My dr said it was fine to take biotin supplements to help ward off hair loss (along with keeping my protein up) but I don't know what dosage to take.. Anyone out there take it with success? How much did you take? I'm 5'4 1/2" female over 50.

pharmacist recommended 10' date='000 mcg per day. Seems to have helped. My hair loss is just about back to normal.[/quote']

How long did it take you, I had surgery June first and I'm loosing do much I'm scared to go bald. I take 10000 a day and other Vitamins and drops for my hair, but nothing seems to be helping and I take in my Proteins too .

My surgeon actually recommended taking Inositol rather than Biotin when I voiced my concerns about hair loss. I haven't tried it yet since I stocked up on Biotin before I heard about the Inositol but once I'm out of Biotin I will definitely try the Inositol.

Let us know what happens

My surgeon does not mention Biotin for hair loss in his notes, instead he says after checking your protein intake try Silica tablets and Zinc which you can get from red meat and raw nuts (also oysters). The notes also mention good fats such as avocado, olive oil, fish and fish oil. Hope this helps!

Where do we find siica tablets? at GNC or vitamin shoppe I guess? Zinc as well....okay...great thx
