For full 7 months, I had to take medications for a severe headache I was suffering from. That terrible headache was just one symptom of postpartum depression, which started after I gave birth to my son. Medications, loss of appetite and breastfeeding, all contributed to losing nearly 50% of my hair!
It was scary to watch handfuls of my hair falling, and as it was thinning, I was sinking more and more into depression. I used to think, “Am I the only one in this world losing my hair? Could it be possible to recover from this?”
In an attempt to help grow my hair, I cut it many times, but it was still thin. I tried few vitamin supplements, including Omega 3 and Viviscal, but I did not get the results I was looking for. Were hair extensions a good option at this stage? Well, there is nothing like natural healthy hair, don’t you think so?
It was not until I had the chance to apply for trying Biotin from Eu Natural through Sverve, through which I received a full retail supply of Biotin that is 4 months supply, in addition to Vibrance Vitamins for Hair Growth.
My father, who is also my doctor 🙂 assured me that those two vitamin supplements are a good combination for growing hair faster and healthier.
Let us take a look at the ingredients of Biotin by Eu Natural:
On the other hand, Vibrance Vitamins for Hair Growth contains many natural ingredients:
After I consulted my doctor, he advised me to take both, and since Biotin should be taken with food while Vibrance Vitamins for Hair Growth should be taken before a meal, I used to take 2 capsules of Vibrance Vitamins for Hair Growth before breakfast, and one Biotin capsule during breakfast. In case I forgot, I took them on launch. I did not have any stomach pain or nausea, which is good.
For accurate results, I measured the length of my hair before and after taking Eu Natural supplements, and I was very happy to find out that my hair’s length increased by 1 inch (2.5 cm).
The size of Vibrance hair supplements might be a little bit big for some. I did not have any difficulties swallowing them, but if you are from those who might not be able to swallow big sized capsules, you can still take Biotin alone and get very good results.
I am very happy with the results I got so far. Moreover, I am definitely going to continue taking Biotin 5000 mcg (for Hair Growth, Skin, and Nails) for the next 3 months. I am also planning to purchase another Vibrance Vitamins for Hair Growth
What would you prefer: taking vitamin supplements for hair loss, or using hair extensions? Have you ever take hair dietary supplements? Tell me about it in the comments.

Oh my goodness, Dima! I didn't know that your hair fell out after your pregnancy. Unfortunately, it is somewhat common but very very upsetting at an already difficult time. I'm so glad that the supplements are working and your hair is growing longer and stronger! I have been taking biotin (2500 mcg) for about 2 years now. It has really helped my nails that had been cracking vertically. Now they are normal again. And my hair, which always grew thick and fast, is even growing faster. Good stuff! Great review :)
Yes, it could be frustrating and that particular time, but I am much better now, thanks!
Good for you, Biotin is one of the best dietary supplements for hair.
I truly hope that you will see this post. It's been quite awhile since you did this review, which is wonderful by the way.
I need your help.
Due to premenopause and an antidepressant I was given for nerve pain. I've lost so much hair.
I've always loved to have different hairstyles and highlights and lowlights. I was never scared to try something new.
People would tell me I was brave having different hairstyles. I would always say "it's just hair, it will grow back"
Well it's not growing back.
I believed in trying new things and having fun with my hair.
I never did anything too crazy with the chemicals because I didn't want to damage my hair, plus my hairdresser wouldn't let me.
Well now as I sit here with extremely thin hair on top.
I haven't been to the hairdressers in almost 6 months.
I'm so depressed and self conscious now.
I rarely leave my house unless it's for work.
I have MS and that may contribute to my hair loss as well and my very stressful job.
I would love to go to a dermatologist and figure out exactly what is going on, but that's just not in my budget. All Doctor visits are for the MS and arthritis in my spine and hips.
Anyway, I totally believe in biotin and supplement and I'm looking for the best biotin supplement.
I've seen your review on several and I was wondering what your favorite is?
I do not expect a miracle, but at this point I will take anything.
I want my life back.
Currently I'm taking Vegatal Silica. I'm on my second bottle.
I really love it because I've noticed a change in my skin and hair.
I think I need to add biotin to it.
Please let me know your favorite brand.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi Cindy,
Cindy, I truly understand how hard it is to see your hair falling, I also suffered from falling hair more than once in my life. As mentioned in my review that you have read earlier, medication could ruin your hair, still, there is a good chance that you recover and get your hair back.
You should understand that STRESS is so bad for your overall health, including your hair and skin, so you should try to be more optimistic, and try to relax from now and then. I understand you could be in pain, but you should always see the glass half full.
Being positive in your life is so important, this is something I have learned after suffering from depression, you know, medications can never do wonders if you did not believe in yourself.
I think you should talk about your hair problem with your doctor, maybe he/she could switch medications for less harmful ones.
To answer your question about biotin, I am currently taking Zenwise Labs Hair Growth vitamins, this contains both biotin, and a variety of vitamins, so I would save some money, and get both without taking too many pills every day.
My hair stopped falling after using it, same as for the other multivitamins that I reviewed on my blog, but as mentioned before, Zenwise Labs Hair Growth vitamin saves money, too. It will take a few months to see your hair growing longer as hair normally grows by around half an inch per month, so be patient.
Here is my review if you would like to read more about this product:
Zenwise Labs Hair Growth Vitamins Review
My hair loss problem is over now! Read my story for details on how I got healthier hair, longer eyelashes, and stronger nails through this vitamin supplement.
Something else that you should do is that you should wash your hair regularly, I usually do every other day, because oily scalp may cause oil to clog pores and weaken your hair.
Thanks for putting this together. Biotin indeed helps in increasing follicle growth for healthier hair.
Hair fall is so frustrating. Glad we have the option to take supplement that will help with hair growth. Thanks for sharing!
