User Reviews for biotin

My Rheumatologist suggested taking 10000mcg of Biotin for Hair Loss. After taking for almost a week ,I had to stop because it created aches and pains in my back. I've had this happen before whenever I had taken too much Vitamin B6. This high dosage of Vitamin B7 is causing the same effects as Vitamin B6. Perhaps it is Too much for the Kidneys. I think more research should be done on this.

Headache.stomach ache..

I have a bad hair lose, i really concern to lose all my hair. I will use biotin 5 ml injection + bepanox 500 injection in a week. Each pack has 6 vials. repeat treatment for 3 months. Most of comments announced injection is more effective. I know it’s painful and annoying , two injections each week for 3 months but i hope get the result.

Biotin has been a game-changer for my hair. After trying various brands of biotin, I have found that Nutra Harmony Biotin delivers the best results. It has transformed my hair, making it thicker, fuller, and stronger, while reducing breakage. Not only has it accelerated hair growth, but it has also improved the strength of my nails and revitalized my skin. If you're over 35 and seeking effective hair support, I highly recommend Biotin. Remember to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement!Read More Read Less

Not bad but could be better

For more than a month, I took Nature Made® Hair, Skin, and Nails 2,500 mcg gummies. With my eczema and dermatitis, I believed it would be beneficial. Then one day I had a daylong feeling of having a heart attack! Lots of heart palpitations and nervousness/anxiety. Before this, I recently experienced indigestion and back pain, and I've noticed that it's been getting tougher for me to swallow lately, as if something is sort of choking me. I was experiencing headaches and an itchy scalp. Symptoms have improved since I stopped taking biotin. I feel better and none of these adverse effects are present. I'm puzzled as to why there aren't more popular online articles listing more adverse effects in regard to biotin. I had to look a little harder for other individuals who had the same problems I had while using biotin. Prior to consuming biotin, especially in greater doses, do your homework and consider your options.Read More Read Less

Taking biotin 5000mcg from October first week almost it is two months now. Not noticed any change.

My hairline started to recede, had bald patches and my hair volume had decreased enormously. Probably due to menopause. I've been taking Biotin (5000mcg p/d) for 5 months now and the results are remarkable. First noticed fuller eye lashes and longer nails and now my hair volume seems to be back to normal and the bald patches have become smaller. It's a pity that I can't upload before- & after photo's. No side effects up until now, hopefully none will come. Very happy; it's done wonders for my confidence. Read More Read Less

My nails grew in noticeably thicker and stronger very soon after beginning to take 5,000 mcg chewable biotin per day. I have taken skin/hair/nail vitamins in the past with the same effect but decided to try biotin alone since it was much cheaper.

I have been using these tablets for six months, due to thinning hair caused by the dreaded menopause. Like another customer stated, my eyelashes are a lot longer and eyebrows are growing, but nothing yet on my head, no new growth, zilch. I get it cut every 4/5 weeks as it’s less noticeable with shorter layers, and even my usual hairdresser said there is No new growth. I will give it another six months,,and if no new growth then I will stop taking it.

I took biotin for 1 week. I started having muscle and bone pain in my hips, legs and back. I developed diarrhea. I immediately stopped taking it. It made me feel very ill.

I didn’t really need supplemental biotin, but I took it anyway, just because my mom takes it. I took 5,000 mcg once daily for about 7 to 10 days, and I started noticing strange effects, i.e., skin rash, amphetamine-like energy/talkativeness, reduced back pain, decreased need for opioids, and profound insomnia. It’s somewhat of a mixed bag, but beware that biotin supplements can do bizarre and awful things.

I used to have very thin nails that bent when i pressed against them. They would break and rip and shed off in layers. i would say biotin has helped in the last couple years. my nails are now hard and they grow a lot longer than they used to.

Never worked for me, I do wonder if they actually work for anyone?

Been taking the suggested amount for almost 12 weeks now and Tbh have made no difference not the slightest

After research now I see why they made no difference to me

People should always consult a doctor first. After taking only one dose I felt like I was having a heart attack. Twice. I've never had heart issues. The side effects lasted way longer than anticipated as well. Scariest day of my life. Now I'm skeptical of every vitamin. You should be too.

My hair started thinning and then it was obvious that I was starting to lose a lot of hair. Read up on Biotin supplement and decided to try it. Been taking Biotin for a couple of years now and there is no significant gain, my hair continues to thin and I've lost more hair.
