Biotin, it's a nutritional supplement to support hair, skin & nail. My hair was thinning at a concerning rate due to side effect of my medication. I started taking 10,000 mcg twice a day, for three months while my body adjusted to the medication. It slowed the hair thinning considerably, then it stopped. Now I just take one dose of 10,000 mcg a day.
