Question:

I bought Biotin today to take and try not to loose my hair as badly, they are 800 MCG, how many a day should I take?    — leeann N. (posted on August 30, 2002)

I TAKE 5 mg A DAY. THE BRAND IS COUNTRY LIFE. IT IS A VERY SMALL CAPSULE. IN FACT I HAVE NEW SPROUTS OF HAIR GROWING. THE ONCLOGIST SUGGESTED THE 5 MG FOR HIS CANCER PATIENTS. IT REALLY WORKS GREAT. HOPE THIS HELPS ALL WHO INQUIRES.

I was told by the salesperson at GNC that I should take atleast 2400mg a day. That is what I have been taking. (2, 600mg. twice a day ) I, unfortunately, started taking it AFTER I started losing my hair. I do think, however, that my hair is coming in very nicely and the hair I do have seems to be a lot healthier now.
