source of biotin - #28233
I am really worried about my hair health lately. About two months ago, I noticed my hair thinning out and getting super brittle. I guess I’ve been kinda stressed, but I also think I haven’t been eating very well. My friend mentioned that I might be lacking biotin and told me to look into the source of biotin in my diet. I mean, I thought I was eating a decently balanced diet but now I’m not too sure. I did some research and learned that eggs, nuts, and whole grains are a source of biotin. But honestly, I don’t eat a ton of eggs, and I’m not really a big fan of nuts. I started taking a biotin supplement a few weeks ago, but I don’t even know if that’s enough or if I’m on the right track. What I’m really confused about is what the best source of biotin really is? Like, can I get enough just from food, or do I need to keep taking supplements? Also, how quickly can I expect to see changes if I do up my source of biotin? I’d love to hear what you all think, especially if you’ve dealt with similar hair issues. Thank you!
