Opinions on Biotin?

Hi fellow SPers,

Did any of you take/start taking Biotin to lessen the amount of hairloss? I just started today (the pills are pretty big, so I was affraid the last couple of days). Did anyone take them and not lose their hair at all?

I have some pretty damn thick hair and could probably stand to lose some, but I really don't want to. What are your opinions on Biotin?

I take biotin every day......my hair is better, but I'm not sure if it's the vitamins or just time....either way...I'm glad!

I found some biotin tablets at Target that are tiny, no problem with them at all!

Good to know! I have a whole bottle of them and as soon as I am done with it, I will swing over to Target to get the smaller ones.

I have a feeling I will keep all of my hair if I start to take them now.

I found a chewable/lozenge type Biotin that I take daily. I've always lost hair but don't want to lose more. My hair is thin to begin with and I just DON'T want to go there! Just today, I started to take 2. With some of my supplements I split the doses to make sure I'm absorbing as much as possible. I now do the same with the Biotin.

This is what I'm taking (in case any one cares! LOL!!):

Gummy Children's Multi-Vit (we already had it, it's what my DD takes)
Calcium w/D Chews
Biotin
1 each in the AM, 1 each in the PM (late afternoon/evening)

Liquid Omega
1/2 dose in the AM, 1/2 dose in the PM (one dose is 2tsp)

Acidophilis pill (to keep the health of my intestines w/the weird nutrition)
Diuretic for high blood pressure
1 dose each in the AM (both are small pills)

Best wishes!!
