Biotin for hair loss



Recommended Posts

Has anyone started taking Biotin yet for Hair loss? And how much is a worthwhile dose. I just bought 1000 MCG 333%. I got the under the tongue meltables, 1 a day. I am still pre op and don't have a date yet, but after reading alot, everyone is saying that they started losing their hair around 4-5 months out & it lasted for a good 3 to 4 months...don't know if Biotin will help, but if I start now?? Is there anything else that you could recommend?

Too funny, I did the same thing!! I am preop too, with no date yet but thought I would go ahead and start. I'm taking 5,000 twice a day!

Figured it might not help but couldn't hurt!

Good luck!

Yes I take it...... started 5 months pre-op. 1000 MCG which my NUT said was adequate. My niece, sister, and co-worker were sleeved and all took Biotin pre-op (are still taking it) and lost hair but not as much as it could have been. Their hair looks great and I would have not known they lost any hair.

A good multi Vitamin will help too.

Good luck!

I've been taking the Biotin about 1-1/2 mos now but haven't seen a change (not having srg til 11/13) but from what I am seeing I'm not taking near enough. I was just trying to make my hair a little thicker because it's so fine. I'm not really afraid of losing hair - already been there done that with breast ca so you never have a bad day - just wear temp tattoos on your scalp! :)

      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.
