Comment:
I tried to take biotin for hair loss. I became dizy, my joints ached, and it made me hungry all the time. I had thyroid cancer in 2003. I have a baby who just stopped breast feeding. Seems to risky to take.

Comment:
My "hair loss" is by choice; I like to grow my hair long, then donate it to charities that use it to make wigs for cancer patients. I've used Biotin for approximately 3 months now and the results have been remarkable! Fuller, longer, stronger hair, growing in faster than I've ever experienced. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants better hair growth.

I started taking Biotin, when my hair began to get brittle and was breaking off. I have noticed a remarkable difference in the texture, length and strength of my hair. I have been using Biotin for about six months. I will continue to use it. I take 2500 mcgs once a day.

Comment:
I started taking Biotin because I have PCOS and I'm afraid my hair will start falling out, so I am attempting to prevent it. My nails have been a lot nicer. They are stronger and haven't peeled in a long time. My hair feels stronger and thicker, but I still see a lot of hair in the brush. I'm taking 5000mcg each morning.

always had lots of hair on my bruah. Hairdresser mentioned it was more than usually seen. Take 2500mcg daily. Seems to be less on hair brush now. Wish it actually grew hair!
