Post Op Hair Loss Question

Anyone have recommendations for a biotin supplement for hair loss that is tolerable? I bought some; a skin, hair nails supplement-and they are huge pills which I have to cut into 3's which means I have to take 6. They are sooo gross. Anyone who has taken huge prenatals knows what I mean. I can almost taste them all day and gag on them from the smell.

I have super thick hair and the qty falling out is alarming. I know it will stop, but I also want to keep it healthy.

I've been using a biotin shampoo that seems to be helping a bit, but in the end it's going to run its course. I know some companies do make chewable biotin.

You may want to check out Puritan's Pride. The biotin they sell is pretty small if you buy the tablets.

Hope this helps.

I brought biotin pills from Walmart and they are small. I have no probelm swallowing them. I am afraid of big pills though, becasue they will get stuck... so I try to stay away from them..

I take the Solaray B-Complex chewable in strawberry-kiwi flavor which I think tastes pretty good and has 300 mcg of Biotin which is 100% daily value per day in one chewable tab. It is not very expensive and I just order it online. I have also started using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner. I am not sure ant of this has helped yet but at least I feel like I am doing something. Good luck!

Thanks for the info! chewable sounds awesome. I know its just a phase, but I want to feel like I'm doing something too.
