Question about aloe vera and biotin

Hi gang. Quick question...

I'm 10 months post RNY and the hair loss has slowed down a lot. Yay right...I was worried for a while. Lol.

Ok to the question....biotin...anyone KEEP biotin in their routine after the hair loss phase?

Anyone here take aloe vera juice? If so how do you use it?? In your drinks? Straight?

I'm going to pick some up tonight at store and try it. Couldn't hurt right?? I'm looking for regularity and saw that aloe vera helps with that. Very low calorie .... hhhmmm

Thanks in advance

I am five years out and still take biotin.  My hair is still not as thick and it was before wls.  I still lose some and I see little new hair coming back.  I think biotin helps it grow back.  I think I will need it forever.  

I do not know anything about aloe vera juice.  I will be interested to see what others say.  My hair is fine and fragile.  I have always had lots of it till wls.  I need all the help I can get.

hi/lo/today   

Thanks Ruby, I have the chia pet look going on with the fresh growth. I am losing less and less daily. The biotin definitely helps with regrowth as I can see the evidence when shaving my legs...jeesh. 

I did some more research on the aloe vera stuff. I bought some tonight and added it with my water and eh...could use some tweaking but if I consumed 4-6oz a day like it recommends...I should be good. It has a lot of vitamins and minerals and has great internal benefits. Saw where it helps with GERD and heartburn, constipation, regularity, boosts immune system and is safe to take DAILY....

I searched here on OH and saw a recipe of a protein shake where they added 2 oz in to the shake...not a bad idea. 

I'll keep ya posted... 

 REALLY ...  Interesting idea .  I knwo the ladies from the Caribbean countries swear by Aloe vera juice for weight loss ( its a natural laxative and burn/ wound healer ) 

I like my figs though lol ....keep us posted please Diana how it affects U Ok ? 

My mom is losing weight (not trying, she's underweight), and we are both losing tons of hair right now. I have taken biotin since day one, my nails and leg hair are growing super fast, and I have little spikes of hair too. My mom just got a hair/skin/nail supplement after reading about taking gelatin. It has gelatin, biotin, and something else in it. She said after only a week she has way less to no hair loss. Not sure yet if it's working for re-growth. I'm buying some this weekend. I'll keep you updated.

I stopped taking it after I realized it wasn't doing anything for me...
