Biotin is a MUST in my surgeons requirements. I take 6,000 micro mg' a day = no shedding.

My doctor didn't mention this but do we need to get their approval to take or can we take it additional? I def need to find out my hair just started growing back thick prior to surgery so def need to find this out, I have some just haven't used it ....

I'm so glad you said that because I decided to get a sew in this weekend because of the shedding...and I will check my other vits to see how much biotin is in them so I can figure out how much more to add
