The Truth About Biotin Supplements and Hair Loss
Biotin supplements are often touted as a solution for hair loss, but according to dermatologist Susan C. Taylor, MD, most people already get enough biotin from their diet. Unless there is a deficiency or underlying medical condition, supplementation is unnecessary and may even interfere with certain blood tests. Instead, individuals experiencing hair loss should consult a board-certified dermatologist to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
