Question:
What vitamins do I need to make my hair quit falling out? I'm 1 year post-op.

You need to have 50 to 60 grams of protein a day and if you work out then
you need 90 grams is what I'm told. I'm not one that is very good with
smell or taste but I buy the Super Whey protein shot drinks at Walmart and
they have 26g's in them. I chill them and it does the job along with eating
right. Oh, I also take my equate multi-vitamin chewables. Good luck!

Biotin oral supplements, as well as shampoo and conditioner. I just
started mine last week before surgery. (Probably should have started much
sooner.)
My hair had been thinning some years back, probably due to a combination of
stress, genetics and hair abuse. So I started using EQyss Mega-Tek Equine
Rebuilder for Mane, Tail, Coat & Hoof, which I buy at a feed store or
online. My hairdresser has commented often in recent years on the
thickness of my hair, so it works. So even with my new biotin shampoo
& conditioner, I'm still putting some EQyss at base of my scalp for a
couple of minutes before rinsing. A 16 oz bottle of the EQyss Mega-Tek is
about $30, but lasts more than a year. You really need to have used it a
full year though before deciding about it, although it does work instantly
as a hair volumizer. Best success.

I too am one year out and still stuggle with hair loss. It comes and goes.
I drink tons of protein. One thing that has helped it grow back in is
Nioxin shampoo system and believe it or not Selson Blue medicated. It has
something in it that helps hair grow. It's worked for me.

I am one year out as well and have had a problem with hair loss. My doctor
said to be sure to get my protein and also put me on Biotin vitamins and it
is working for me. I use Aussie shampoo and conditioner and it seems to
help as well. My hairdresser recoommended it.

I have taken Biotin and it didn't help a lot but I recently started taking
Black Currant Oil supplements and they have helped a great deal. You can
get them online from Nature's Sunshine. You can look up info on them too.
They help with nail hair and skin. But I found while I was taking them the
amount of shedding I had decreased a lot. When I stopped taking them it
increased again. So I'm going to take them again. God Bless and Happy
Thanksgiving!

Zinc, worked for me & was the first thing that was recommended by my
doc. (Since my hair has come back, it is fuller & wavy & curly
even - always had dead straight hair for 40 years - wierd or what?!?!)

I asked my doctor about this so I would know before it happens, and he said
biotin and zinc would do the trick!
