How much Biotin do you take?

I was taking 5000/day... and was getting all sorts of excess facial hair (yet I noticed no significant improvement in my fingernails!)... so it really depends on the person.  1000/day seemed to slow down the facial hair growth, but did not seem to do anything to help my hair grow any faster.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

I have taken Biotin (5000mcg) before and after surgery. It was really helpful in growing stronger hair and I am sure it will keep me looking just as great!!! I think you will do fine with Biotin.

I've been taking 7,500 mcg a day for the last few months even prior to surgery. It helped to thicken my hair before it started falling out. That started about 2 weeks ago. Love my fast growing nails, though!
