Beyond folic acid, biotin (vitamin B7) is the most commonly discussed supplement for hair loss related to methotrexate. It's known to support healthy hair growth and can be found naturally in foods like:
- Whole grains
- Unrefined rice

- Egg yolks
Biotin is also available as a dietary supplement and is sometimes added to shampoos and conditioners. One myRAteam member shared: "You might want to try biotin for your hair. It has helped with the texture of my hair, and I have less fall out. I am on methotrexate and also take folic acid."
It's worth noting that some dermatologists are skeptical about biotin's effectiveness for hair growth, so results can vary from person to person.
Always talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement to make sure the dosage is right and it won't interfere with your treatment plan.
