How much Biotin is everyone taking post-op? I don't want to take too much or too little.

I am taking two 5000mcg pills per day (little geltabs)

I take 10,ooo mcg daily or 10mg. It basically helps with hair regrowth, skin and nails. My hair grows fast in the wrong place too! LOL

I take GNC Dry capsules, 5,000mcg 4x per week. However, during rapid hair loss I was taking one daily. I've taken other brands as well, and I've found this brand and dose to be the absolute best.

I was instructed by my NUT to take 5000mcg (or 5mg) daily. I also take 60 mg of CoQ10.

Ok I am a very hairy person. Does Biotin make you grow hair everywhere you have a follicle #nervous#

Biotin does not discriminate. It will make hairs every where on your body grow. It has caused an increase in growth in my pubic area, under arms, chin, and eyebrows.

Thanks everybody for let me know to me too.

The 12th is almost here.

Me too! Thank goodness I'm naturally a non hairy person, thanks to my Asian roots - but I have noticed my hair I do have is coming in thicker and I'm having to shave more often than I used to.

I guess its a good trade off for having even more splendid hair on my head! Not only that, my skin is looking really great and my nails grow faster and thicker as well.

My NUT told me to take 2000 mcg a day. She said if you take more than that it's a waist of money because you just lose it in your urine. IDK, I've only been taking it for two weeks.

What hapen with my signature? it's no showing up

I'm worried now on losing my hair as I'm on a clear liquid diet now for 4 weeks (due to complicaitons and issues from my original surgery on 3/5). I can't quite get the Protein bullets down (they are disgusting) and prior to surgery, I've taken Biotin for a long time. I'll have to go back to it (as I've slacked) and check out the mcgs.

Thanks for all of your inputs on this subject and I have to say to "The *Coasting* Super Moderator, holy cow your before and after pix. Wow. Good luck to you all on this journey and thank you for your input!

THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH. I may take Biotin in moderation if necessary. Here comes the sexy bearded lady

Thanks for the information. At least I have an idea what everyone else is taking.
