Biotin for hair loss

Hi there, I read in a recent thread about biotin for hair loss. What is biotin and where can it be purchased? Thanks for your help! 280/210/170 5'10" Annie

I buy mine right at Walmart where the vitamins are. It isn't costly at all, and is used for hair and skin. I bet you can get it at most drug stores though! Hope this helps!! Teresa

Yes,and I did find some interesting things about the B vitamins today. I was getting cracks in the corners of my mouth and started researching. Vitamins B6, B12 and Boitin can contribute to hair loss if there is a deficiency in them. I have found several sublingual forms of B Complex vitamin supplements. Vitamin World carries one and Walgreens web site has some too!! Melinda

I really need to start taking a b vitamin!! I have stopped taking the flinstones chewables, and I have been taking a one a day along with my biotin, but I am going to add some extra b in there too!! I was thinking a b complex should take care of all my B needs right? Thanks for all the info on here! Teresa

Hi Annie, I use NourishHair by GNC. It's a bit more expensive than the items found elsewhere but I did a lot of research and these are very good. Besides having biotin, they include other nutrients that are needed for those on protein diets. I also use Nioxin as shampoo. I've noticed an improvement regarding the amount that is falling out. Oh, I use Trader Joes B vitamin (and Folic acid) sublingals. Make sure to compare labels along with price! Hope this helps! Jennifer

I just started Biotin on saturday after hearing about it on this site. I bought a bottle of 60 for $15.00 at GNC. They are 2500 mg. ~Angel 222/172/120
