Tx.Doll3 30 Posted June 4, 2013 Has anyone else started taking Biotin? I'm pre-op but does it help to keep some hair from falling out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eva Linder 47 Posted June 4, 2013 Don´t know. I know it keeps my horses hoofs healthier. Maybe someone else knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweetcarol238 181 Posted June 4, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mexico 16 Posted June 4, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichiganChic 3,262 Posted June 4, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacqueline Marie 73 Posted June 4, 2013 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. 1 NotLookinBack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted June 4, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninanew 22 Posted June 4, 2013 Can someone recommend a good source for Biotin, and any brands you prefer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted June 5, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
