Mmmmm interesting...I was looking over notes from my options class and I wrote down 5000 mcg Biotin. I bet I'm supposed to be taking that amount now. I emailed one of the instructors, I hope to hear back from them soon. Thanks!

I started taking biotin for almost a year now. I stopped for a couple of months, but have been back on it strong since June. I also take prenatal vitamins, they told that would help with the hair too. Whether or not that is right I have not idea, but I take them anyway. lol

How much biotin do you take on a daily basis:rolleyes:?

I take 5,000 mcg per day in one capsule, but there is more in my multi and more in my hair skin and nails vitamin. I hate to say it, but all of this does nothing. I think I just have expensive pee. My hair fell out when I had band surgery and has never recovered when I had revision surgery. I have new hair coming in, but it's still falling out!

Ok let me ask you this, are you taking in all of your protein:confused1: on top of taking the Biotin?

Yes, I eat over 100 grams of protein per day. My band doctor really stresses the importance of 100 grams of protein per day so I got used to that after I got the band. It's not hard at all to get 100 grams in, since I like my protein shakes and protein bars, and I eat protein with every meal.

I was reading Lysine (amino acid) helps with hair loss. Has anyone tried this?
