Sooo I was at the vitamin shop earlier getting some essential oils and I happened upon the Biotin - I grabbed a bottle of the 1000mcg capsules. The bottle says 1 a day, so should I stick with that or should I do 2? Anybody have any insights/experience?

The ones I take are 5,000. They really haven't done anything, but I take them anyway. I guess I am afraid to find out what would happen with no biotin.

I take 1000 biotin every day, along with my super B. I "think" my hair has stopped falling out; it seems to be more closely tied to my thyroid medication and not the B vitamins, but I'm with Oregon Daisy--don't want to see what happens if I stop it. :-)

I take 2, 2,500 a day, love my hair n nails!

I've been taking 5000 mcg 2 x per day. I think the hairloss would be worse if I didn't take all these vitamins & supplements. I love how my eye lashes are longer. I'll try anything. I even got some doo gro but I dont think I can handle the smell.

Doo gro?

I was just lookin at Doo Gro online and went to my local Sally's Beauty Supply. All they had was the hair growth oil and the lady said it would be really oily in my hair. She said to try http://www.wildgrowth.com/ so i am trying it. She had lap band surgery a year ago and looks great. She also suggested sally's version of nioxin called nutri-ox. I am (hair) thin from a procedure I had done in january so i am trying anything i can. Even looking at that powder you pu on your white skull to make it look fuller. Hoping the other stuff works..

I read somewhere that overdosage of biotin is not a problem, because it is water soluable and can be easily removed by the kidneys. You may want to check with your doc to confirm.
