Biotin question

How much Biotin is needed to prevent hair loss?

I am post op day #5 and am scared of Hair loss coz my Protein intake is low. Hopefully it will get better with Isopure drinks that I got today.

Anyway, GNC is selling Biotin for 600mcg -10,000, the dosage range is sooo wide!

. So im not sure exactly how much to take.

Advise and information will be appreciated!

Very thankful!

Biotin won't prevent the loss. It just helps it grow back in faster.

I take 9,000 mcgs , but Biotin doesn't work by itself . It's just a piece of the puzzle . You need your multi, Calcium , B 12 , b complex , and your biotin. I take 100 grams of Protein a day at leAst because I'm scared of Hair loss too .

I take 10,000mcg a day. You'll just pee out what you don't use. My nails and hair look great right now! lol

I think Hair loss is inevitable. I'm just hoping to have it as healthy as possible beforehand.

Thanks guys! It seems also from the older posts that i read the 10,000 mcg is the most common. And yes! This is in addition to the cocktail of Vitamins I now take that is recommended by kaiser. I will also check whats the best recommendation with my nutritionist-- and will share with y'all as well!

Thanks ????.

I take 5000mcg of Biotin a day but I still lost a lot of hair. My surgeon told me to take flax oil 1-2 TBSP per day and that seems to be working.
