VIVISCAL/ HAIR LOSS

So I have low thyroid and part of the problem I was having was that I was losing my hair. I got to the point where you could see straight through to my scalp under certain light. It was terrible and even though I started medication, my hair hasn't grown quite to where it was before.

My doctor said I should take a supplement. She said I might benefit from Biotin or Viviscal but she warned that it wasn't a magic solution, only that some people have seen good results. So I ordered Viviscal and I just started taking them this week. Twice daily with food.

They taste like sea creatures. o_O

Is anyone else taking this stuff? Does it work? Any other suggestions for hair loss?
