PamR, I am an avid believer in Biotin because it is something that is healthy for the entire body, bones, hair and nails especially. It does not interfere with any medications either,(thouroughly investigated). Now if it isn't fast enough for you and you still feel you need additional help, before anything else try Women's Rogaine....It is very affordable, easy to use and really works without any side effects either. I am post menopausal and so are many of my women friends and several really bad cases of balding were completely stopped with the Rogaine. I have always had fine hair but lots of it and the Biotin has worked wonders for me.
