I found that hair loss is not from a lack of protien. It is from a lack of Silica! You find silica in whole grains. Since we don't eat them we need to replace them. You can find dietary supplements at health food stores. This will also help your skin nails and bones!
Since I have started taking this my hair does not fall out as long as I dont miss taking it! I went on vacation and forgot it and in 2 days my hair was falling out again!
what is it called, i'm terrified of losing my hair, i have very thin hair to begin with and would be great to know what i can do...
Biotin - just bought a bottle for my up coming surgery. It's a B vitamin complex. Numerous benefits. One is hair & the other is a blood sugar stabilization effect. Like intrinsic factor, biotin is not manufactured well without a fully functioning stomach. Also, high Ph from taking antiacids will also limit the B vitamins. We need these to prevent hair loss and anemia - among other things. If you are low on energy get some!!:D
You want to make sure what you get has silica in it too!
My nutritionist recommended Hair, Skin and Nails supplement in addition to Biotin. I just purchased both yesterday at Walgreens. I bought the Nature's Bounty brand of the Hair, Skin and Nails
I picked up the store brand of Biotin. I hope it works because my hair is thinning quickly! :(
GNC Ultra Mega Women's vitamin (when you can take pills again) has a hair & nail supplement right in the multivitamin
Can you take these pills after having your sleeve? And if you have to wait to take pills, how long must you wait?
you can get it in liquid form too.
should i take the silica in addition to the biotin? im taking 7500 mcg biotin and its for hair skin and nails. just wondering if i need both my hair is really thin already. i cant afford for it to fall out.
Thanks! I just got the skin, hair and nails today
I've been taking 1,000 mg of silica, and 2,000 mcg of biotin every day since a month before my surgery. My hair still started thinning at 4 months. Does anyone have any real guidance from a nutritionist on how much we should be taking, or how much would be too much?
You are going to have some hair loss because your body is in shock! If you don't get enough protein, silica and biotin you would have a whole lot more hear loss!Quote:

I did not start losing my hair until four months out. I was only told to keep my protein up not about the rest. I did not start taking it til after four months. If I miss for a few days I can tell!
You look great!!!
