Best Answer:  Biotin 5000 mcg is a supplement which often comes in tablet form. The 5000 mcg means that 5000 micrograms of biotin are contained in the tablet, which is also equal to 5 mg; 5000 mcg of biotin is 1667 percent of the recommended daily intake of biotin..

Best Answer:  I bought this for my nails, which are splitting, and I feel that it has helped; however, not eliminated it. I think this is my 3rd bottle. I take one each morning. As to hair, I had my hair cut by my stylist, recently, and he said something to me that now hair dresser has 'ever' said (in fact, the opposite). He said, "Your hair grows fast." After thinking about what he said, I think that perhaps the Biotin is to thank for that. Just my experience. I would continue taking it on a daily basis, for sure. I have heard it takes at least 90 days to see an improvement, with any Vitamin, etc.

Best Answer:  My hair has grown and extreme shedding has stopped. Normal shedding and my nails have become really strong.

Best Answer:  I've been taking Biotin 5 mg for 3 yrs and think it works. I do think you have to take it for over a year before it'll give you solid results. I feel my hair is stronger and it doesn't break or fall off as often. Will it magically make you grow more hair? No. But, it will make your hair strand thicker so it feels you have more hair. Also, your hair will grow faster but again, you will need to take this for over a year before you get good results. It is worth the time and effort. I will continue to take it daily since I'm 43 and entering into the age where hair starts thinning. Better to start the preventative maintanence now than later.

Best Answer:  Same difference. Just a different way to measure.

Best Answer:  I take biotin for strong hair and nails. I have never heard about the itch relief. I would suspect that if there is truth to that, you should find it by Googling it. I may do that myself. Good luck!

Best Answer:  I would ask your oncologist. I take it due to meds I'm on and surgery (hysterectomy and prophylactic mastectomy) that caused my hair to thin on top as well as thinning of the eyebrows and lashes. My doctor said it was fine to take. For me it has made a difference. I no longer have gaps in my eyebrows or lashes and my hair is not so thin.

Best Answer:  Great for hair. Helps with the growth and health of hair
