Dear ramisamer,Thank you for posting this question.  The short answer is yes, you may use the supplements.  In fact, you could start taking those immediately following surgery.  All are good for general health as well as optimal hair health.  I hope this information is helpful to you.

You can take supplements after surgery but you should clear this with your doctor who performed surgery on your head.

The supplements mentioned by you are usually prescribed to have a supportive effect on hair growth. It will be better to get it checked from your hair transplant surgeon and then start off with these supplements.

You can start using supplements right away after hair transplant as it will not effect hair growth. In fact we do suggest using biotin, it may actually help the overall health of the hair.

The supplements you named, Vitamin D, Biotin and Omega 3 fish oils should not be a problem for you. I doubt that they will make any difference, but if it makes you comfortable, take them

You can restart blood thinners like fish oil 2 days after the procedure.  There is no need to stop vitamin D for surgery.  Therefore, you can start both vitamin D and fish oil now.
