Biotin

June 11, 2004

i was really concerned about losing hair also. my surgeon told me that

biotin really doesn't help all that much. just eat your protein and take your

vitamins. i have been doing that and my hair and nails have been growing like

crazy. i think also that doctors don't want you to use the biotin as a cruch,

they want you to eat and take your supplements.

You can read about Biotin here:

of interest:

" A lack of biotin is rare. However, if it occurs it may lead to skin rash, loss

of hair, high blood levels of cholesterol, and heart problems.

Some conditions may increase your need for biotin. These include:

Genetic disorder of biotin deficiency

Seborrheic dermatitis in infants

Surgical removal of the stomach "

" Biotin is found in various foods, including liver, cauliflower, salmon,

carrots, bananas, soy flour, cereals, and yeast. Biotin content of food is

reduced by cooking and preserving. "

And also note:

" Claims that biotin supplements are effective in the treatment of acne, eczema

(a type of skin disorder), or hair loss have not been proven. "

get home and on the bottle it says it to help with fat reduction, that its a

diet suppliement, so I am confused on how it helps to make hair stronger, any
