Hi, I do. I'm taking Nutrafol woman's balance and their Stress Adaptogen. I need it because my hair has been falling out from the roots intensely. Formally had a relaxer in October of last year before getting diagnosed with CCCA alopecia. I have enough plenty of new growth and slow growth where the alopecia is. My Dermatologist says I still have enough hair to cover the scaring. But we're working on keeping my scalp inflammation down and slow the spread.

Unless you're deficient in that vitamin, taking more won't make a difference. And there's no evidence that they will make your hair grow more or faster. However, if you are deficient in for example, Vitamin D, that can lead to hair loss, so taking VitD will make a difference.
You should see your medical care provider and have them check your levels then adjust your supplements accordingly.
