I'm at the 3 month mark and noticing a few extra hairs in the sink.  I know this is to be expected but just wanted to ask about the dosage of Biotin that others are taking?

Hello,

   From what I have read it is important to take at least 5,000 to 10,000 iu of biotin for it to be effective.  This will only help with new hair growth.  Good luck!

Be careful. Biotin will not stop your hair from falling out, it will only help with the new growth. When I say new growth I mean everywhere. I stopped taking biotin when the hair I didn't know I had on my face started to show up. Not pretty. Both my doctor and surgeon said there was no proof that biotin helped stop hair from falling out. 7 months out and I can see some new growth!!!!
