A member asked:

If you not pregnant, but taken prenatal vitamin to promote hair growth. do you need to take a additional biotin vitamin because it only has 500mcg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to help: The vitamins you are taking are unlikely to help with growth of hair. Adding Biotin is not expected to make any difference. You may wish to consult your doctor for other options like Rogain foam or pills
