User Reviews for biotin

My hairdresser recommended Biotin for my thinning hair. I started taking 5000 mcg daily. I’ve only been taking it for a few weeks but have not seen a change in my hair. I HAVE seen a change in my awareness ( brain fog). I barely missed causing two major automobile accidents, took linens off the bed to wash and left a pillowcase on one of the pillows, went for a walk and left my garage door open. I cannot recall anything before the two close calls in my car. I have never done any of these things before. I am stopping the Biotin and hope things get better. Read More Read Less

Biotin for hair I haven’t noticed major differences but my eyelashes have grown loadssss And my hair health has improved a little along with nails.

Started taking this after starting to lose my hair and confidence and the wife started taking it with me. Nails and hair definitely nicer. More noticeably hers, she has a full mane of long gorgeous hair now like a lion. The real benefit my wife and I received is dramatically increased sex drive for both of us. In turn helped my confidence and hers as she was never very sexually active. We both take Biotin every day.

I developed an extremely itchy scalp. The itch and rash on the nape of my neck is almost unbearable and hasn't gone away although I stopped taking the pills almost 3 weeks ago. It was Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin

I started out with a dosage of 5,000 mcg but changed to 10,000 on my second bottle, it took 5 months before my nails became strong. This is first time my life my nails have been healthy! I�m 58 and have had no side effects.

In 2011 I got the Mirena IUD. I had it in for 4 years with no problems until one day my hair started coming out in chunks causing huge bald spots. I was cramping and dizzy all the time, so I decided to have the IUD removed. Weeks passed and everything went back to normal except my hair. Over half my hair was gone and it wasn't coming back. I started taking biotin in February of 2016 and still take it everyday! My hair came back and just in time for my wedding day back in March of 2017. I swear by biotin and I recommend it to anyone and everyone! Read More Read Less

Started taking because I had increased hair breakage. Breakage has been a problem all my life, but it had started to get very bad. I started taking 10000 MCG daily and within a month breakage is barely noticeable. I haven't had this little breakage EVER. I am using NeoCell Biotin Bursts. One chew per day.

I came back to add some more information about my experience with biotin and to urge all of you with thinning hair to try this treatment. It has been a life-changer for me. I no longer worry about whether my hair is arranged properly to cover all the balding areas, I no longer worry about going out in the wind or the rain or the sun -- all of which can reveal thinning hair. And, I look so much younger with a full head of hair. It really seems like a miracle, because now I have completely normally thick hair after having had badly thinning hair for approximately 45 years! Here is the additional information I wanted to share: (1) As I have continued to use biotin, my hair has continued to thicken and it just never seems to shed any more. (2) I use whatever kind of biotin is available, not necessarily a particular brand name. Lately, I have been buying "Nature's Bounty" from Sam's Club. (3) I take one (1) 10,000 mcg gelcap-type dose per day. (4) You must tell your doctor you are taking biotin -- make sure the information is entered on your chart, because the use of biotin can affect the results of your blood tests. I had told my doctor I was taking biotin and it was on my chart, but when I went in for my most recent physical and lab tests, the doctor called back and said my thyroid function looked a little off, which he said might have been due to the biotin, and he had me stay off the biotin for four (4) days and then come back in and take the test again (which was fine). So, do tell your doctor you are taking biotin, and lay off the biotin for several days before you go in for lab tests so you don't have to repeat the test the way I did. Anyway, I do urge you to try this stuff -- it truly is a miracle and has made me feel so much more confident about my appearance!Read More Read Less

Honestly as a young girl I always struggled with my hair growing, nails, everything, also, had a stage of alopecia at a time, anyways taking 10000 mg of biotin a day has really improved my hair my nails eyelashes everything I didn't even grow armpit hair before taking it and now I've had to shave that area which I never did before I really recommend it!

I started taking the 2500 mcg for brittle nails 2 days ago. I have since had an upset stomach, itchy skin, and painful joints. I only took it Wednesday night and Thursday night it is now Friday. I will not be taking it again and it's going in the trash.

I have been taking Biotin for a few years and I seem to have lost hair.

I have developed a skin rash on my arms.

Started taking Biotin orally 5K mgs daily. Noticed stronger nails, less hair loss, restored texture with less thinning of the hair shaft, no difference in hair color retention, mild facial skin bumps near the chin. Not sure there is a correlation between skin bumps

My hair fell out after treatment for cancer. My beautician recommend Biotin. My hair is back to normal (I was a redhead) But now with a (little) grey. Give it a try!!!

Started taking biotin because I heard it was good for hair loss. It has worked great! My hair is definitely stronger and thicker. Found a great resource here: https://biotinhairgrowth.ca/blog/benefits-of-biotin-supplement.html which shows some other benifits.

I started taking this after having Lap Band. My once thick hair was falling out and thinning badly. I started taking biotin slowly at first but I now take 10,000mcg a day. My hair, although not as thick as it was when I was in my 20's is now very thick. My hairdresser even remarked on how thick it was. I would definitely recommend. I use either Nature's made or Nature's Bounty interchangeably.

can't see any difference in my hair

taking too much causes painful skin rash and interferes with Thyroid medication. It seems to enhance metabolism.

I take 10,000 mcg since November 5th due brittle dry hair. My hair was down my back but the top and sides were just little pieces of hair. Noticeable thin to bald spots. I've seen great results so far. I drink lots of water and my hair breakage has stopped. The shedding has decreased significantly according to my hair stylist. Slow process but I do see results.
