Is there really a point in taking Biotin?

All it does is grow you hair (and nails) faster, not thicker...therefore does it serve any other benefits for people with thinning hair?

[Follicle Death Row]

Some people swear by it when growing out transplants but does it do anything for thinning hair? I highly doubt it. The whole supplement industry is a bit sketchy. A lot of BS really. With a decent diet you'll get your RDA for everything. I'd pass on it.

Ye it would make sense to take after a hair transplant in order to grow your new hair fast or if you get a bad haircut for example and want your flow back...other then that i dont think theres a point..

I was on biotin on and off for weeks to months..
Higest doses - 10,000 units daily.
I sadly can't say it did anything visible during this time.
Might be good as an additional supplement but don't look for miracles in biotin, that would be the advice from my own experience.

Yes it is good, and MSM as well. Not for hair loss, but I think if you're using Finasteride and Minoxidil or the big 3, if you use Biotin/MSM I think what ever hair is gonna regrow, Biotin/MSM can speed it up.

That's just what I think, using common sense.

I think it does help
