Biotin

Biotin is vitamin B7, and it is the supplement most often bought here for hair fall and brittle nails. Doses on the shelf run from 5,000 mcg to 10,000 mcg, and many products add collagen, keratin, zinc or other B vitamins. The honest position: biotin helps when someone is genuinely short of it, which is uncommon, and does much less for hair fall caused by pattern hair loss, illness, crash dieting or pregnancy. If your hair fall is sudden, patchy or heavy, a doctor can find the cause faster than a supplement can fix it. For pattern hair loss, minoxidil is the treatment with the evidence behind it. One practical warning: biotin can distort thyroid and cardiac blood test results. Tell your doctor you take it, and stop a few days before testing if advised.
