HCG Hair Loss Question
HCG – Hairloss ?? My Experience – and it is a GOOD one! !
Question – what do you know about the potential risk of hair loss on HCG and how it is related to taking vitamins/supplements?
My Answer – I experienced the opposite with HCG in regards to hair loss. Before I knew about HCG I did a long fast and hair loss I started to experience got really scary. When I got on HCG the loss stopped. I figured it would be similar to when I was pregnant and I might need to be prepared for some loss once I was done with hcg.I’m very happy to report that didn’t happen.As far as supplements I have taken supplements for hair the entire time along with extra biotin. I encourage anyone who is starting HCG to also take MSM (preferably the liquid form) I wish I had taken it from day one. Because we release the fat rapidly on this protocol the MSM helps our skin tighten. Now back to the hair,someone in the past commented to me that she thinks the loss my also depend on if menopause is also part of the mix. I’m not at that point in my life so I have no idea. One last thing I want to mention is the types of HCG that are out there. Since so many new “types” have sprung up recently my only other concern is the same as Dr S had in Pounds and Inches. If you are doing the 500 VLCD and not taking HCG (the real deal) you will be starving yourself. I’m sure if you starve yourself there will be hair loss.Not having hunger isn’t the only thing real HCG is doing. Burning the abnormal fat for energy is what makes the protocol so wonderful.
The “Stinky” Vitamin -LOL-But Boy does it ever WORK!

Hair loss on any diet could be the result of not eating enough protein. Try to get the highest amount of protein you can get each day if you’re experiencing hair loss and ask your doctor about it!
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate you taking the time to help!
Hi Colleen, I wanted to reach out as I just recently found your VLOG – and this site. I started HCG on June 13th – and lost 30 lbs in 40 days. Which was amazinig. After finishing with HCG, I dropped another 10 lbs as I just wasn’t eating a lot of food. I have since started working out every day and eating a lot more and my weight has stabilized between 134 and 138. I am very pleased. However, last week – after being done with HCG for a month, I started losing a LOT of hair. I had thyroid testing done – everything came back normal except my iron is slightly low. My doctor suggested I take MSM and a hair and nail vitamin. Nothing has changed so far and hair is still falling out rapidly. I also eat a fairly “clean” diet and take good care of myself. But I am totally wigged out about this recent major hair loss. I am here on your site as I am hoping your suggestions for supplements will work well for me and stop this hair loss ASAP. In speaking with other people, do you know how well these remedies worked for them and how long it took hair to stop falling out and growing back? I am going to order everything you have suggested including the BioSil. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your advice. I don’t know anyone else who has tried HCG — and although I am beyond thrilled with the results and my new size 2 clothes – I don’t want to be bald. You have really helped out a lot and I look forward to trying the supplements you suggest. I hope that your sweet dog is continuing to do well on the medication. And that you are well. Again, this message is all over the place as I’m so scattered about this and it’s almost 3 a.m. in Boston — but again, thank you so much for your suggestions. You look amazing and are a sweetheart! Kind wishes, Jennifer
Hi Jnnifer,
Thank you for all your sweet, kind words!
Joy has passed but I appreciate that you wished the best for her. Her passing was hard but helping others keep me going.
For hair – here is the thing, I had really bad hair loss BEFORE Hcg. But this is what I recommend to HCGers or any one going through hair issues.
Biotin – Whether it is a supplement you are taking already or not. And the hair, skin and nails vitamin with MSN sold at Vitacost . I have tried so many but this one along with additional Biotin is the hair “trick” i have found that works. The person that does my hair ALWAYS comments how scared she was for me before. But NOW my hair is like a miracle. Sorry to repeat but my hair loss was before I sis HCG.
Please let me know if I can help further!
colleen 🙂
