I personally think it's more of a placebo effect

It's not a placebo effect. My hair doesn't fall out as much and I know that for a fact.

I started using it about 3 weeks ago and have noticed that my nails are stronger. I'm hoping it will help my hair as well since it's dry. It's definitely worth a try tho. I got a bottle from Costco for $9 just make sure that you get biotin that provides you with a high dosage of it.

I've used it before and I notice my hair getting shinier and growing faster I've also notice my skin clearing up. I had acne problems. But now my face is almost clear. But it is worth it. I'm starting to take biotin again.

I love it, it really works. The only thing I didn't like was that it doesn't make your hair thicker.

It makes my hair grow a little faster, but my hair grows pretty fast as it is. The real difference is how fast my nails grow!!

Biotin makes my nails and hair grow faster (they already grow fast w/out it), but I originally took it to improve my skin's health. It actually broke me out really badly. I have switched to Horsetail which has the same effect on my hair and nails and helps my skin to be more smooth without causing breakouts.

I want to take biotin but I don't need it to make my nails any stronger or longer. I like em short. But my hair is so blah and just feels neglected even tho I'm not neglecting it at all. :/

I got the Bio-sil because it has amazing reviews and my friend recommended them to me. These really work amazing!! I can't believe how much re-growth I have.

What mg of Biotin should I take?
Dec 27, 2012
Stephanie M.
I think you can take up to 5000mcg. Google could probably tell you more.

it works wonders! I started taking it probably 3 or 4 months ago, and friends, family, co-workers have all commented on how long my hair has gotten. I also use morrocanoil products and brush my hair every night with a bamboo brush which also promotes healthy hair growth.

Biotin is also known as B7 is an important vitamin that plays a roll in our body. It is a vital role in cell growth, aids the citric acid cycle to produce energy, and metabolizes amino acids.
It does strengthen hair and nails as well but when it's strengthening hair and nails, it's doing great work inside the body. If you are not into taking supplements, biotin can be found in leafy vegetables and peanuts.
From what I know there isn't any type of effects from Biotin, but if you are concerned with developing facial hair - take the alternate route and eat your greens :)
I hope I helped, I leaned about all this stuff in chemistry when my class covered Orgo.Chem.

Im pregnant now and i started taking prenatal vitamins with biotin in them and immediately i saw my overprocessed hair improve and my nails started growing a lot faster and stop breaking all together. I dont have any facial hair growing at all from the biotin.
