I have had severe hair fall for 8 months, and my blood tests are normal, except that I did not check biotin levels. Can I use Apollo Life Biotin 5000 mcg tablets to control hair fall?

Biotin tablets help only when hair fall is caused by a true biotin deficiency, which is rare, so taking high dose biotin without confirming a deficiency may not improve your hair fall and can interfere with some lab tests. Since long-lasting hair fall often has other causes such as genetics, stress, scalp issues, hormonal changes, or nutritional gaps, it is better to check your scalp and hair condition with a dermatologist or trichologist first, so the appropriate treatment can be started rather than relying solely on biotin.

I understand that dealing with severe hair fall can be distressing.

Regarding the use of Apollo Life Biotin 5000 mcg tablets:

  • Biotin (Vitamin B7) is known to support hair health by promoting growth and strengthening hair strands. It also benefits skin and nails.
  • Since your blood tests are normal, it suggests no obvious underlying deficiency, but biotin levels are not commonly included in standard blood panels.
  • Biotin supplements are generally safe for adults and do not require a prescription.
  • However, hair fall can have multiple causes such as hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or scalp conditions, so biotin alone may not fully address the problem.

Recommendations:

  • You may consider trying biotin supplements as part of your hair care routine, but it is best to do so under the guidance of a dermatologist or trichologist (hair specialist).
  • They can evaluate your hair fall more comprehensively, possibly recommend a biotin test if needed, and suggest other treatments or lifestyle changes.
  • Maintain a balanced diet rich in Indian staples like dals, millets, seasonal vegetables, and spices that support overall nutrition.
  • Avoid harsh hair treatments and manage stress to help reduce hair fall.

Please consult a dermatologist to get a personalized assessment and appropriate treatment plan for your hair fall.
