Hello there! While I understand your concern for hair loss I have to inform you
that there is inadequate information on whether Biotin supplementation will
solve your problem. Indeed one has not come across any scientific data that categorically states that biotin intake has specifically reversed hair loss in patients.So, while biotin is widely publicised as therapy for hair fall I would rather
advise you to consult a dermatologist and then proceed from there. All the best!
