Collagen? Nay or Yea?

[LisaLisa]

I am post menopausal and have noticed somse hair loss but have not really worried about it until I read here that WLS causes it as well. Would it be beneficial to start with collagen now (about 6 weeks pre surgery) to get my body shored up or will it not matter since no doubt I'll have to stop it while I recover? Those huge capsules aren't going to fare well in a smaller, healing stomach. Right now I've been taking Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, Nails supplement with 5,000 mcg of Biotin and it has certainly made my nails stronger, but am thinking collagen maybe be a smarter choice at this point and in the future. Thank you.

I've been taking 2 biotin a day st 10000 ml. Im hoping that will help me not lose any hair. I stared 2 months before surgery. I am 3 weeks out of surgery and I get so scared to brush my hair. So far nothing huge but I know the time frame is around 3-6 months after surgery. I don't lose any!

I use collagen. I get unflavored and add it to all sorts of things, although I will say that it is best used in savory items as opposed to sweet - I notice flavor when I use it in anything sweet.
