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!  (Cross-posted to the Food for Hair Forum) |

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. Keep us posted on this!!! -------------

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.------------- |
