Hi... There's a big biotin thread somewhere here on LCF, it's what got me started taking it. I began with the 1000 mcg once a day and later began using the 5000 mcg once a day.

Maybe the people who viewed your thread didn't know how to respond or if was okay to recommend how much you should take?

You might check the vitamins and supplements board and see what's there.

I take 5000mcg's myself and have noticed that my nails grow nicely now and my hair isn't breaking as much.

There is also a thread in the ML that has a lot more people's experiences with it and how much they take. HTH!

Cheri and AllieCat, I just started Biotin.

Thanks for the link, I knew I'd read it somewhere, just couldn't remember where it was. Is it me, or does this message board seem HUGE some days?

My hair has always been thick, easy to grow, but LCing seemed to cause it to begin falling out easier. Since taking the Biotin, I almost never see loose hairs after showering, and my nails grow insanely fast! It's good stuff.

You're welcome. It was that thread that made me want to try the Biotin. My nails are so thin and bendy, that they would rip...not break, but rip, that I would just go and get acrylics so I would have a nice manicure.

The boards do seem huge some days. Probably why I only visit a few forums. I hang mostly in the main lobby. Try to utilize the "search" feature. That also helps immensely when trying to find posts on certain topics.

I've actually been using GNC's Hair, Skin and Nails vitamins and it's working very well. It has more than just Biotin in it.
