User Reviews for biotin

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!!

There is no question that high dosages of biotin work to strengthen hair and make it grow in more bountifully. It is also very nice to your skin and nails. However, it has an estrogenic effect to watch out for in high doses. I'm perimenopausal and got my first painful period in months after using a daily high dose of biotin for a couple of weeks.

I have had alopecia for 50 years on and off. I've had no treatment in 18 years, but when the condition returned I saw biotin advertised. I have been using it now for 10 weeks and the results are promising. Lots of new growth but not everywhere yet. No side effects.

I am astonished how well this product works! My hair was breaking off in my brush and every time I washed out. Within a month of taking biotin, my hair no longer breaks off and it is healthy and shiny like never before! My hair has grown about three inches so far and my nails are strong and healthy as well! Would highly recommend!

My hair was mildly thinning and I have baldness in my family. I started 10,000 mcg ("super biotin") recommended by my hair doctor. Within the first few months, my hair was feeling thicker and stronger and when I returned to my hair doctor, my hair check measurements had gone up 10% in one area, 16% in another. I can already feel the difference, but I know it will take a few more months for me to see it in the mirror. I didn't have any unwanted effects, but I did notice my nails are quite a bit stronger--which is cool, because I often use them as a small screw driver when im in a pinch!Read More Read Less

I wanted to find something to fix my nails. They were constantly breaking and I just cut them off. Someone mentioned Biotin and I have only been taking it for about 3 weeks. My nails no longer break and as an extra bonus, my hair is super soft! I seldom take as many as recommended on the bottle and still have these excellent results.

my dermatalogist suggested it and I take 2 tabs daily and my nails are no longer soft and tender. My hair feels better as well.

I been taking 2500 d-biotin mcg a day, even more, with no results for hair or nails (Natures Bounty gummies)

I am 55 years of age and experienced hair loss for 5 years. After using Biotin and Selenium for the past 8 months my hair looks very healthy and thicker and I am very happy. Whether I have actually grown new hairs I do not know.

started taking a week ago, have noticed more hair coming out in the shower and when combing out wet hair. also have been having severe hot flashing. will stop taking as do not like the side effects

My hair has started to grow in after 3 months and I could not be happier with the product. Could not believe the results and my hairdresser is also happy with the results.

I had gastric bypass surgery about 4-6 weeks afterward my hair started coming out by the handful. I had bald patches. The root of my condition was caused by malnourishment. I had friends who told me at the time to take biotin and that it would help. It wasn't until telling my surgeon about my hair falling out that he shook his head and said that it was common but that I should take 10,000 mcg daily not the 1000 mcg I had been already taking. It took a little while to see the benefits but my bald spots began filling in within 4 weeks. My fingernails were stronger and growing like crazy. Read More Read Less

I just started taking it. My scalp is itchy.

I've been taking Biotin (2 a day, i.e., 2000 mg) for hair loss. My dermatologist recommended it I have the type of hair loss that is caused by stress or a traumatic experience. When I saw her last February, she asked me if anything had happened to me last fall, as it takes about 3 months after the incident for the hair to start coming out. Anyway that was over a year ago and I've lost a considerable amount of hair and still losing it. Biotin and vitamins B-6, B12, C, D, and E have not made any difference either.Read More Read Less

I took the 10,000 biotin and it really works but you have to drink lots of water so you won't break out while using it

I absolutely love biotin. I've been taking it for 2 months to promote my hair and nail growth, I haven't seen a difference in my hair but my nails are long,strong, & beautiful. I wil use biotin forever.

I started using Biotin in hopes to grow out my hair since it takes as much time to grow as it takes a turtle to go around the world and it would break off a lot too. I started in August with the 2500mcg pill that melts in your mouth. The cherry flavor did not have an after taste at all; my nails became much much harder and longer; my face isn't breaking out besides during menstruation and I barely drink water; but my hair was growing just not as fast as I wanted so I doubled my dosage and everything is better now. I want to go into the 10000mcg dose after the one I have finishes. hope it grows even more!Read More Read Less
