin E varies from 15mg to 20mg. Taking 400mg per day is significantly higher than the recommended amount. High doses of vitamin E can cause adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Consider taking 1 tablet (400mg) every 2-3 days.2. Cod Liver Oil B.P (300mg): Cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. The recommended daily intake of cod liver oil varies from 1000mg to 3000mg. Taking 1-2 tablets (300mg each) per day should be safe.
