I have recently started taking biotin supplements, which contain other vitamins. I want to know if taking too much can cause hair loss or if you shed more while your body gets used to the vitamins. I have hypothyroidism and anemia and I take medication for both.

Hypothyroidism and anemia are the most likely cause of hair loss in your case rather than vitamin overdose.Vitamin overdose only happens if you take very excessive amount.Taking other suppliments in biotin capsule wont cause.please consult an expert in this matter

Yes, overdoing vitamins and nutritional supplements can cause hair loss. But there may be other causes too. Seek help with skin expert.
