YAY OR NAY ON TAKING BIOTIN FOR HAIR, NAILS, ETC?

MY DOC TOLD ME IT WOULDNT HURT IT WOULD HELP. I HAVENT A CLUE. DOES ANYONE TAKE IT? DOES IT HELP? HOW DOES IT HELP? LET ME KNOW

Didn't help me...many say it does help. All it did for me was grow CHIN hair. And I didn't need that so I don't bother.

i read somewhere on the main forum that they had the same problem. i been taking biotin for a month and i have lots of chin and neck hair. now i know i had it before i took it but not like this. so this is why LOL

yikes

I take 2,000 mg per day.  I doubt I will replace the bottle when I'm through with taking all pills.

I haven't seen any excess facial hair, and I haven't seen an improvement in the hair regrowth.  My hair and nails look good, my hair quit falling out in handfuls, but it could just be running it's course.

It won't hurt to try it.  I would not buy a huge bottle of it though till you see a difference.  And I've read that it takes 2-3 months before you see any change.

I don't take Biotin.  Never have but I do take Vitamin E.  The latter seems to help with my hair but that does not prevent my hair from going grey.

I have been taking 5k since november and have seen great improvement in my hair and nails. Your not going to see results quick, so if you see replies that are only a few months long, it's not long enough to even see if it works. Since I still have PCOS I do see my unwanted hair grow faster but it hasn't made me grow extra hair. Waxing my unwanted hair has limited its growth rate and its coarseness.
My hair is growing back thick and strong. My nails no longer break, the are extremely sturdy. Even better than pre-op. Like your doc said, it won't hurt to try it but you need to give it months to work.
