I know she also consumes a lot of seeds in these crackers she eats every day (and a lot of whole grains) The hair skin & nails vitamins have a lot of biotin, and vit A, C, & E. Is any of that enough to cause substantial growth?
Then it might be from the nutrients in the seeds. Both the peas and beans are super healthy. So are seeds in general. Yes this should have a huge impact. You may not grow from these directly, but they should make it super easy to grow from herbs or your body's own hormones if they're already high enough.
Like I said a half dozen nutrients from a vitamin pill doesn't really compare to the dozens if not hundreds of random compounds in food. It may have a small effect, but probably not, and not any more than what already came from the multi-vitamin.

While only the known measured compounds are listed, there are many more in food. The known just help you get a rough idea of what they're like overall, known and unknown.
If you want to copy:
- Eat tons and tons of seeds. Beans and peas are nice. So are others. Brown rice is nice. Note that raw seeds are harder to digest, so they should be sprouted and/or cooked unless you're only eating a small handful of something. Look through my older threads to find a list of the healthiest foods. For example while most of these nutrients are in seeds, AFAIK the best source of biotin is egg yolks.
- A multi-vitamin and a multi-B (which should have biotin and other Bs) could be ok just in case you're missing something else. But make sure that together they don't go over ~300% RDI on anything. Probably will do nothing, but it doesn't hurt to fill what easy gaps you can just in case you're missing something simple. Going above 150% RDI almost certainly adds nothing compared to less. 300% is only a rough limit to be safe and because more is useless. I don't know if a little over that is ok for some vitamins. But certainly not the 3000% that some pills have.
- I doubt the green tea will do much for NBE but it's good for your circulation, heart health and so forth so you can pick up a little of that too if you like.
- My sig program + cycled PM and PC should be doable with amazing results after you've done this for 2-4 months. Herbs in general should work optimally. Again the nutrients are enablers, letting your hormones or herbs work fully. Men who did the same wouldn't grow moobs from peas alone, nor would a woman with low hormones and no herbs. It all depends what your body does with the tools. Can't do anything without nutrient tools, won't do anything without hormonal signaling.
