User Reviews for biotin

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.

I am taking Biotin 10,000 mcg, one per day. I'm concerned that taking it with four other medications may have problems. They are celexa, buspirone, metformin and clonazepam

I have been taken Biotin 50000mcg for about one month and my hair seems grow faster and there are less hair loss after i shampoo my hair

I find it has helped me with the loss of my hair, the strength on my nails, my diabetes and my naturopathy. .tv

After my heart attack and bypass, most of the hair on my arms, chest, and fingers took a vacation. I started taking 10,000mcg of Biotin, 2x daily. Note, I also take 500mg L-Arginine 2x daily. Withing 3 weeks hair started growing on my arms, chest, and some on my knuckles. A little is growing on the top of my head too! My doctor was even surprised when I had my yearly. So, for me its working GREAT! YMMV.

I am very satisfied with Biotin 5000. My hair is not coming out as much. A course we always will have some hair loss.

My sister has had an adverse reaction to antibiotics and has loss hair on numerous occasions. In some cases almost to near baldness. Biotin has always helped in a big way.

Does it work overnight and produce miraculously lush, thick hair? No. But as a woman with thinning hair, a receding hairline in places and hair frankly just falling out rapidly due to meds I'm on... I'm very pleased with the turnaround. I saw thin hairs begin to grow at my temples first, and eventually noticed my 'part' was less noticeable. It's also nice to be able to want to wash my hair again and not feel like I'm accidentally removing all my hair. My nails are a bit stronger too, although not a huge improvement, just a slight extra perk. What I wasn't even aware is I'm borderline diabetic and perhaps this will help with that too. Oh, I did try to stop taking it (i.e. forgot to repurchase when the bottle ran out) and saw the hair problems come back -- so I won't be stopping this vitamin again. By the way, I chose Natrol 10,000mcg after doing research (which I see isn't on the list so I had to select their 1000mcg here). From what I read it's not something you can really overdo. It's also only 1x per day and a smooth round pill easy to get down.Read More Read Less

I lost quite a bit of hair (eyelashes too) after having twins. This was in 2011. It is now 2016 and everything is back and then some! I have been taking 5,000 mcg of Biotin a day for 5 years. Anything more than 5,000 mcg upsets my stomach (I tried 10,000 and it was awful). I take it in the morning after breakfast.

I was upset by my receding hairline and thinning hair. I take 5000 mg Biotin daily on the advice of my dermatologist. It has helped a lot - it is subtle, but the hair is growing in slowly and and it looks fuller so I am very happy with this result. A good haircut to cover the front helps too.

My only complaint, it takes several months to see results. Now my hair is coming in like crazy!!! So easy!!
