What dose of Biotin do you take?



Recommended Posts

I am 2 1/2 months post op and losing hair already. My hair is already thin becuase of my thyroid and now Im losing even more. I have been using the fall fight Shampoo and conditioner but apparently not working. I was int he store and there are so many different kinds of Biotin. What kind and what dose do people use?

I use Nature's Bounty. It's 5,000 megs. I take one per day. I love them because they are very small. This week, until Saturday, CVS has them on sale. Buy one get one free. I get the big bottle that has 150 in it so I get almost a year's supply for about $20.

I used the 5000 iu dose from Nature's Bounty for the first 5 months, since then I reduced to the 1000 iu dose. Seems to be doing ok.

10000 Walmart brand (Spring Valley) & their prenatal Vitamin for my hair. I started styling my hair less & using little to no products. I started using Biotin/Collagen Organix shampoo/conditioner (purple bottle Walmart)...I am right now 13 weeks...and dread this hair loss...it hasn't started yet, but it is inevitable. Best of luck to all of us with our hair!

I was taking 10K mcg's up until a couple weeks ago. When my hair started falling out by major handfulls a couple weeks ago, I upped it to 20K mcg's. Hair is still falling out like crazy. :(

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
