Went into the vitamin shoppe today to check out biotin/hair, nail, skin vitamins. The worker recommended the 5mg dosage of just biotin. Now I'm googling and that seems it may be a bit high. Just curious what dosage you ladies take? What changes have you noticed? Any side effects? Do you take with a multivitamin?
Thanks!

I was watching Dr. Oz the other day and he had ex super models on the show telling their 'secrets'. One of the models mentioned how she takes biotin and swears by it for her hair. I am going to look into it and maybe give it a try because I hate my hair I always thought it was toooo thin so maybe this will give it a little more volume and thickness. Worth a shot I guess.

go to WALMART and buy your vitamins MUUUUUUUCH CHEAPER and a huuuuuge selection.. so u can compare their brand vs the expensive ones.. (usualy the same) and their brand is like$5..compared to 20$ at gnc or the pharmacy

Hi ladies!!! Ok, in the past year my hair has been receding :( and I am pretty sure it is related to my bc pills (even though the doctors say it is not) and stress makes it recede even faster.
I am taking one pill a day of 7500 mg super strength of biotin a day. I started taking it in November. My hair has absolutely grown much longer!!! Before biotin my hair has barely grown in the past 5 years, so I am very excited about this and will be using it forever and hope for really long hair for my wedding. :)
As for my receding spots, it hasn't helped much and I'm also using Nioxin shampoo and products. But to get the hair growing longer, definitely recommend Biotin!
