I have thinning hair. My hair has become less and less. Have been tried a lot of things. A few weeks ago, while chatting with my friend, she told me that she uses biotin for her hair and show result, so I want to try too.
So what biotin is?
Biotin is part of the water-soluble B-complex vitamins. As a group, the B-complex vitamins help the body convert carbohydrates into fuel used for energy. They help metabolize fats and proteins, and aid in proper function of the nervous system. The B vitamins are necessary for healthy skin, hair, eyes and liver.
Function of Biotin
Biotin, also called vitamin H, works as a coenzyme in the metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates. There are five biotin-dependent enzymes involved in the energy cycle. Biotin is important for embryonic growth, making it a crucial nutrient during pregnancy. As a supplement, biotin is used for preventing and treating biotin deficiency resulting from pregnancy, long-term tube feeding, malnutrition and rapid weight loss. Cosmetically, biotin is used for healthy hair, nails and skin.
After doing some searching, finally I buy Natrol Biotin 10000mg.
There are a lot of review of this supplement :
"I sufferd from hair loss for 2 months, I tried so many things and visited so many doctors but with no results. After using this, I can really say that it's really works well! I can see the difference,less hair loss and my hair started to look healthier"
"Only purchased this product about a month ago and i did purchase it because i have seen many blogs and youtuber's raving that it speeds up hair growth. As i'm trying to grow long locks that i haven't been able to grow in the past. As its only been a month or so I have already noticed my hair growing faster than it was before but even more impressive is the rate the my nails were growing... I have to cut them from super long to short at least once a week and not only do they grow long fast they also grow healthy and extremely strong. The nail does not break and become brittle. I was sceptical about using the maximum dosage as you don't exactly know what effects it might have on your body but it does not have any side effects nor ill feelings or changes within the body. A fantastic product for the short amount of time i have been using it and will definitely be continuing to use it until my hair is at desired length."
"noticed there is some difference in my hair, nail and my skin as well...my skin is more supple and super smooth...my nails are thick and lustrous...I noticed differences in my hair as well...my hair is thicker shinier and smoother than before...I too noticed some growth in my beard..."

I read that some reviewers say they breakout after taking this high dosage biotin. So I cut the tablet into half and I take 1 time a day. After two weeks there is no signs of breakout (thanks God) so I begin taking 1 tablet a day.
Hair still thin and fall out too, but I see there are lots of hair coming from my scalp. I also notice that my hair becomes shinier.
I hope my hair will be thicker soon.
