    i was wondering the same. i asked my doc about it and he said that hair loss should not be an issue as long as i'm getting in enough protein. i have not experienced any more hair loss than i typically

i need to stat taking biotin too!! im about 4 months out of surgery and have lost almost 60lbs and my hair is falling out soooo much due to my rapid weight loss and honestly i havent been taking my multi vitamins regularly but now that my hair is falling out so much i am scared into taking my vitamins and what ever it takes to stop my hair loss

it is scary to think of losing ones hair. you have lost a huge amount of weight. i hope that taking the vitamins deals with the hair loss really quickly.

Honestly I never did...dec 21 2010... My hair actually became thicker and shinier. Make sure you ate taking your vitamins and intake of protein including liquid protein. So important:)

I forgot to add that I decided to take the slow turtle route with many adjustments and slower weight loss. I started at 268 in December 2010...I am 190 now... But finally in the real green zone, my hair may start getting thin now that I'm at 5.5 cc things a little harder to get through, got to concentrate on healthy proteins I think now!

What size tablets does biotin come in? Does it have to be crushed?
