my hair has been shedding more than usual, and I want to try a supplement to see if it helps ( I use organic shampoo/conditioner, and I eat plenty of veggies/fish oil/ etc, and i don't style my hair much only blow dry on cool)

I will give several answers since this depends on the condition.
For general reasons the best thing is Ecklonia Cava (Fibroboost).
It protects against photo oxidation, inflammation from caused from diet, increases trans-cranial blood flow, increases oxygen to the capillaries and inhibits gelatinase-B enzyme (MMP-9) which causes follicle fallout. More info on that found here: http://www.immortalhair.org/theoryinpractice.htm
Biotin would help if you have been an accutane user in the past or have taken antibiotics in the last year.
If it's thyroid related, then iodine in the form of Lugol's solution.
See this site for more information regarding that. http://www.immortalhair.org/physiology.htm
It could be iron also, so have your ferritin levels measured, but only if you're female.
There are many reason why you loose your hair! It can be from stress, shock, unbalanced diet, lack of sleep, or health related!!! I alwayse recomend getting a yearly check up at the doctors to make sure it aint thyroide or any other reasons!
But you need to know that there is a stage of hair growth you will loose more hair then normal it does this once a year! So if it's a recent thing i would not worry.
If it has been going on for awhile ither see a doctor or try nioxin!
Vitamins B, C, F, zinc, iron, copper and protein are essential for hair growth. Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables is probably the best way to achieving healthy hair. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.

Health author here…In my books The Healing Powers of Olive Oil and The Healing Powers of Vinegar, I address hair loss, which can be caused by genes, hormones, stress, and even lack of certain nutrients, eating disorders, and chemo…
Also, in Woman’s World magazine (I used to be the Diet and Nutrition columnist), I did a two page article (big) on what to do for hair loss and interviewed high profile folks. Protein is a biggie. Do include protein in your diet. I prefer fish, yogurt, eggs (in moderation) — for starters. It will help your hair feel thicker (I noticed when I did this–I’m a vegan of sorts–my hair stylist noticed a difference. And I love having my long, curly locks at 56. ACV? Nah. Olive oil? Good if you’re a guy and want to be stylish and shave your head. But both oil and vinegars are good for your overall health–which could help keep your hair, too. Not solo, but in conjunction with a healthful Mediterranean diet and lifestyle–to stay destressed, lower your risk of developing cancer and heart disease…
