What is the dose taken for hair loss. I have read on the hair/nail vitamins that they contain about 3000mg. If anyone has an idea of what is a good dose I would appreciate your input. Thanks

Debbie, The recommended daily dose for adults (women or men) is 30 micrograms, so the 3000 micrograms in the hair, skin, and nails vitamins is a huge boost. You can get doses in the mg, though. Hope this helps! Lisa

BEFORE SURGERY, FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO, I TOOK 5,000 mcg A DAY (a normal dose on the "Serving Size") ... AFTER SURGERY, DUE TO THE STRESS ON OUR BODIES & OUR MALABSORPTION ISSUES, I TOOK 3 TIMES THAT AMOUNT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NOW, 15 MONTHS POST OP, I TAKE 5,000 mcg 2 - 3 TIMES A WEEK. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS POST OP, I "MEGA-DOSED" ALL MY SUPPLEMENTS BUT I HAD A MALABSORPTION ISSUE PRIOR TO SURGERY, SO IT JUST SEEMED TO TAKE MORE THAN NORMAL FOR ME TO GET RESULTS WITH ANYTHING I WAS ON. HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS GOOD, BAD, OR WHATEVER ... BUT IT HELPED ME. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk
