Ok so I am scheduled for surgery 9.20.12 & I am worried about hairloss, so I bought Biotin 500mcg. Does anyone know how many times a day I should take it or what is recommended for the maximum benefit?

I did do research on the web, but it was anywhere fr/500-5000, so I will take 500mcg 2x's a day until I see my dr for further info. Its just I have really long thick hair & I am trying to avoid any unnecessary loss. Thx for all the replies:-)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
