Q: When Should I Use This Product?

A: If you notice signs of deficiency: thinning hair, hair loss, dry skin, brittle nails, then adding supplemental biotin would likely be a good idea. If you find that it is difficult to consume sufficient amounts of B vitamins in your diet, that could be another indication where supplemental biotin could be helpful.

Q: Who Can Benefit?

A: For most healthy individuals biotin is considered to be a safe nutrient to supplement with, when dosed appropriately. Issues might arise if one overdoses on biotin. In that case, the person might experience stomach ache, skin rashes and fluctuating glucose levels in the blood stream. These issues are generally avoidable if one follows the doctor’s prescription or the recommended intake. The current range that is considered to be within tolerable limits is between 5000-10000 mcg per day. If you are supplementing with higher doses of biotin and you are doing blood work, it is generally a good idea to stop a few days prior to testing. There is some indications that excess consumption of biotin can impact test results, particularly thyroid testing.
