I am 2 1/2 months post op and losing hair already. My hair is already thin becuase of my thyroid and now Im losing even more. I have been using the fall fight shampoo and conditioner but apparently not working. I was int he store and there are so many different kinds of Biotin. What kind and what dose do people use?

I use Nature's Bounty. It's 5,000 megs. I take one per day. I love them because they are very small. This week, until Saturday, CVS has them on sale. Buy one get one free. I get the big bottle that has 150 in it so I get almost a year's supply for about $20.

I used the 5000 iu dose from Nature's Bounty for the first 5 months, since then I reduced to the 1000 iu dose. Seems to be doing ok.

10000 Walmart brand (Spring Valley) & their prenatal vitamin for my hair. I started styling my hair less & using little to no products. I started using Biotin/Collagen Organix shampoo/conditioner (purple bottle Walmart)...I am right now 13 weeks...and dread this hair loss...it hasn't started yet, but it is inevitable. Best of luck to all of us with our hair!

I was taking 10K mcg's up until a couple weeks ago. When my hair started falling out by major handfulls a couple weeks ago, I upped it to 20K mcg's. Hair is still falling out like crazy.

How much per day should we be taking?
