Biotin - worth it?

Thanks - no idea breaks out were possible so good to know!

I take a half-dose (recommended - 2 capules, i only take one daily) of good hair-skin-nails vitamin, more balanced than just biotin. Too much biotin can actually cause acne

This along with regular filing has helped my nails tremendously, I wish I had a before picture but this is my hand after using it for about a month:

It will make you break out if you don't drink a ton of water with it.

It helped my nails, but made me break out even worse. Wasn't worth it for me.

My friend did it

Her hair started to grow much faster

It makes my nails grow faster and they seem shinier. Not sure about my hair.

My hair has grown a ton from it. I also take 10000 mcg but only twice a week and with a ton of water each time. I wouldn't recommend taking it daily like the bottle suggests.

My mom swears by it and I've never seen her nails so long. Her hair grows crazy fast too. She takes it religiously...

@MNA I've also been told by medical professionals to not take it while not pregnant. So idk what the discrepancy there is. But I took prenatal vitamins while pregnant and it certainly did wonders for my hair and nails!

Well now I know why I've been breaking out. And it was really helping my hair grow, dang :-(

@FutureMrsC- my doc told me to start prenatal vitamins, and I'm not pregnant. DH and I are TTC, though, and she said docs recommend you take them at least 3 months prior to conception. So it couldn't be very harmful. I've been on them 3 months already.

I tried to take biotin too, but it made me break out real bad.

The thing is though, it might not have made me break out as much if I had taken a lower dosage. You could try it, but try a low dose first.

I took it for a month. It did seem to help my hair and no breakouts but I spotted everyday that I took it. Stopped spotting the day after I stopped taking them.

My sister tried it. It worked wonders for her. Grew new hair (her hair was falling out and she had some almost bald patches)! I tried it....it gave me terrible acne! I used Mane and Tail (horse shampoo/conditioner) and my hair grew about 5 inches in about a month and a half!! I used it for half a year. It made my hair thicker and longer. Now that my hair is to my elbows I've switched back to my Pureology. The horse shampoo was great but texturized my hair more than I wanted. I've been on Pureology for a month and my hair is back to shiny and smooth!

If you're trying to grow your hair out. I've had success with hairfinity. I've tried biotin and it only worked for my nails. I think everyone is different and it came help with different areas since it's supposed help more than just hair. Hairfinity is targeted to hair growth

It works!!! My hair has grown in great since I started taking it months ago.

I take it as often as I remember. My hair got so much longer and healthier. Nails and skin are great too. I use 10,000mg instead of 1000 I use Meijer brand now but bodybuilding.com has a great brand. Can't remember the nail but the bottle is purple
