I've been noticing my hair thinning our quite a bit lately. I am 3 months post op today, so the timing seems consistent with others I've read about. I've been looking for Biotin since before the surgery, bit kind of forgot about it this past month due to our military PCS.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good chewable biotin supplement? I've read that the 5000mg is better than the 1000mg. Is that true?

Thanks -

Karyn

You can get the sublingual along with b-6 and folic acid. I use one made by Wonder Laboratories. I still have not had any Hair loss, but recently contributed it to consumption of tuna and salmon.

I haven't been able to find chewables. The Biotin I got from the pharmacy is small enough for me to take without any trouble, though it is 1000mg. I take one per day, as that's what my doctor said was best for me. They're about the size of an asprin (maybe a little more flat).

Just google or word search it. Several places have it. I ordered mine from some Vitamin shop on line,but I will shop around next time because the shipping and handling was as much as the Biotin. Good luck.:)

Thanks so much for the replies :thumbup:

I actually found some 5000mg capsules at Walmart yesterday that I just open and mix with some applesauce or juice. Hopefully this works for me.

Thanks again.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
