Biotin? Coromega?



Recommended Posts

How much Biotin are you all taking to help prevent Hair loss? My surgery date is 11-18 and I started taking 5000mg a day. I see the bottle says it can be taken twice a day. Also anyone taking Coromega for hair loss?

Hi,

I take Biotin in a chewable form because it's better absorbed then taking the pills.

I would also spread out the Biotin during the day. Some in the morning and some in the night.

I use Twin Labs Biotin Dots.

Good luck with your surgery and here's to a healthier and happy you.

Thank you! how many milligrams do you take a day? And is it helping at all? Where can I get the chewables? I haven't seen them

Omg, my hair is falling out literally by the handfuls. :'( I'm taking 5000 mg per day, broken up between morning and night. I'm getting so scared that if this keeps up I'll be bald by next month. My hair has always been super thick. Note it's thin and limp. Is there anything else I can take that works?

I'm a big believer in homemade Bone Broth (like chicken stock made with the frame of the bird)...super high in collagen and Gelatin for healthy skin and hair.< /p>

I have also heard amazing things about Coromega squeeze packets. I guess it's like a pudding consistently and is absorbed well. I think I will be trying it with Biotin when I'm post op. You can find it cheaper on EBay and Amazon. I'd love some more feedback on Shampoo, I've heard about Nioxin, but haven't heard to much about any others.

I've heard that Omega 3's are supposed to help too, also keeping up with Protein.< /p>

I am willing to try anything. My hair is so thin on top that I have to use brown spray Shampoo to hide my scalp and I'm still pre op. If I lose a lot it will literally be bald on top! Maybe once I lose weight my hormones will balance out and I will have thicker hair? My hair before I gained so much weight was so thick. Here's hoping

      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.
