Biotin- does it really work for you?

[keylargo]

Ladies, who takes Biotin and can honestly say it helps them with growth? I'm believe that there are at least a handful of you that have had much success. I'm considering it again. I've taken it in the past with only increased nail growth as a result. So, I have a few questions for you:

Should I give it another try?

Also, does it make you have acne if you take too much?

What brand do you take?

How much do you take a day?

How long were you taking it before you saw progress?

Should I give it another try?

Yes, the results are amazing

Also, does it make you have acne if you take too much?

I haven't had any problems with acne, I have although increased my water intake since taking it

What brand do you take?

Freeda brand

How much do you take a day?

7.5 to 12.5 mg per day

How long were you taking it before you saw progress?

I took it about 1 month before I noticed results

Thanks DSD. I don't think I took it long enough last time. I think I only took it for about 2-3 weeks and gave up.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

Nope that's not emough time. Some people report that it takes 2-3 months to start seeing results. It just depends on you! Good Luck!

 

[keylargo]

yes, maybe I'll start it again

anyone else?

Yes, Biotin rocks...I have only been here since the beginning of october and I started taking two supplements, GNC hair, nails, and Skin formula, and Rexall Hair, skin and nails...I had about 1.3 in of new growth last month and I had to relax after 4 weeks...it is amazing.

My skin has suffered though, which I find ironic since they are both "skin" formulas, my skin is usually low maintenence and I haven't seen acne like this since high school.

HTH

Biotin results that I have noticed include increased finger nail and toe nail growth and thickness. I am not sure about hair growth because of the other supplements I am taking and other things I am doing to my hair.

I can honestly say that Biotin helped my hair to grow faster. I slacked off big time this summer on my vitamins. I noticed the difference. My hair seems to have slowed down it's growth spurt. I use PP biotin. They now have a 5000mcg. Before I was taking 1000mcg.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I'd laxed on the Biotin but I think I'll re-start again. I take the Puritan Pride one.

i can honestly say biotin help the health of my hair and helped even it out. i have been using the HSN formula from GNC since april and the results don't don't seem to be as noticeable so now i am debating whether to up the biotin intake or MSN
