I've been noticing my hair thinning our quite a bit lately. I am 3 months post op today, so the timing seems consistent with others I've read about. I've been looking for Biotin since before the surgery, bit kind of forgot about it this past month due to our military PCS.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good chewable biotin supplement? I've read that the 5000mg is better than the 1000mg. Is that true?

Thanks -

You can get the sublingual along with b-6 and folic acid. I use one made by Wonder Laboratories. I still have not had any hair loss, but recently contributed it to consumption of tuna and salmon.

I haven't been able to find chewables. The biotin I got from the pharmacy is small enough for me to take without any trouble, though it is 1000mg. I take one per day, as that's what my doctor said was best for me. They're about the size of an asprin (maybe a little more flat).

Just google or word search it. Several places have it. I ordered mine from some Vitamin shop on line,but I will shop around next time because the shipping and handling was as much as the Biotin. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the replies :thumbup:

I actually found some 5000mg capsules at Walmart yesterday that I just open and mix with some applesauce or juice. Hopefully this works for me.

Thanks again.
