Biotin

About 2 months ago, I started taking 5000 mg of Biotin twice a day on the advice of a good friend who said it would help minimize my hair loss after surgery.  I've always been very very thin on top coupled with extreme baby fine hair.  I need to keep everything I can!!!  Well, I went to my stylist on Friday and lo and behold I have a serious crop of new hair-lets growing outta the top in the thin area!  I had felt the "nubbies" but didn't even ever dream that the 6" x 3" area on top would begin to grow and fill in!

And, the serious dry skin and cuticles on my hands are incredibly improved.  I am jumping for joy!

Hey Maureen, are you taking MG or MCG?? I take 5000 MCG and love the way my hair is growing and looking sooo very healthy.

Check and let me know.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE HAIR THAT I NEVER HAD BEFORE AND IT'S DOWN TO MY WAIST. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GROWN MY HAIR THAT LONG. I AM STILL TAKING IT AND PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL. MY DAUGHTER JUST FOUND AT WALMART MADE BE REXALL SUPPER POTENCY BIOTIN SO I AM GOING WITH THAT. IT'S 5000MCG I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS OK TO TAKE 10,00O OR NOT I JUST MAY GIVE IT A SHOT. OH AND MY NAILS GROW LIKE WEEDS.

GOT TO LOVE THAT BIOTIN AND THE PRICE IS GREAT TOO,

CONGRATS ON THE NEW SIZEABLE HAIR GROWTH.

HAVE A GREAT DAY

It's the Rexall Super Potentcy 5000 msc.  It's awsome, cheap and holy cow it works!  And it comes in capsule so I can take it apart and put it in liquids or soft food when I get to that point.

Thanks for the info.  I am going to buy some today  I also have a thyroid problem so I have on again off again hair loss.  I was so worried that I would lose more after surgery.

I think I remember someone mentioning Biotin before, but I never bought any.  Now I will

Now, I take Rexall Super Potency Biotin 5000 mcg, and I saw a difference in a week!

Good Luck,

I have been taking 5,000mcg Biotin per day since 6 months before surgery. I stopped for about 2 months after surgery then started up again, but now I take 10,000mcg./day. My nails grow like weeds and my skin is really nice too. I started loosing my hair at 3 moths post-op. I have very very baby fine hair. It grows quickly too. I keep it short right now due to the hair loss, but I have noticed som new "buds" growing. The biotin really helps with the thickness of the hair. I love it! lol

I've been taking it too for maybe a little over a month?

My nails are getting stronger and I actually polished them this weekend, they were too weak to do so before!

Don't notice anything with the hair yet.  I do notice the older I get the thinner my hair is :(  Maybe it's the black that makes it more noticeable.  It sucks.  Hope it can help that too eventually.

yes our beatiful hair... 4mos out and hair is falling out, take my biotin faithfully  I love my hair so I really  hate this... but then again what women doesn't .. notice that men do not complain about this...on well not bald yet so that make me happy ...Cate48

Where do you find 5000msc Biotin at, I have only been able to find 1000mc
here is Orange County.  I too have thyroid issues and fight the thin hair as well.

Thanks, Katie
