bonmah77 20 Posted January 16, 2013 How much Biotin do you take? Do you use what the bottle says or do you increase it? I haven't lost any hair, but I find it is difficult to manage lately. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mummajuju 77 Posted January 16, 2013 I take 4 x 300 over the day. Not noticed an improvement yet but it's early days! Losing do much hair is scary! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeeSh32 99 Posted January 16, 2013 I haven't loss any hair yet either. Thank God but its still early!!! It's only been 3 weeks on tomorrow though but I did go to Walmart & they had Biotin 1000 mcg & 5000 mcg. With 1000 I would have to take so many a day & 5000 only 2 daily with meals. I don't like to take a lot of medicine so I just got the 5000 mcgs. 1 byrd reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeeSh32 99 Posted January 16, 2013 @ Byrd I have a question for you.....why did you start taking Biotin so late? I was told that I needed to get that immediately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilmmason 17 Posted January 17, 2013 I take 2 Biotin tabs a day each 5000 mcg. My hair was thinning before I got banded 12/18/12. I've had no issues. I'm not seeing much of a difference but I'm told it could take a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peaceful1 110 Posted January 17, 2013 Ok now I'm freaking, nobody told me about this! Why do we lose our hair? !?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txflea 63 Posted January 17, 2013 Not everyone loses their hair. Some people's hair thin, some doesnt. Bioten is awesome, I took that with a Gelatin pill and I can say that it did make my hair thicker. I have not had the surgery yet and yes the idea of losing my hair FREAKS ME OUT!! But I can always buy extensions or wigs right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mummajuju 77 Posted January 17, 2013 As far as I'm aware it's 'thinning' of the hair rather than full on loss. I may be wrong and I'm sure ill get told if I am. I think it's a result of less Proteins etc. some people say its the anaesthetic but I've had several over the years and never experienced any hair loss/thinning before. If you haven't had your surgery start taking it now. That would probably help a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
