Great results with Biotin!

Hi All! 

   A few weeks ago I was having a lot of peeling and chipping going on with my nails. I decided to try 1000mcg of Biotin and I have seen a significant change in my nails AND my hair. I have been on it for about 3 wks. and it is a part of my daily regimen now. Just wanted to share. I believe it helps but it takes a few weeks to start seeing results.

Jen -

I agree... I take about 5000 mcg a day and my hair grows like CRAZY.  Nails, too. Being an artist, my nails break often, so even after they grow, they're broken off, though.

I didn't know they had 5000 mcg. Hmmm..... maybe I should make the switch. Can't hurt, right? Glad to hear it's working for you also!

Thanks for your feedback!
Jen-

I just take 5 of the 1000 mcg, Jenny.   It might be more than I actually need! But I think they just get peed out, anyway.  

Sometimes I'll take 2000 or 3000 mcg if I don't feel like swallowing so darned many of them.

It really does work well, though! I agree with you. I know there's the stuff that's really expensive- hair, skin and nails--that Carmen Electra peddles... and it's just biotin, I'm pretty sure. It's super cheap at Target or Walmart! 

Thanks for the tip! I am thinking of buying some now and starting on it. Having revision surgery in a couple weeks and dreading the hair loss that may happen due to the massive pounds that are about to fall off. :) Plus, my nails suck. So hey it can't hurt right? 

Just be sure to not get frustrated if you dont see results right away. Be patient and stay on it and eventually I bet you'll notice a difference.

Good to hear about your success! Grats!  I "bought" the Biotin...but forget to take it...I really need to work that in.  :)

GRATS AGAIN :)

just keep swimming,
Swoosh 

I have been taking 5000mcg per day and after reading checked the two new bottles I bought and ugh they are 1000mcg. crap.. I guess I will take 5 a day.
I lost hair in 1992 on weigh****chers when I lost 75 pounds. I had to have injections in my scalp,since my bald spot was at the top of my head and it was quite a large spot..
I was banded in July and have lost almost 50 pounds (dr next week for official) and I am
SCARED **** LESS, that I am going bald again.
I have been taking Biotin for about a month..well when I remember to take them.
I sure hope it works..please god
