Biotin

Who takes Biotin?  How much do you take?

My hair is shedding everywhere so last weekend I purchased a bottle of Biotin from Target.  I'm just taking one a day right now that has 1000mcg.  What do you take?

I take Biotin from GMC (women's hair &nail) 1000 MCG, daily I believe it works.. because I haven't seen as many hair follicles falling out my head.. LOL.. My doc said at least 1000 MCG a day.. I hope he's right and it starts growning back in 3 months!!

I wasn't sure what to take...but thanks for the info. I go for my 3 month follow up on Thursday, so I'll ask about the amount I should start taking.

I take 5000mcg 1 time per day.  Not sure if it's helping or not because I'm still losing hair, but to tell you the truth, I figured I wouldn't be able to completely stop it from happening.  It's not horrible, but definitely noticeable when I'm decorating my shower wall.  I also use Nioxin, but dang, that stuff is expensive.  It'll grow back, so I'm good with how it's going so far.

OMG  I am shedding like there is no tomorrow i should really start collecting it incase i need to make a wig!  It is horrible my hair is getting thin so i will be glad when this is over and it starts growing back.   I take 1000-2000mg a day!

it'll grow back.....seems like the average time is 7-9 months??   I also have heard that the protein intake is super important and that does make sense.  So don't short yourself on protein.

Luanne,  Love the new pic!!!!

Thank you.  I feel so much better too and I guess it shows  :-)  You're picture looks great too.  It's all very exciting isn't it  :-)

I buy my Biotin at Walmart. (Spring Valley brand, Super Potency Biotin 5000 mcg capsules)  I take one a day. I've been taking it for about a month and I just noticed that my hair loss seems to slowing down this week. Either its the Biotin, a fluke, or natures way of saying, "OK you've suffered enough."

I've been taking 2500 mcg daily since I had surgery.   I think it's helping.  I am shedding hair but it's not coming out in clumps like some people mention.
