Can you take biotin for hair loss?
Biotin is another weapon in your arsenal in the fight against hair loss. Biotin is a complex vitamin also known as vitamin H. It is found in many foods including bananas, carrots and mushrooms. A lack of it is not common, unless you suffer from a genetic condition, or your diet is stopping you absorbing it. However, taking it in supplement form increases your chances of winning your battle against hair loss.
What happens if you suffer a deficiency of Biotin
This may show many different symptoms such as a skin rash, hair loss, high cholesterol and heart problems, to name a few. It is very difficult to suffer a natural deficiency though, because of the availability of it in everyday foods. If you suffer from any of these taking biotin for hair loss will help you. However if your diet is not good. Beware. Do not risk a deficiency. If your not sure, it is better to be safe than sorry and take a supplement.

There is no proven link between stopping hair loss and taking Biotin for hair loss, but in studies around 15% of people taking biotin claimed it has stopped balding and hair loss. What does this mean? It means you have a 15% better chance of not losing your hair if you take it. There you have it. Biotin can be found in various types of shampoo and supplements.

where can I find Biotin?
This is no secret. You can find Biotin in both supplements and shampoo. Just so you know, let me pass on to you a little known fact. It is very difficult to see any anyone getting any benefit out of using it in a shampoo. Do you want to know why? It is because you need to consume it to gain any benefit from it at all, and it cannot be absorbed through the skin. So if you buy a shampoo with biotin in, the only way you are going to benefit from it is by drinking it. we both know the answer to that. Therefore you have to take it in supplement form.
why should I take it if there is no proven benefit?
Do not be fooled, the key word here is proven. 15% of people in studies benefited from using it, there is no reason not to take it. If you take it as part of a normal supplement you have nothing to lose. The benefit from it is 15%. That is another 15% chance of growing your hair back, or stopping balding. If you do not take it, then it is 15% less chance of growing your hair back. That is the bottom line. I have given you the information in black and white. Do with it what you will.
