I have a receding hairline and overall thin hair on top of my head. I heard that taking biotin and zinc everyday might help this problem. Is this true? How much should I take? Are there any side effects?
Thankss!

If you take the proper doses you should be fine. Vitamin B12 is also great for the hair. There are also laser brushes on the market. The laser penetrates and stimulates, and causes hair growth from what they say. They sell them on ebay alot. Good luck.
