Biotin question

I would like to start taking Biotin. I am not losing any hair, but I love my thick hair. Will taking Biotin before any hair loss help? How many mcgs are required daily? They are available in many different strenghts. thanks

From what I have been told, Biotin will not prevent hair loss, but will greatly help with the re-growth.  And it WILL grow back.  Not everyone loses hair in great losses and some only SEEM to lose a lot (seeing clumps in shower, etc) but it is not apparent to other people that you have lost hair. 

Thank you so much! I think I will wait and see what happens then.

I also meant to add that Biotin assists protein and fat metabolism for energy use.  It also helps skin and nails in addition to the hair.  According to what I have found, for a regular (non-WLS) male or female, minimum recommended doses of biotin are 30 mcg with no known maximum.  I take 5000 mcg per day.  Not necessarily planned that way, just what I already had at home.  I would imagine a WLS patient would be recommended for the higher doses.  Most multi vitamins already have about 45 mcg's and most bariatric multi-vitamins have around 600 mcg's.  Hope that helpsyou find the range you want to shoot for.

I started taking Biotin early out for my hair regrowth and honestly? It may have helped - maybe not

But I've continued to take it because it has really helped my nails. I take a 2500 mcg. dose daily.
