Biotin

How much Biotin should I be taking?  I saw 500mg and 1000mg, does anyone know?  Also, why do we lose hair on the head, after WLS surgery and not anywhere else, if you catch my drift...  Kim

Hey Kim.. I feel ya there about losing it only on your head.. what is up with that.. I personally take 1000mg Biotin daily.. But talk to your dr and see what they say.. I started taking mine prior to surgery and just continued.. I didnt ask either.. I just told them this is what I am taking.. ha ha ha.. Good luck!!

Hi Kim,  I take 5,000 mcg of Biotin a day. I still lost some hair but what I did lose came in nice and my nails are thriving because of the Biotin.  Lauren  

hey kimgirl.... I took 1,000 mg (or mcg? whatever they measure it in!) for about the first year after surgery, daily. Never had a problem w/hair loss... don't know why people don't lose hair in, er... "other" places... :) seems funny, huh? take care! Lori
