@HPfan71 2000mcg is 2 mg (millagrams), and she was taking 5 mg, and it still did not help her, but she does bot need any beauty help anyway, shes gots it natrually
it takes time for the biotin to start affecting your body. . it wont affect the hair you have now, but it will affect the hair that grows out once the body has utilized the vitamin. but it should take about 3-5 months before you should notice any significant difference.
I think the biotin would only truly help if you had a deficiency. As for the joke, I get it, and it made me laugh. This is coming from a pepsioholic though, haha!
Something to consider...it doesn't look, judging by your beautiful skin and healthy hair, that your skin and hair is a "Weakness" in your system. Things like biotin will only help your hair if you don't have enough in your system. It's like aderol-it will only help if you have ADD, as it actually "fills" a missing part in your brain. My skin and hair are my weaknesses so biotin helped immensely. Peace.
@nadi1010 biotin helped me alot soooo much but i ran out and i havent taken it for like a couple days and i noticed my hair fallin out more than usual i have really thin hair to begin with have u experienced anythin else with this now i feel like i can never stop takin it
@24morningstar It really helped my hair but I'm going to increase it to 8,000. Thorne has a 8 g and they're a great company cause their vitamins are very absorbable. I'm going to try it for a few months and see...
I read that you need atleast 2500 mg or some crap, so with you using only 5, your results may suck! I dunno, but GNC online, which I just checked seems to have it for $25.00 though :(
@ItsMsVee haha, actually the b-complex only had 50 mcg, so i decided to search for it again. i don't live in the states,so there's no walgreens in my area, but i finally stumbled on it at walmart! and i think i was lucky too, because they just recently started supplying it at the branch i went to.
where did you find it. i looked everywhere, and i finally went to safeway after a tiresome search. i ended up buying it as a b-complex (which had 500 mcg)> but isnt 1000mg alot or did you mean, 1000 mcg?
I would say take a Hair, Skin, Nail vitamin those are so powerful they have 1000% biotin..not a 100%, and pretty much every other vitamin-all the B's, A, E, calcium...it's really good.
Drinking lots of water won't do anything. I drink TONS of water and all it does it makes my skin oily. I have very healthy skin. Too healthy that it's oily.
well I've been taking the 600 mcg, and I've noticed a difference with my hair its a lot thicker, but the length isn't quite there yet...so I'll probably up my dosage...to 5000 my skin can tolerate the pills...
It doesn't matter how much biotin you take, its a water soluble supplement meaning its impossible to "overdose" on it, it just gets washed through in your urine.
besides biotin, prenatal pills are also great for hair, nails, skin, etc. Women are supposed to take them before, during and after pregnancy anyway (btw, i'm in the "before" process, and I have seen a lot of growth).......this from Biotin and prenatal as well......
im taking 5000 mcg, it also depends on what else is in the pill. If there are alot of fillers then the potency is diluted. The one im using is by Solaray, its a 2 stage time release thats vegetarian. The guy a the naturals store told me about the fillers and the dosages, read your label a serving size for that pill might be 2 or three capsules a day. Ex: If the serving is 1 pill you take 1. This one has 60 caps in it which will last 2 months for around 15$. I'll keep ya posted.
They are other vitamins that supprt hair growth.. not only biotin. And maybe your hair was in its resting stage, were it does not grow for about 2 weeks.
I think Biotin is recommended for overall hair health but not actually as a growth stimulant in itself. However Sea Kelp is another matter. I've been taking it for a couple of months and the hair growth rate is ridiculous. I have to cut my nails every week because they grow so fast. If you want to grow your hair long fast than a couple of tablets of sea kelp really does the trick.
MInes grew so well that i had to stop because my nails were growing so fast that i had to keep getting refills or cutting em down.. and i had to keep cutting my hair becuz it was getting too long too fast
What were you using that had your hair grow so fast? I used to have really long thick hair and then I cut it last August...It has never been the same every since. Now it's limp, dry and the same freaking length. Let me know so I can look into the product please!
i was taking hair skin and nail vitamins and is saw a difference in my hair it grew twice as fast and my nails got really healthy but the biotin in the pills was making me break out, so i stopped taking them
I prefer a brand called Nature's Bounty. They have a super potent biotin. I know it works, every time I take it, my nails are stronger and they NEVER grow. You should check it out. And, sometimes, vitamins just are not good. You may not be absorbing it. Try crushing it to powder and mixing it in some juice.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
stupid... biotin is supposed to make your hair skin and nails HEALTHY not grow faster. if youve been doing it for 3 months your hair grew like what a cm? of course you wont notice. and sodas the worst for your body.
I dont think it matters if you take them all at once or throughout the day. I would take them throughout the day just in case your body can't use them all at once and unused amount leaves through your urine.
Biotin is a vitamin and it's deficiency is rare. I highly doubt it has much to do with gender.
If you eat raw egg whites, which contain a lot of avidin, you might get biotin deficiency and are recommended to take biotin supplements.
Avidin can bind to up to four biotin molecules (I don't know if that has any use of it's own...) If you cook the egg the avidin is of no worry any more, but it's protein doesn't get digested as fast.
you need to take biotin for longer then 3 months & if you want instant gradification you need to take over 5000 mgs. (YEAH, MGS, NOT MCGS.) or that's what I've been told. The bottle says on my 1000 mgs pills to take up to 5 times a day, it's always getting good reviews, maybe you shouldve taken a higher dose :/ but maybe it just didnt work for you, sorry.
oh wait.. you said 5 MG?! Wow no wonder... I got the 5000mg bottle. (like a girl in one of the comments below mentioned). You should really try the 5000mg bottle. i got mine at cvs.
That's interesting. I've been taking Biotin for 1 month and a 1/2 and my nails grow so fast and they're def strong. Usually they'd get to a point where they're pretty long, but really flaky and bendable. But now they're really hard and white.
Also, my hair is so much thicker ... and I have short hair. My back hair seems to have grown a little over an inch when usually it grows 1/2 inch per month.
Hm, I guess biotin doesn't work for some. Too bad about that!
LOL! Girl! That was not water!!! *giggles* Biotin helped my hair grown - including my eyelashes, made my nails stronger (thus allowing them to grow longer) and cleared up my skin. So I guess it depends on the individual and how much you take.
