Vitamin to help hair loss



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what supplement you take to help thicken your hair to help with the Hair loss? I haven't had surgery yet but my nurse practitioner recommended I start taking something now but I can't remember what it is!!

It's Biotin. But it is not a sure remedy. If your body decides it needs to place Hair growth on hold, my understanding is, it will. But Biotin is supposed to help. I have been advised to wait until 4 weeks to start because I should not take anything that is not absolutely necessary until my pouch is completely healed. Makes sense!

I started Biotin immediately (three days after surgery), and because of my inability to drink Protein Shakes I was instructed to increase the mcg's to 10,000 per day instead of the normally recommended 5,000. I have it in both the dissolving and pill form, and haven't had a problem taking either. I'm only seven weeks out so haven't begun to lose my hair yet. I take several Vitamins a day in both pill form and Gummy form and have had no problems ingesting any of them.
