I've read a lot about biotin and the people who take it to grow their hair out long, but I haven't come across any results. If anyone on this board is taking it will you please let me know if it has helped you out at all? thanks!

Hi Xcountrykuhl,
I took biotin supplements for awhile. I couldn't tell if they affected my hair's growth rate (my hair is very long, after all, and I didn't measure before/after using the product)... but it did make my fingernails rock hard. That's a good thing I guess... So it probably is good for the hair.
Hope this helps.

Hi Xcountrykuhl,
I don't know if taking biotin will help your hair grow faster but it will keep it stronger. Apparently hair growth slows the longer it gets due to weight on the hair follicle. Eventually, the hair just falls out naturally so by keeping it stronger and more nourished, it can grow faster.
Hope that help.
Gilles

I just learned something else about biotin today... apparently it helps your body to metabolize protein and fats. Hmm. I might add this back into my diet.

i like biotin but it makes me break out with hard pimples. i think i have to let my system get used to it. it makes my nails super strong so they can grow long. i am guessing it will make my hair grow faster and stronger like my nails. i take 5mg (milligrams) which is equal to 5000mcg (micrograms). i am going to try msm too.

I also read that biotin is good for those with sebohrrec (sp) dermatitis. 3000 mg a day is reccomended for that use.
