When I began taking this megadose of Biotin, I was already taking it in a multi B complex, but not as much as I had read was necessary to reduce hair loss. I began taking 10,000 mcg tablets, until I found it was making my skin break out. I read that others had this problem, and so reduced my intake to 1000 mcg 3 times per day. Side effects went away.

While I do other things to make my hair healthier, I believe Biotin has improved my hair length beyond any length I have ever been able to grow my entire life, and overall thickness has improved. No more breakouts, since I reduced the dosage, although I have read that if you gradually increase, your skin will not break out. I plan to try that, and will update my review when I do.

I've been taking 10,000 mcg of Biotin for past 5 months in effort to stop thinning hair. It hasn't helped but, worse than that, I have notices other symptoms: more chest heaviness and heart pain every day, and the skin on my back became noticeably darker and rougher. (Biotin is the only supplement I've been mega dosing on.) Started reading comments on many different websites of people ... Show Full Comment

It hasn't helped but, worse than that, I have notices other symptoms: more chest heaviness and heart pain every day, and the skin on my back became noticeably darker and rougher. (Biotin is the only supplement I've been mega dosing on.) Started reading comments on many different websites of people who have experienced bad side effects, some of them very serious. No more mega doses of Biotin for me, just what's in my B-Complex supplement. Proceed with caution and think twice about taking very high doses of anything. Wishing everyone the best of health!

My fingernails were never strong but they are now much healthier. I plan on con ... Show Full Comment

I take 1,000 mcg dose of the fast dissolve ones. It taste like cherry with no nasty after taste. It also absorbed into my system. Faster than the other vitamin B complex I tried. I haven't measured with a ruler. But it has been three months, my hair stopped falling out by the handfull. And my hair grew from my shoulders, to the center of my back. My bangs were short and falling out. And now my ... Show Full Comment

I take 1,000 mcg dose of the fast dissolve ones. It taste like cherry with no nasty after taste. It also absorbed into my system. Faster than the other vitamin B complex I tried. I haven't measured with a ruler. But it has been three months, my hair stopped falling out by the handfull. And my hair grew from my shoulders, to the center of my back. My bangs were short and falling out. And now my bangs fit into my ponytail. Yes, I have mild achne, but regular face wash and a mild astringent gets rid of it. I'm only 23, so losing my hair after the birth of my son, was a big deal to me. But now it is thicker, way longer, and I'm so happy I tried biotin Fast dissolve by spring Valley.
