Add the right supplements There's a good amount of pressure out there to take biotin for hair growth but unless you actually have a biotin deficiency (which is rare in the Western world), the body will simply excrete what it doesn't need, which is sort of a waste of money. Engelman, who has always been very conservative when it comes to recommending hair growth supplements, is a fan of Nutrafol, $88 per bottle via subscription. "I was a little more skeptical as many doctors are about supplements; there are a lot out there, and you can put a claim on a bottle and most people will buy it without studies. But when I read the studies, talked to the formulators and creators, and saw the clinical trials — which were impressive, I started recommending it. The results are way beyond what I thought was possible from a 'non-pharmaco' drug intervention. I can tell you that not one of my patients that has started using it has discontinued it, which I cannot say for anything else I prescribe or suggest."
