    Biotin?

    Has anybody tried this supplement, and experience any improvement with this vitamin?

    I take it, it helps hair look better and maybe hair health.

      Yup, I take a 5000mg of it on a daily basis. It's good for alopecia. I'd also suggest looking into Vitamin A as well. Will also help with hair growth, and vision.

            I have read on many sites that Biotin mega dosing can cause oily skin and deep pimples so that is another concern to consider.

                  biotin in moderation

                  I used to take about 5mg of biotin a day but it REALLY broke me out! I had to take steroids to get rid of it. It was really bad. But my nails grew soooo fast. Like every week I had to cut them..seriously and normally I would cut them once a month. I couldn't tell on my hair b/c I have been wearing hair extensions but it's a fact that if your nails are growing it's doing the same for your hair- unless you have other issues that prevent that. After that I was really afraid to take biotin again so I waited about a month and started at much lower doses- I now take 2mg a day. Let's see what happends . Oh, and I also pair it with 1 tablet of MSM.

                  Has anyone tried Silica or Selineum? I know of a few ladies that are faithful to these supplements.

                    im taking 900 mcg's of biotin per day, is that too much???

                    what do you guys consider too much or "mega dosing" as perplexed put it?

                    if the only bad thing it may do is mess up my skin then i dont care as long as it helps my hair in any way.

                    ive been taking it for a while now, make my nails and hair grow faster and HAS NOT done anything to my skin.

                      Also it matters the brand of biotin you take. B/c not all brands are true to their potency. The first time I took it it didn't affect me at all but the brand I have now is what caused my breakout. So I believe I will continue to purchase the brand I have now b/c it is definitely effective.
