Biotin?

[Tx.Doll3 30]

Has anyone else started taking Biotin? I'm pre-op but does it help to keep some hair from falling out?

Don´t know. I know it keeps my horses hoofs healthier. Maybe someone else knows.

I have been taking it and it hasn't helped with the hair lose. The doctor said it won't do anything and that it's a "good" sign when your losing hair. I didn't agree.

It doesn't stop your hair from falling out...nothing really will. Even eating a ton of Protein I still lost tons but it helps tremendously with regrowth of new hair...I started taking it 2 months post op started losing hair 3 months post op but just as I was losing I was regrowing. I am 7 1/2 months post op now and just stopped losing so much hair but Biotin has kept it coming back and thickened it all. I went month 4 and had highlights put in to disguise some of the loss and that helped a lot too. Its all part of the journey it doesn't last forever

Hi. There cut an onion in fajitas en put it inside your Shampoo let the onion sit inthe shampoo for seven days before you start using it. This help me with my Hair loss.< /p>

I've been taking it since before surgery. I lost a lot of hair....maybe would have lost more without it? I/m not sure, but not taking chances. It definitely did not prevent Hair loss, though.

I take Biotin and I am preop. I have noticed that I don't lose as much hair. My hair & skin feels and looks a lot better though.

I have been taking Biotin for over a year now. I have had thin hair for a long time. It has helped me. I am 3 months post op and and so far, have not had much Hair loss, although I have heard about 4 months is the usual time frame. It has helped my skin and nails a great deal. I have thin nails as well and I have seen a major difference in them since about 6 months after I started using it.

Can someone recommend a good source for Biotin, and any brands you prefer?

I love The Nature's Bounty brand. It's 5,000 meg of Biotin so just one per day is all that is needed and the pill is tiny. Just a tad smaller than a Benedryl. I get them at CVS when they are BOGO.
