Has anyone tried Maxi Health B-12 with Biotin?

I decided to find out for myself about the works of biotin, and like many other people my face broke out.
I even got small bumps on my arm.
I didn't even notice what was going on, until I seen my aunt for the first time in about a year and she yelled
at me because I've always had clear skin. So I'm breaking the rest of the capsules and using the powder with EVOO and water for my hair.

I ran out of HairNourish from GNC and switched to Country Life Maxi-Hair (Vitamin Shoppe). It has 600mg of MSM and 2,000 mcg of d-biotin. Too early to tell results but last month I had over an inch of new growth.
What is d-biotin?

I answered my own question. According to this web site d-biotin is synthetic not natural. GNC's NourishHair contains natural biotin.
A 'd' in front of the vitamin is an indicator.
Facts:
* synthetic vitamins have only one component out of a whole family of micro-nutrients that accompany them in their natural state?
* that only 50% of a synthetic vitamin can be utilized somewhat efficiently?
* that some sensitive people may actually have an adverse reaction to the synthetic vitamins?

The biotin broke me out, too. I hadn't noticed, either, until my mother and then the nurse at my son's dermatologist said something about it. The next day, I went to see the dermatologist myself, and he prescribed a cleanser and gel that has cleared it up. I've had to shelf my old cleanser and moisturizer until I stop taking the biotin, but oh well.

I drink water everyday. That's what I drink the most- and a lot of it at that.

Yes I do take other vits. I am in the process of revising my vit reg. I am currently taking:
Freeda Biotin 10 mg a day
VS MSM 1000 mg a day
Vitamin C 2000 mg a day
VS Hair skin and nails
Digestive enzymes
WOW that's alot.. are you taking anything else??
[/ QUOTE ]
We're taking almost all the same things (even the Surge), I don't take the digestive enzymes and for Biotin I'm taking VS also but haven't noticed an increased even though I stepped it up from 5 mg to 10 mg a day. Hmmm, the Freeda Biotin's are a bit more but....
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't do the Surge anymore. I do think that switching brands will help you with your growth. Freeda Brand is a more potent brand of biotin and it absorbs very quickly. I have gotten the tabs wet before and they just sort of melt!
I think the Freeda is worth it especially with the results you get!!

OK... I just did the calculations for those who look at Freeda cost, as I sure did. I ordered the 250 count 10,000mg pill from the koshervitamin site. I ordered it Sunday and it was here Tuesday, just as I used up my last bottle of Puritan's Pride biotin. (I had the 1000mg bottle w/ 100 pills.) Here goes: PP normally sells (100)-1000mg tablets for $6.95. I would have to take 10 of those to equal 1 Freeda biotin tablet that has 10,000mgs. Therefore, I only get 10 servings from the PP at this dosage. To get 250 days worth of PP biotin at 10,000mgs/day (as is the case w/Freeda if I have 250 pills and only take 1 a day), I would need 25 bottles. 25 bottles x $6.95= $173.75. $173.75 divided by 250 days= 70 cents per serving. My Freeda cost me $52.43... divided by 250 = 21 cents a serving. Compared to what I used to take, the Freeda is more than worth it in the long run.
(Ain't this a good math problem for elementary school kids?
