Is anyone else having a problem with losing their hair? My hair has always been pretty thick so it is not noticable to others right now but it is to me. If it keeps coming out the way it has for the last couple of months I am going to be in trouble.

Do you know of anything that would help with this problem??? HELP!!!

I was told to use Biotin. Also eat lots of protein.

Thank you Papoose!! I will stop to pick up some Biotin on my way home today!

I have noticed in the last couple of weeks that my hair is coming out alot more than it used to. I had not been taking my vitamins like I should, I just always forgot. So now I am trying to be more consciencious about it. I think I will get some Biotin too, though. Whatever works!

I haven’t been banded yet but the nutritionist says that lack of protein will cause hair loss. Atkins makes some great protein drinks she says I should be drinking one daily once banded. 15grams or more protein and 5 grams or less of carbohydrates (it also has 20% biotin) Got it at Wal-Mart for $6.97. Hope this helps.

I havent had the hair loss issue which the Dr , dietician and my hairdresser say is due to a lack of protein.... but I have a question about Biotin... is it a gel cap? And if so how does one swallow it?

The Biotin I have is dissolveable. You put it under your tongue and it dissolves. So it is easy to take. My bottle says it is 5,000 mg.

thanks for the feedback... I want to use it to grow my hair faster and make my nails stronger... they say it works. we'll see!

I was losing a ton of hair up to about a week ago. 3 weeks ago I started taking biotin and silica. Last week I had a Nioxin treatment at the hair salon and bought the shampoo, conditioner, and treatment. Now I am hardly losing anything.

I think my hair loss was due to a really really poor diet over the summer and in the fall I fasted for 2 weeks -- twice.

The supplements seem to be working for me, but I can swallow anything right now, so size is not an issue.

Good luck.
