I've been using Biotin for years - have the hypo-thyroid deal going on, and my hair got thin from it even before I had WLS. I used to take a 1000 mcg pill every day. For years, I had very few eyelashes because of the thyroid crap. But since my WLS, I found 5000 mcg capsules, take one a day, and I'm happy to say I have a full crop of eyelashes once again!

Does it work? Let's just say I don't want to STOP taking it to find out.

Stacy,

I actually take 5 of the 1,000 mcg. pills, and I get it at Cub or Snyders.....

But I did find a Super strength pill at Snyders, 7,500 mcg.

Great to see that stronger one's are available. I have been taking just 5 of the 300 mcg tablets a day.
Just curious if you take them with or without food? Think it matters??

My 5000 mdg capsules are from Spring Valley, I probably found them at Wallyworld or Target.

And I just take them @ breakfast time in the morning - not sure if it matters or not, it's just my routine.

Natalie,

I usually take them right away when I get up in the morning. then drink coffee, then about an hour later I eat.....I don't think eating with them would matter.....
