Can someone please tell me how much biotin I should take?

I have read several times that some people are taking Biotin for the hairloss. Could someone tell me how much Biotin I should take? I asked the pharmacist because they had several micro grams. Like 1,000 or 500. So can someone tell me the amount I should get. My surgery is just a few weeks away and I want to get everthing that I need to. Also, is it recommended to take carnation breakfast bars or Boost? Thanks ahead of time for the answers that I know will come. Thanks, Darline
