cmathews77 10 Posted February 24, 2014 If you take this, How much do you take? I've been taking it since before my surgery (8 months) and take 10,000 mcg, however I read a post the other day and they were taking two 10,000 mcg per day. Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyT 58 Posted February 24, 2014 I take 5000 mcg twice a day, well I try to take it twice a day but sometimes miss the nighttime dose. I began taking it about 2 months before surgery - so far so good, hair loss minimal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrrodriguez 22 Posted February 24, 2014 I was taking 5,000 mcg until about two weeks ago. I started taking 10,000 mcg then. I had VSG on 11/08/2013. Not sure yet if it's helping but I've noticed Hair loss recently so I'm hoping it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ree 215 Posted February 24, 2014 5000 mcg a day but now I'm considering upping that to 10,000 mcg a day. I didn't know it was safe to take such high of a dose? but so many on here seem to take 10,000 mcg a day without any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimix3 1 Posted February 24, 2014 Natures Bounty has a great Vitamin that contains Biotin, it's for hair, nails and skin. I take 15,000. a day. There is 5000 in one pill, but recommended in 3 pills per day. It is working, never had nails before and hair is growing back. 1 MzGee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

able2cope 193 Posted February 24, 2014 I take two 10,000mcg a day too, and have stronger nails than ever before! I was to the hair dresser the other week, and she said she sees the new growth coming in - I have lost some, but my hair length has also been on overdrive, so its compensated for it somewhat.

dfwtxmissy 108 Posted February 25, 2014 I take 10,000 mcg daily and I am 4 month post op and hair loss is next to none..just the usual strand here and there when styling. My nails grow like crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherbear33 288 Posted February 25, 2014 I take 10, 000 mcg a day & my hair is still falling out like crazy. I have bald spots & have to be careful how I style my hair. It started falling out when I was 3 mths po & I am now just over 7 mths po & praying it stops or at least slows down some soon. I get huge handfuls in the shower & my brushes everyday. But I know it will grow back & it is a minor upset to deal with along my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webbRN78 72 Posted February 26, 2014 I take 10,000 a day. It didn't stop my hair from falling out but has helped with regrowth. I have a ton coming back in, I'm a year out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fallenangel2904 494 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm over a year out and I've been taking 5,000 and it honestly really hasn't helped. Now that I know it's safe to take 10,000 I'm going to up my dose. My hair is so thin and you can practically see my scalp in front, I have to part it way to the side thanks for the info all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
