I've been experiencing severe hair loss, especially with nightfall, and I'm thinking about starting biotin supplements, like a 5000mcg dose, to help with hair growth. I'm also taking triphala to cool down my body and ashvashila for energy right now. I'm a bit worried, though will adding biotin really help with my situation, or is there a chance it might cause any issues with the other stuff I'm taking?
