        I'm nearly 60 with a thyroid condition that caused thinning hair and nails. The first time I used this product, it started working within about 2 weeks taking one capsule daily. I'm hoping it will get the job done again.

        This product has dramatically improved my fingernails. My nails were a terrible sight, splitting and peeling. This is easy to take and no side affects or after taste. Thank you.

              I have very long hair with loss all over, but especially at temples. I haven't even finished my first bottle (2 pills daily) and already my hair is growing back .I can see my hair at the temples growing ,which hasn't happened in years.I am also using the mill creek biotin shampoo & conditioner. I leave the conditioner on for 10 minutes to get the maximum benefit .

                  My hair was thinning due to taking blood pressure medicine. I heard from a hair dresser to take Biotin and I began on this product almost 9 months ago. I notice my hair growing within the first 6 weeks. My hair has grown thicker and longer. My skin has also become clear and smooth. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!

                          PCOS has caused thinning hair and awful skin for most of my adult life and I have to say... this is THE BEST... a friend actually asked me what I was doing because she noticed my hair thickness and nails (finally no need for acrylics)

                              I have Hypothyroidism and have had problems with very weak nails, dry skin and losing hair. My doctor recommended Biotin as well as several other supplements and I've noticed a huge difference with these issues since taking this pill. I would definitely recommend!

                                          I had lost my hair due to chemotherapy. My hair was growing back very slowly. I started taking Biotin along with Silica and my hair has grown back freakishly fast. I recommend it.

                                              I've been taking biotin in order to help stimulate hair growth. I used this daily with a combination of horsetail grass and I've notice that my hair has grown at a slightly faster rate (from about a half inch per month to nearly a full inch). My nails are stronger, too.

                                                  I like this supplement. I have had no side effects, the pills are small and kind of oblong. There is not funny smell or taste. My hair has grown a lot and my nails are stronger and lovely. My friend, who is a nurse, recommended that I try these supplements (since I had thinning parts of my hair due to psoriasis on my scalp). No regrets! You have to remember, that not everyone will have the same results, but this is a convenient and inexpensive start.

                                                  Tracy G: 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.. Jan 18, 2013

                                                  Guiomara I: the milligram is the long form of the abbreviated mg. One mg is equal to 1000 micrograms. This means that a milligram is 1000 times bigger than a microgram. Also, a milligram is a thousandth smaller than a gram. The milligram is the more frequently used unit of measurement due to its bigger size.
                                                  Milligram and microgram can be converted interchangeably. To convert a microgram to a milligram, the value of the microgram should be divided by 1,000. To do the reverse process, the milligram should be multiplied by 1,000 to get the microgram. Conversion between two units is easier in the metric system where both milligram and microgram belong because the system is based powers of ten. Both standard units of measurement are very vital especially in pharmaceutical or drug dosages.

                                                  Michele O: They are the same.
                                                  1 microgram (mcg) = 0.001 milligrams.
                                                  1 milligram = 1000 micrograms (mcg)

                                                  Nancy W: There is no difference. 1 miligram is 1000 micrograms so there's no difference. Jan 18, 2013

                                                  BERARDO M: 1 mg (milligram) = 1000 mcg (micrograms). Therefore, 5 mg is the same amount as 5000 mcg. Jan 18, 2013

                                                  Hideyasu H: Exactly the same.
                                                  Mcg means microgram.
                                                  The daily allowance of biotin may be the mcg level, probably from 200 to 500ug.
                                                  Exsactly the same.
                                                  mcg means microgram.
                                                  Daily allowance may be the mcg level.

                                                  Hideyasu H: Biotin is the fundamental co-factor of keratin synthesis.
                                                  The other vitamins also need for hair growth.
                                                  They are Vitamin B1, B2, B6, and B12; those are known as mitochondrial enzyme co-factors.
                                                  Glutathione (100 - 200 mg) and 10 mcg of Se are also needed to activate pentose phosphate pathway which is known as a life support system of a cell.

                                                  Alkaloids (Cepharanthine, Isotetrandrine, Cycleanine, Berbamine) also work good for hair growth.

                                                  While, we should notice about the supplements for hair growth also induce arteriosclerosis. At this point of view, Hall body vascular cleaning (1,2) is also introduced at Sakura Clinic Hakata.

                                                  Claudia S: 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. Feb 18, 2013
