Supplement with Biotin

Take 2500-5000mcg of biotin daily with food. Available over the counter at any pharmacy or health food store.

Why It Works

Biotin supports keratin infrastructure, the protein that makes up hair strands. While severe biotin deficiency is rare, mild insufficiency may contribute to hair fragility during telogen effluvium recovery. Supplementation is low-risk and widely recommended by dermatologists as a supportive measure.

Tips

• Inform your doctor — biotin interferes with certain lab tests including thyroid panels and cardiac troponin
• Stop biotin 48 hours before any blood work
• Most effective when combined with a balanced diet and other targeted treatments
