Anyone Take Biotin?

SummerBride, on April 27, 2010 at 9:11 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10

I've heard that the vitamin Biotin can help hair growth and nails. Has anyone tried it? I just bought a bottle and its 5000mcg capsules. Is this much of it healthy to take?

    I've never taken it but I've been taking prenatal pills for a while (even though i'm not pregnant) and it's been great for my hair/nails.

    I've taken it. It does work but you have to be consistant. But I don't know the dosage. I took two of those a day.

    I take the 5000mg tablets every day. Biotin is the stuff that's in prenatals that really works for your hair and nails. I definitely have faster hair growth, and the pills are totally safe. Keep in mind though that faster hair growth for some people can be faster hair growth everywhere.

    I take 5000mg a day. I have to cut my nails every week they grow so fast. Hair seems to be growing like crazy, but it is not getting thicker... which that is what I am wanting! Take it for about a month and you will tell a difference. My skin is great BTW!

    I am taking 5000mcg as well. It has worked great as far as length. My hair was already thick so that wasn't an issue. My nails are growing but are still thin and brittle so I end up cutting them every three days. I read alot about Biotin before I started taking it and from what I can tell it is safe and you can't really "OD" on it which was my major concern.

    I take MSM Methylsulfonylmethane It WORKS and my nails are super strong the were always brittle before.

    From the web site: MSM has great value as a super nutrient. The sulfur provided by MSM is required for healthy collagen and keratin, which in turn are essential for healthy hair which can grow well. It has been widely used as a dietary supplement without any major side effects. Without proper levels of MSM, our bodies are unable to build healthy cells. MSM provides the body with sufficient nutrients to maintain a healthy body and healthier hair.

    No you don't need an rx for prenatals. They are available at basically any store that has pharmacy otc products :-)

    (PS--I used to work retail pharmacy haha!)

    Like Jlam said prenatals are VERY helpful!! When I was pregnant I took them (of course lol) and my hair grew 4 inches in about a month. They work & quick!
