I can't say calcium and magnesium (400 + 100 mg per day) has helped much with my hair growth, but zinc seems to help alot. When I started with 15 mg zinc per day a few weeks ago, the hair growth has accelerated clearly. It would also grow back without zinc, but more slowly. Since zinc also helps with my adrenals, I think its a good idea to supplement with zinc if you have a candida problem.
