My "hair loss" is by choice; I like to grow my hair long, then donate it to charities that use it to make wigs for cancer patients. I've used Biotin for approximately 3 months now and the results have been remarkable! Fuller, longer, stronger hair, growing in faster than I've ever experienced. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants better hair growth.

I stopped when I suddenly developed severe leg and hip pain. the pain was getting worse each day. It took several days to realize it was the Biotin and the pain diminished greatly when I stopped taking this junk and was g...

Perhaps I'm just a rare case but I started taking these again once a day for the past two weeks and noticed some annoying and bad side effects. I took these because I was hoping for stronger nails and clearer skin but my side effects have been blemishes, cramps, and no energy. I'll see how I go now that I've stopped with Biotin.

I started taking biotin on the advice of my m.d. due to side effects of the synthroid I am on; thinning hair,dry skin,fatigue. I've been on it approximately 2 months and notice a slight improvement in regards to my hair,which is my main concern as a woman.I'm hoping to see even better results the longer I'm on it.

I had gastic bypass surgery one year ago. Started loosing alot of hair and gum loss, I have taken one pill a day for 6 months and my hair loss stopped, finger nails grow alot faster, they are stronger, and my hair growth is unreal.No side effects.A friend told me about this and I think every one needs to know. I am very pleased with this vitamin. I use Finest Natural by Walgreens. Love the price too.

I have been taking 5000 mg of Biotin daily for several months and I have noticed my nails are stronger, not splitting or peeling, also, my hair has stopped falling out. This was the main reason I started taking this vitamin supplement. My hair was baby fine, very thin and weak. Now, my hair is thicker, more abundant and the oil has returned to make it shinier and healthier.
