Biotin may strengthen existing hair and reduce hair loss, but it doesn't promote new hair growth. Some users report stronger, darker hair, while others see no benefits or experience acne.

The conversation is about recommending a biotin supplement that includes saw palmetto and possibly copper for hair loss. The user is seeking suggestions for these specific ingredients.

A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.

Oral biotin combined with topical minoxidil may increase hair growth rate, though the study was limited to healthy subjects and did not measure hair density. Some users report personal benefits from biotin, such as faster nail growth and healthier hair, but concerns about acne and study quality were also mentioned.

A user with PCOS experienced hair loss and found success using a triple dose of O.N.E Omega by Pure Encapsulations after discovering low Omega fatty acids. Biotin provided minimal improvement, but the Omega supplement significantly restored hair.
