Best Chewable vitamins to fight hair loss



Recommended Posts

Biotin is what my NP recommended for me; I don't know that it comes in chewable form, but it does come in a sublingual form. Also, be sure to take your bariatric mulitvitamin. I'm sure that helps too.

Biotin, but there are some conflicting reports of it not actually doing anything (I still take it daily).

It's important to note that Hair loss can be caused by stress and not a deficiency in Vitamins as well. The stress associated with a major surgery can cause your body to pump out hormones that cause our hair to enter a "resting" phase. So, it's possible that no matter what you take, it won't have an actual effect on your potential hair loss. I'm hoping against hope that I don't lose anything, it's taken me quite a while to get my hair where it is now... and I don't want to lose a bunch of the beard either!
Good luck!

"telogen effluvium has to do with stress to the body and hormonal changes that can occur. Due to the stress more hair follicles can enter into the resting phase. This is important because the hair in the resting phase at the time of surgery is most likely the hair you will shed. This is why your hair sheds between 1 to 6 months after surgery (usually about3 to 4 months). When the hair starts to grow again the old hair follicle is released and you lose hair. Sometimes the hair comes out before new hair grows, yikes!"

I haven’t had any Hair loss (6months). My nutritionist attributes it to hitting my nutrition goals (protein). I do take 2 chewable Centrum complete Vitamins daily, Vitamin D, B12, Calcium and they test us every couple months for nutrition labs. I also started Biotin maybe 2 months ago due to breaking finger nails (it helped), so that could be a factor.

I haven’t tried them but I see a lot of people online raving about these Sugar Bear Vitamins.

There are dissolvable Biotin pills, I just ordered mine off of Amazon

Thanks, good to know. I have pretty thick hair, but I don't want to lose any of it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
