Biotin! I swear by it. I take Nature Made 5000mg one daily. Some of them on the market are horse pills, and this one is small about the size of a tic tac. Takes about two months for the levels to build up but it does wonders for hair, skin, and nails :)

I also take Biotin 1000mcg it's Cherry flavored and disolves, tastes great. Start taking them now, you will notice a difference in your nails immediately.

Yep. I'm a Nail Technocian and part owner of a hair salon. I recommend Biotin to all my clients. I take 10,000 mg. extra strength once a day. My hair is growing like crazy.

I was also really worried about my hair. I did lose quite a bit, but it just became thinner. It really isn't something anyone but you will notice. It was totally worth it. I'm also taking Biotin and now it's starting to grow back, so it's not permanent. It doesn't happen to everyone, but if it does, it won't be as bad as you probably think.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
