How much Biotin to take to help prevent hair loss?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon actually recommended taking Inositol rather than Biotin when I voiced my concerns about Hair loss. I haven't tried it yet since I stocked up on Biotin before I heard about the Inositol but once I'm out of Biotin I will definitely try the Inositol.

pharmacist recommended 10' date='000 mcg per day. Seems to have helped. My hair loss is just about back to normal.[/quote']

How long did it take you, I had surgery June first and I'm loosing do much I'm scared to go bald. I take 10000 a day and other Vitamins and drops for my hair, but nothing seems to be helping and I take in my Proteins too .

My surgeon does not mention Biotin for Hair loss in his notes, instead he says after checking your Protein intake try Silica tablets and Zinc which you can get from red meat and raw nuts (also oysters). The notes also mention good fats such as avocado, olive oil, fish and fish oil. Hope this helps!

Where do we find siica tablets? at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe I guess? Zinc as well....okay...great thx

      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.
