How much Biotin are you all taking to help prevent hair loss? My surgery date is 11-18 and I started taking 5000mg a day. I see the bottle says it can be taken twice a day. Also anyone taking Coromega for hair loss?

Hi,

I take Biotin in a chewable form because it's better absorbed then taking the pills.

I would also spread out the Biotin during the day. Some in the morning and some in the night.

I use Twin Labs Biotin Dots.

Good luck with your surgery and here's to a healthier and happy you.

Thank you! how many milligrams do you take a day? And is it helping at all? Where can I get the chewables? I haven't seen them

GNC has sugar free chewable ones that are 5000mcg's. I take 1'in the morning and one at night. They are about 18 bucks a bag of 30.

Omg, my hair is falling out literally by the handfuls. :'( I'm taking 5000 mg per day, broken up between morning and night. I'm getting so scared that if this keeps up I'll be bald by next month. My hair has always been super thick. Note it's thin and limp. Is there anything else I can take that works?

Have you tried nioxin shampoo set? That's my next purchase

I'm a big believer in homemade bone broth (like chicken stock made with the frame of the bird)...super high in collagen and gelatin for healthy skin and hair.

I have also heard amazing things about Coromega squeeze packets. I guess it's like a pudding consistently and is absorbed well. I think I will be trying it with Biotin when I'm post op. You can find it cheaper on EBay and Amazon. I'd love some more feedback on shampoo, I've heard about Nioxin, but haven't heard to much about any others.

I've heard that Omega 3's are supposed to help too, also keeping up with protein.

I am willing to try anything. My hair is so thin on top that I have to use brown spray shampoo to hide my scalp and I'm still pre op. If I lose a lot it will literally be bald on top! Maybe once I lose weight my hormones will balance out and I will have thicker hair? My hair before I gained so much weight was so thick. Here's hoping
