Nastasska and Rini, I've noticed absolutely no adverse effects at all.  Super pleased with the results.     If anything changes on this matter, I'll let you know.

Wow Dave...that is a HUGE increase in Biotin!  Have you had any side effects from that dosage (besides decreased shedding...which I would call a GIFT!)?  I wonder also if your hair will get longer now?? If the shedding has decreased, then the hairs will have a chance of growing longer before they fall out.

Keep us posted on this!!!

For the past few years I've been regularly tweaking my supplementation regimen and made a "startling" discovery recently.

For the past 4 months, I've upped my intake of protein, since I've been exercising more vigorously.  But a month or two ago, when I upped my supplemental biotin intake from 1030 mcg (combined) to 10,430 mcg (combined), I noticed that my hair fallout rate was roughly halved!  This was a huge discovery for me, since within the past year my hair has reached a statis (not getting any longer - new growth only kept up with fallout).  Now I have hopes of getting thicker hair -- or at least, another leg up in my fight against (future?) male-pattern baldness.  Yay!
