I was taking Biosil after my transplant to combat the hair loss (lost about 1/2 my hair). However, my transplant pulmonologist checked with the transplant pharmacist and found that Biosil boosts immunity. So I stopped taking it right away. Every time that your body has a shock like having COVID (first time I lost half my hair) or having a transplant (lost another half before getting it back from the first time), you can loose hair. I have used The Original Hair Serum, which is topical so no issue with boosting immunity. I am not sure if it really does anything though. However, your hair will come back in. It is a natural process for your hair to fall out when the body is in "shock". Unfortunately, mine came back in with a bit of a different texture and drier than before.
@bencures i had a lot of hair loss for the first year after my transplant. I think it’s from the trauma of a major surgery. I was worried too, but in time it went back to normal.
