I used to take 1000; it didn't do as much for me. It sounds like 5000 is the threshold for hair growth without wasting.

i've been trying to stay away from this thread, but dammit i can't!!! I'm currently taking CL biotin in 5mg's and I'm experiencing scalp activity (but i'm also doing scalp massages every night) so i'm not sure what to attribute the activity to. How long does this sale last??? I'm planning on switching brands b/c of the raves, but not for another month or so

The sale lasts until May 1

May 1st?! Great! I've got a lot of supplements to reorder! Whoo hoo!!
Cyrax agrees. Whoo hoo whoo hoo!
Bonjour, Mahalialee
For a loading dose, if you choose to do one, I would suggest 10mg for a period of 2 weeks only. Don't do a full month with the biotin, especially if you are using the PP or the Freeda. And, do your loading dose in the first half of your cycle to avoid any possible irregularities.
For long-term use, you might want to check with Kasey here at the site. I know she's been taking 10mg daily for quite some time. Additionally, you should watch your cycles and be aware of blood sugar levels. At 10mg and upwards, your blood sugar levels can drop fast...you can feel mighty hungry

I'm laughing DSTDIVA... "Rapunzel"
My sister calls me Pocahantas and Pocahantas I ain't!!!! How many bottles did you order? I'm REEEEEEEEALLY wondering if the folks at PP are wondering what's really going on out there!
They must think folks found a way to convert biotin into some kind of drug or something the way I'm sure the inventory is taking a dive all of a sudden!! I ordered 6 bottles yesterday (paid for 2) and CAAANNNN'T wait!!!!! Let's get that itchin' goin' !!!!!!!!!!!
ny2atl,
you know what? i'm finna sneak over to the post office again and check. i only ordered 3 bottles (paid for 1) because i didn't want to have a bunch if i didn't like it. i need for my fix to get here so i can hurry up and see if it works for me!
umm, be right back (she says as she slips her car keys into her pocket). i'll just tell the work folk that i'm going to a meeting.

I'm sitting here reading the Puritan's Pride Biotin bottle and it says "So don't scratch your head and bite your nails - discover the nutritional goodness of Biotin 1,000 mcg".
I just thought that it was pretty funny since everybody's itchin' w/this stuff. What's up w/that?

I knew there was something wrong with me! I've been eating like a horse lately. I went away for a week and stopped taking my vitamins but as soon as I started taking them again my appetite has gone through the roof. I felt it had something to do with the vitamins but I didn't think they had an effect on my blood-sugar level
.
By the way, I was on vitaminshoppe's 5mg biotin and I was on country life's 5mg biotin and they did nothing noticible for me. I stopped taking the biotin about a week ago because I wanted to find out if it was the cause of these tiny little bumps I've gotten since coming back from FL and restarting my vitamin regime. So far I can say that it may have something to do with the biotin because the bumps reduced significantly. At the same time, I still see little bumps on my jaw line.
Now, any normal person would probably quit with the biotin for a while but after reading this ENTIRE threat from start to finish (all in 1 sitting) I ordered 2 bottles of the PPbiotin and I'm getting 4 free.
I'm a junkie
I can't help it. I have a brand new 300 pill bottle of vitaminshoppe's brand of 5mg biotin. It's sitting in my house with the wrapper and all and I'm trying to figure out who I can sell it to...
I'm anticipating the growth (on my head) but I'm not anticipating it anywhere else on my body and I'm DEFINITELY not anticipating
the itchies. Hopefully PP and God will be good to me and spare me from the itching. I'll let u know how it turns out.

Well, about boob hair: I said my chest hair is more pronounced. Betwixt my mosquito bites the hair is about 1/6 thicker, no more no less. Besides, the fact that my hair gets coarser in the winter may explain it more than anything else. The length of the hair has always been there, and I'm sure biotin didn't just slip down the hair shaft and thicken it. Perhaps I'm noticing the hair more because I'm observing my hair growth religiously.
Things Puritan Pride Biotin is DEFINITELY making skyrocket: scalp hair, nails, sideburns

Okay everyone. I purchased two bottles of the Freeda Biotin in 2.5mg a week ago. I take two which is the equivalent of 5mg, and I'm telling y'all, I'M ABOUT TO GO CRAZY WITH THIS ITCHING! I'm sitting at this computer madly posting, trying to ignore the creepy-crawler feel that's running amuck all over my head, as if someone is running track and field up and down this bad-boy! I don't know whether to be happy or mad at this?
I should be happy right? BUT all this "follicular action" IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Doggone it
They cost $9.56 at Willner Chemists here in NYC, and the 10mg cost well over $56.00 I have nothing to report but a glowing review for this brand in terms of hair-growth, but the drawback is the crawling feel that accompanies it
Alas, the price we women pay for beauty!

God bless you all.
