What is your current daily Biotin dosage?

I was just wondering how much Biotin everyone else is taking per day?

300 mcg (.3 mg) is 100% daily value. So I'm taking 5 times that at 1500 mcg (1.5 mg)
1000 mcg / micrograms = 1 mg / milligram

POLL CHOICES
None - I never took it

None - I used to take it

Very little - up to 299 mcg (.299 mg)

300 mcg (.3 mg) - 999 mcg (.999 mg)

1000 mcg (1 mg) - 1999 mcg (1.999 mg)

2000 mcg (2 mg) - 2999 mcg (2.999 mg)

3000 mcg (3 mg) - 3999 mcg (3.999 mg)

4000 mcg (4 mg) - 4999 mcg (4.999 mg)

5000 mcg (5 mg) - 5999 mcg (5.999 mg)

6000 mcg (6 mg) and up

I just finished my first 60 tablets of 1000 mcg Biotin and I'm now upping my dosage to 1500 mcg per day. I'm not taking anything else. Just Sundown brand 1000 mcg Biotin.

My answer:

"300 mcg (.3 mg) - 999 mcg (.999 mg)"

I totaled the biotin content of my daily pill/capsule supplements (630 mcg), but did not add in quantities derived from ordinary food intake. To come up with a more accurate figure for daily intake would require additional study, but it's safe to say that I get more than 2x the daily RDA of the stuff.

Currently I am taking 5000 mcg a day. My one source hair vitamins contain 833% in each pill and your supposed to take two a day so therefore I get 1666% of my daily value!! I really have noticed a great difference in how my hair is growing now!

Nekita - I remember those Flintstones vitamins from my early childhood. Tasty.

I don't know if there are any detrimental effects of taking large quantities of Biotin. I do know that Biotin helps your body to metabolize protein, so it would seem to be a useful dietary aid. I know that when I took larger doses (current supplementation plus a specific biotin supplement), my fingernails were rock hard, but I didn't notice any effect on my hair. It was probably good for it, though.
