    Thumbs up Biotin is BOSS!

    I could not figure out, why, for the life of me, my fingernails have grown out so long, hard and shapely...till it hit me...The Biotin!! I started taking some off and on a couple weeks ago for hair growth but DAMN I just never expected it to go to work like that!

    Wish I had some before and after pix, my nails were these awful stubby little flakesters. And they actually have always grown in a weird shovel, or like expanded tip shape, so I have always lusted after nails that grow out straight and shapely and now I got 'em! I can never stop taking this stuff! And I highly recommend it to everyone.

    I recently started taking a hair and nail supplement containing biotin as well as other b vitamins, folic acid, msm, etc. Great so far. Just make sure you research what and how much your taking. Too much biotin CAN be POTENTIALLY harmful.

    peachplumpear, you are so right, I swear by it. MSM is good stuff too for hair and nails and very inexpensive.

    I could be wrong, but I think that since biotin is a B-complex, which is water soluble, the risk for toxicity is very low. If you take in too much of a water-soluble vitamin or mineral, you just pee it out. Fat-soluble though (A, D, E, & K) are stored in body fat, so you don't just pass them if you take in too much - thus the higher risk for toxicity.

    Also, I read somewhere that if you eat a lot of egg whites without the yolk, this can actually lead to a biotin deficiency...

    There always has to be someone who wants to be the very first to jump on a thread-starter under the auspices of warning them "for their own good". Peachplumpear is excited about biotin, the stuff works for her. @ Danni - Why can't she just have that without being told it's potentially dangerous? EVERYTHING is potentially dangerous in excessive amounts. I know it, she knows it, we all know it. We're adults, not children and from a third party perspective I'm telling you it doesn't look like friendly advice, it looks like you're raining on her parade.

    Not at all. And I'm not even sure how you found my post to be anything but constructive? If you read my post I said I AM TAKING a biotin supplement as well and that it's working GREAT SO FAR!
    However I am always wary of supplements and vitamins. I research everything I take and weigh the potential risks to benefits. I have read some cases where megadosing these supplements can lead to health problems.

    It's seems so contradictory to think of a vitamin or supplement to be derogatory to your health when typically they are extremely beneficial so most people don't even consider that.

    I would not waste my time just to "rain on someone's parade."

    I only take it every couple of days, I'm not together enough to take something all the time. I do take a bunch of other stuff though so I always add milk thistle to the mix and lotsa water!

    Biotin worked wonders for my hair and nails, but it made my face breakout terribly. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I have been taking biotin on/off for a whole year with other vits. It helped my hair a lot after my fusion extensions were falling out. Taking Vit B with it helps it more, and taking vits with food is better. It also takes about 30 days for biotin to kick in.

    Yes! Me. I didn't even take it everyday either. Same thing happens with MSM. Boo. The good stuff hates my pores.

    Try Silica. I've been taking that and no breakouts so far. I'm about to get the hair pills again. Those never made me breakout. ETA - Add flax into your diet too.

    Has anyone else noticed it made their HAIR oily? I've been taking it for a few weeks and then all of a sudden I started to realize my hair was getting greasy hours after I had just washed it!! Could this be from Biotin or did I just turn into an overnight dirtbag?

    I've been taking biotin faithfully but it hasn't done anything for me. Actually, I naturally have very strong nails that grow very long without breakage and they have been chipping and peeling recently=( Maybe my body just doesn't like it...

    I'm glad it works for you though!!!

    Totally happens with me. You have to watch how much you take. Too much = oily hair, dry face, and bad breakouts that can't be stopped. I wonder if biotin messes with estrogen/testosterone hormones or something?

    I can't eat those gummy vitamins because I end up eating like 1/4 the jar LOL. And then my body goes out of wack because of the influx of vitamins.

    I used to have the oily hair problem but then I started taking Vitiman D gel caps and fish oil caps (1 each per day) and no more greasy hair. I can wash my hair once every four day. But working in a strip club and giving lap dances and stuff... the first thing I wanted to do when I got home was wash all of me, including my hair.

    ^ 1 a day could range from 100 mcg to 5000 mcg.

    I take 5000 to 10,000 mcg of biotin per day and didnt notice a difference.. I noticed my Vit E made my face more oily, I started taking E with A and it seemed to help.

    I still wanna see some before & after photos of biotin results... not even anyone here, just one shot before one shot 2-weeks after.... for me, biotin hasn't done a damn thing. Weird.

    Biotin is great if you are not break out prone. Unfortunately, I was one of those who broke out to it as well . I have a pretty clear face with hardly any pimples, but I am prone to break outs if something sets it off...and biotin made me a pizza face.

    Have you tried MSM & fishoil(or flax)? MSM is suppose to be just as good too. I can't take MSM bc it made me break out too.

    Black regular coffee rinses also help with faster hair growth.
