I've recently started takin biotin tablets about 2100mcg, and iv noticed that my stools  are turning a funny yellowly colour? im not sure if i should be worried?

Ive heard of your pee turning a bright yellow colour, but iv been taking a lot of water which would have counter-balanced the problem!!

anyone else witness similar problems?

I have been taking Biotn for about 2 weeks now but I haven't noticed any change in my stools.  Is there an 800 number on the bottle that you could call to ask them about it or maybe you could go to you local health foods store or GNC and ask one of the workers there about it. 

Are you taking more than the recommended amount that's put on the bottle?

I take 4500 mcg daily and don't get that.  Has your diet dramatically changed?

Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have.

no matter how much biotin you take, it shouldn't have side effects since it's water-soluble. Excess of what ur body doesn't need will be excreted from your body, I have heard some supplements do that showing that the product is working in your system, but don't worry, you should be fine.
