Biotin Question

[LaShanne]

Ok, I've decided to add biotin to my growing list of vitamins. I've heard such good things about it (except the breakouts). How many mcgs or mgs should I begin with? and when should i start upping my dosage?

BTW - I'm also adding nioxin to the mix as soon as my shipment comes in. Geez, I hope i dont overdose.

I would like to know how much Biotin to take. I am currently taking 1600 mcgs...I currently take 2 nioxin, 2 primrose oil 2,000, 1 b50 complex 500mcg...CandyC where are U and how much Biotin are you taking and also how much b 50 are you taking?

I would like to know this too. I have 4 bottles of 1000 mgs pills and was taking one a day, but I don't think that's enough, so I stopped.

You are right 1 pill might not be enough for you, you might need to up the doses...I want to up my doses but I want to know what is a safe or recommended dosage because I do not want to od on pills

Reading what the other ladies on the board have said...starting anything off at a low dosage would be wise. I started taking 1000mcg of Biotin for a couple of weeks and now am up to 3000. I was taking them at once but started taking them 3 times a day. Seems to be working fine. Any extra in your system will flush out through urine...
