    I have been taking hair supplements for the past 3 years and here is what I have found.

    GNC makes a tablet called "Ultra Nourishair" in formulas for men and women, the pills are taken daily, 2 pills a day. They are HUGE and very hard to swallow, if you have any trouble at all with large tablets, then I wouldn't recommend these. The 2 pills also contain only 1200 micrograms total of Biotin, which is the main supplement needed for hair to grow faster and stronger. You should try to get a minimum of 2500 micrograms of Biotin daily to improve hair's rate of growth and its condition.

    ProCaps labs makes a great supplement called "Hair Skin and Nails" formula, here is the link for that

    http://www.procapslabs.com/pcl/pages/pro...

    This is in capsule form and much easier to swallow. This company, ProCaps labs is also extremely reputable and carries pure and effective products.

    I took GNC's Nourishair for four months, and supplemented it with extra Biotin tablets daily due to its low Biotin content. I took 2500 micrograms extra Biotin with the GNC pills.

    The Procaps hair vites have 2500 micrograms of Biotin in them, and don't really require extra Biotin be taken, but I do take an additional 2500 micrograms of Biotin for a daily total of 5000 micrograms of Biotin.

    My hair is growing in thick and dark and quite quickly. My hair used to be very slow growing, but all of these supplements have really made a difference.

    The only way to really change the health of your hair is by taking supplements that work internally on the follicle where hair is made, any shampoos or oils or other topically applied things do nothing to change hair's structure, that can only happen with systemically provided support, which means supplements that you take internally.......

    Does Biotin Work

  • 6 years ago

    I take biotin daily at 10000mg, it did cause breakouts in my skin after about 2 weeks (having never suffered from them before) but this stopped once my body was used to the biotin. I've noticed my hair feels stronger but I'm not sure it's grown much, only at its normal rate.

    The hair is not just a part of your body and it is a symbol of beauty, status and health. It is important for you to take proper care of your health in order to prevent early hair loss. Learn here https://biturl.im/aU090 It is not a very serious problem and with a little bit of caution you will be able to prevent further hair loss. There are certain uncontrollable factors like pregnancy conditions or certain illness or genetic factors that will result in hair loss. But, this does not mean that you cannot do something about your hair loss.

    I've been taking biotin for a few months after chopping my hair for a short style. My hair is noticeably growing faster than it has ever grown.

    It's all simply a matter of personal preference. I have short hair and guys just like it. And i prefer a guy with short hair over a person with long hair because long tresses tends to make guys look as well girly.

    If you can steer clear of 500 calorie consumption a day you'll be able to drop a new pound weekly.
