Biotin is doing winders for me,i started taking it a week from last monday and my hair has grown about 1/4 inch since then, my nails are much longer to, i take the wal-mart brand biotin which is 1mg and i take it 3 times a day and a multivitamin in the morning. I also take amino acids but i've been taking them for a while and they really didnt do much, when i added the biotin thats when i got the extra boost. has anyone else taken amino acids and did they recieve results from that??
