    Silica & biotin

    Hi Dr,

    I have a question for you.

    I am looking for hair supplements. silica & biotin capsules

    Do you think i can use it specifically when you are planning to do IVF/PGD.

    I also heard that they both reduce hair loss. I read mixed reviews on Silica & biotin capsules.

    Appreciate any response.

    I am not aware of any problem taking either. Silica is ground up sand; biotin is a water soluable vitamin B7; Why are you considering these?

    I am sorry to hear this. Have you been to a hair loss specialist? There are many causes, some of which are hormonal and can be corrected. Best of luck with this. Dr. P
