MSM Biotin and Zinc Question

[SophieSpector]

tomorrow, well today now, I'm going to invest in buying all my supplements mainly for my hair, scalp and skin but overall health aswell. My hair is falling out quite a bit and I get terrible dandruff, i want to take a holistic approach and treat my inside aswell as outside.

I want to start MSM and biotin and I was wondering if people could advise me on a good dose to start with and how to progress with both

also I was wondering for those who know about biotin and zinc ( apprently zinc helps with the break outs )

what ratio should I be taking of the zinc to biotin?

I take 10,000MCG biotin a day and I dont know but 2 pills of MSM a day...plus a few other vitiman/supplements thrown in for good measure..dont know about zinc though

I take about 5,000 mcg of biotin and just a small amount of zinc and that seems to work well. The biotin has done A LOT to reduce hair fall. I used to lose about 50-70 hairs a day and now I lose about 15-20 :) so I think that is a great idea.

I had thought it was Vitamin C that helped with the biotin break outs I am not sure on that though anyway I take 5 mg of biotin and this is what the label says about my msm supplement.
