A member asked:
Had a bald patch on the crown and i used biotin 5000-10000mcg daily and i see improvements (regrowth). will this be sustainable or do i need minoxidil?

Biotin : There is a lack of strong evidence for the efficacy of biotin for hair loss. Perhaps it works in some cases but it is not strongly scientifically proven.
