    Has anyone experienced hair loss? I am on round two of the HCG diet. On round one of my HCG diet, As was suggested in the Simeon Protocol...I stopped taking supplements/vitamins. After the 21 days of injections and starting the new phase I was out of the habit of taking them, so I did not continue and then I started noticing as I was washing my hair, I had more hair accumulating in my shower drain. And this continued. I was pretty freaked out. I looked up hair loss on the web and found a site that talked of lack of vitamins and hair loss. http://drshapiroshairinstitute.com/blog/2008/06/hair-health-top-8-vitamins-for-healthy-hair/

    So I started back on a great vitamin that had all of them that were discussed in the article and had to by one supplement not in the vitamin, Inositol. So round two I am taking my vitamin and I am taking my thyroid medicine as well which plays another roll in hair loss. So far I have been shedding the lbs while taking these and hopefully no shedding of the hair this time.

    I did a 23 day round of HCG (my first) and experienced the exact same thing you are describing. I did NOT go off my thyroid medication nor my supplements. The hair loss continued for about a month...scared me to death. I started taking Regenemax by OXmogen and my hair loss stopped...also I have tons of new growth. I am on my second 23 day round 9 months later so I am curious as to what will happen. I started taking Regenemax at the beginning of this round!

    Guys, there is alot of info out there about hair loss on this diet. Some experience it, many don't. I took b12 injections weekly duing both of my rounds and didn't notice any hair loss. Hair growth is dependent on protein in the diet. As we know, this diet takes us to the brink of protein deficiency...thus some can see hair loss. My clinic also sells biotin supplements which they say will help with hair loss in those who experience it. From what I have heard, the hair loss is always temporary, and once you increase your protein on p3, they say it grows back. But, I am not a doctor. Hope this helps. Barb

    I was on B12 injections weekly during my 23 day round..... so perhaps, it is something peculiar to a few. Jhhcg, I would love to hear your progress. I am on day 13 of my second 23 day round so I am anxious to see what happens. I don't think I mentioned before, I did NOT see any scary hair loss until almost a month after completing the 23 day round.

    Joanie, thank you for your comments and I noticed my hair loss one month after my first round too. Do you mind me asking where you purchased your RegeneMax? Online or through a DR? I am on day 6 and have lost 8 lbs well 6 if you do not count the two I gained on the gorge days.

    IluvKats, Thank you for the reminder of lack of Protein and hair loss I am taking 5000 Vit b12 each day too.

    I am excited to loss the weight but not the hair. ARG!!!!!

    I got it at People's Pharmacy in Austin Texas. It is not a prescription. You can google Xymogen (oops I spelled it incorrectly in the above post) then type in Regenemax and do a search of where it can be located. If you can't find it near you, try calling People's Pharmacy in Austin, Texas (3 locations) and see if you can purchase it from them. If they won't do it which I doubt, let me know and I will get it for you and send it....it is like 15.00 I think.

    Okay Joanie I owe you a HUGE THANKS! I have now been on RegeneMax three weeks. After one week my hair loss diminished. Thanks goodness. I was seriously freaking out. Now I will let you know how long it is before I feel my hair thickening up. I have a major nail growth going on too. Thanks again.

    I'm so happy for you jhhcg!! Makes you wonder what is different about the regeneMax. But hey, if it works, that is what matters!! I agree with you, losing your hair is not what you signed up for here!! Barb

    You know, I have recently noticed alot of my hair falling out. I have thick hair, but not excited about it falling out all the time as I'm constantly pulling out long hair. I think I'll try that also! Thanks!!
