Comment:
I was suffering from hair loss in the center of my head. The biotin has helped my hair to grow and get thicker. I also notice a difference in my eyebrows, which had become very thin. My eyebrows are becoming fuller, and I am using less, and less eye pencil.

I have been experiencing hair loss. Dermatologist recommended biotin. Age and possible stress as factors. So far, after 3 months, the shedding seems to have slowed but the hair is still thinner.

Comment:
Started taking biotin 10,000 mcg (Natures Bounty extra strength) about 6 months ago because my hair was thinning in the front and coming out by the handful at each washing. My hair has thickened significantly and grown about 4 inches in length. Have not seen much difference in nail growth although there has been a significant reduction in splitting. Highly recommend biotin supplements.

Comment:
I started at 500mg and I've gradually increased to 10,000mg. My hair was constantly falling out and I was told by many how thin my hair was. Biotin has really helped, people now tell me how fast my hair has grown. I haven't noticed much thickness in my hair but maybe ill see those results after a bit more use. My nails grow faster, although they're not very strong. I would definitely r
