Taking supplements at high doses may be harmful to your health. It also will not likely treat any hair loss issues. See a doctor if you have concerns.
Because it's so rare to be biotin deficient, there is no recommended daily allowance or RDA. 15 mg dose is extremely high. I would advise to check with your physician before commencing. if you are truly deficient in biotin, supplementing could be a good idea.
Biotin deficienc is typically seen in the pediatric populationand the association with adult (female or male) hair loss is WEAK. Biotin deficiency can causehair loss as one of its symptoms (along with seborrheic dermatitis, dry skin,brittle nails, fatigue, intestinal tract issues, muscle pains, and nervoussystem problems). Even a cursorysearch of the available medical literature will demonstrate that Biotin deficiency is also RARE amongthe adult population.Therefore, widespread supplementation with Biotin is likely unnecessaryand unlikely to improve hair growth. An exception to this would be those patients consuming large amounts ofegg whites (i.e. more than 20 raw egg whites per day over a period of weeks tomonths) or with absorption problems (i.e. on parenteral nutrition etc.), andexcessive/prolonged antibiotics and anti-seizure medications.Fear not though, Biotin (AKA Vitamin Hand B7) is water soluble, so taking excess Biotin from a costly supplement onlyresults in expensive urine...GOOD LUCK!
I went to Wikipedia to look up your question and through you should read about Biotin in the web reference below.
I would be interested in taking a look at the scalp under magnification.We have had great results at bringing hair out of shock with Capillus 272.If we were not able to bring the hair back non surgically, hair transplants could potentially be performed.
A normal head of hair can shed up to 100 hairs per day.If you only wash your hair 1 x per week then you will notice more loss upon shampooing that 1 time.Does that make sense?
If you have a bad reaction to a drug it can cause hair loss. Minoxidil is a drug that can irritate your skin.If minoxidil grows hair and you stop using it, the hairs the grew will likely fall off.
