I get tiny tablets of 7500mg of Biotin from Puritans Pride online.

Am a little confused.. my doc prescribed Biotin for me but the tablets are just 10mg each? should it be much higher?

I just started using Biotin maybe 2 weeks ago and I really think I am starting to already notice some changes in my hair and nails. My nails are getting longer and feel harder and my hair seems to be growing. It's kjnda weird or just my imagination.

I have been on Biotin for almost two months now, they told me to start on 1000 mg, I started taking 5000 and I still am losing so much hair every day. Also, I had my surgery in June and I'm only down 37 lbs... Sheesh...

How much Protein are you getting in daily? If your intake is low that could explain the slow weight loss & excessive shedding.

I have increased my Protein, brought all my levels up (eg) Vitamins B12, Iron, etc...I'm so ready to get back out, but in single digit numbers, no thanks...snacking a bit more...good days, bad days....I need some suggestions!

10mg equals 10,000mcg ... just found that out at the store. You are taking the highest possible.

Is there a liquid or chewable form of 10mg Biotin that any of you suggest?

Natrol makes some that dissolve in your mouth. I use those and I bought them at Amazon.< /p>

I have been taking hair skin and nail Vitamin from Vita4Life. They have worked great for me. Apart from containing Biotin it also contains MSM that really boost the Hair growth and helps in maintaining a healthy skin and nails. I have been taking them for over a year now and have really helped me in getting a healthy skin.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
