QuoteReplyTopic: Biotin! Posted: April 25 2006 at 7:29pm
For the past few years I've been regularly tweaking my supplementation regimen and made a "startling" discovery recently.
For the past 4 months, I've upped my intake of protein, since I've been
exercising more vigorously. But a month or two ago, when I upped my
supplemental biotin intake from 1030 mcg (combined) to 10,430 mcg
(combined), I noticed that my hair fallout rate was roughly halved!
This was a huge discovery for me, since within the past year my hair
has reached a statis (not getting any longer - new growth only kept up
with fallout). Now I have hopes of getting thicker hair -- or at
least, another leg up in my fight against (future?) male-pattern
baldness. Yay!

Wow Dave...that is a HUGE increase in Biotin! Have you had any side effects from that dosage (besides decreased shedding...which I would call a GIFT!)? I wonder also if your hair will get longer now?? If the shedding has decreased, then the hairs will have a chance of growing longer before they fall out.
Nastasska and Rini, I've noticed absolutely no adverse effects at all. Super pleased with the results. If anything changes on this matter, I'll let you know.
