I have heard Biotin is a good supplement

Protein is the key. Twice a day if your working out. Biotin does help.

What is biotin

Carlak- Biotin is another name for Vitamin H. It helps strengthen your hair and nails. Some foods like cauliflower, bananas, carrots, egg yolk and sardines have biotin. My doc recommended I have two supplements daily.

I also take 2 shakes a day.

My hair thin-out just a bit. Hope this helps.

Carlak start taking biotin ASAP as soon as you can the hairloss for me was very interesting it shed a lot of hair but eventually slowed down and stopped now I have the random tiny hairs that are currently all over my head about 2-3inches of regrowth and it's fun to see but I wish I would have had a fortifying aid like biotin- and had taken everyone's advise and given my body more protein vs comfort foods like soup that just made me feel relief from digestion - good luck and don't worry too much about the hair loss it will happen but won't leave you bald or anything like that it will just get thinner

Will it grow back and get back to it's original thickness? Is there a point I should worry? How long is it going to fall out for ?

Does anyone suggest taking it before surgery?

Take biotin the hair falls out but don't be scared one day it just stops mind went on for about 3mos- by the six post surgery mark it was good and it started at the third month - I'm needed to take more biotin !!! Or some all together !! Take it and it gets better and my hair a year later feels back to normal

Can we take vitamins right away after surgery? Does it digest well?
