Foods Supplements, Biotin 5,000 mcg, Amino Acid Metabolism*, Energy Production*, 60 Veg Capsules

I bought this one based on the reviews from other customers (thank you!) and the fact that it has Vcaps. I am a white, 26 year old female and I have had skin problems since i was four years old. My theory is that i am highly allergic to mosquito/insect bites, which cause a lot of itching, and then i scratch the skin, which then gets infected and ultimately i am left with scars all over my legs. Some are brown, some lighter, some darker, some just really damaged skin without a discoloration. To this day, all the dermatologist i have seen not only have not been able to give me a diagnosis or improve my skin condition, but some of them made it worse. On top of this, i have really dry, dark knees that no amount of scrubbing and moisturizing has been able to solve. To add to all these, i have dry eyes, and migraines. I did some blood tests and I was not deficient in Vitamins, but with my history of medical doctors, i stopped trusting them (and no, you cannot blame me).Well, two weeks ago i started taking the Biotin. Today, I noticed my eyelashes are fuller and longer. I checked my legs and the dark patches on my knees are lighter, the surface smaller, and not as dry. My scars are lighter (this deserve a celebration as hundreds of dollars spent on lightening creams, coconut oil, Scaraway patches- you named it, i tried it, and still did not work) and my skin is smoother generally. And my nails are stronger and do not break as much. I also do not have to use eye drops as often as I used to, and my headaches have improved a lot. On another good note (which i am not sure if it is related) i am losing a few pounds.The only con that i had, was that my face broke out (the T zone) while i was PMS-ing, and usually i do not. But it is a small price to pay for a few days only. I do recommend it, highly so, but based on my experience I also know that what works for someone, does not work for someone else. Unfortunately, you will have to try and decide for yourself and this may take some time.

I decided to wait several months before writing a review for this product because I wanted to be able to give a full description on it's impact to my hair / health. I've been taking Biotin since August and have been very happy with the results. I am bi-racial (mother white / father black) with thick, curly hair. For the last 10years I have straighten my hair... the first 5 years chemically and with heat, the last 5 years only with heat. I put heat on hair everyday... every single day. As you can imagine, my hair was breaking a lot and it growing unevenly and slowly. For the most part, I couldn't get it to grow past the top of my shoulders. I decided to try this product after receiving a recommendation from a stylist.The first change I noticed after taking Biotin was my nails grew thicker and quicker. My nails have always been rather brittle and would break and split. For years I wore acrylics or would keep them really short. I no longer have those problems. While I do not keep my nails long, they are much tougher and stronger.It took about 1-1.5mths before I noticed an impact on my hair. This could be because I got a bad hair cut (by a different stylist) shortly before trying Biotin. Overall, my hair is growing much quicker and fuller. It has a really nice sheen and is very thick. Even my family and friends have commented on my hair growth.I have not noticed an impact on my skin. I have never been prone to acne and haven't had any problems with it since I started Biotin.Overall, I would highly recommend this product and already have to friends. Just be warned that is not some miracle drug that will give you hair like Rapunzel. It does take time to have an effect on hair. I plan on continuing for the foreseeable future.

I decided to try adding Biotin to my daily supplements after reading that it often helps with thinning hair. I chose the Now brand because it's attractively priced and I've been satisfied with the quality of their products.It's probably too early to judge as far as my hair, but I really haven't seen any difference in the month I have been taking it. My fingernails are a different story, though. Wow! I have long, strong fingernails for the first time ever.I take one capsule twice daily, as directed on the bottle. The capsules are not huge and I've had no stomach upsets even though I take them on an empty stomach.My nails have always been weak, thin, and prone to peeling and breaking. I am an avid DIYer with an old house and I constantly have some sort of project going on that is murder on fingernails - grouting tile, stripping furniture, heavy yard work, etc. I kept my nails cut extremely short because if I let them grow at all, they would split and tear immediately. I've tried the polishes and oils that claim to strengthen weak nails but they had no effect.In the month that I have been taking Biotin, my fingernails have not split, peeled or broken once and they are long for the first time ever! They are thick and strong and I'll bet I could carve my initials in a tree with them. LOLIn the scheme of things, long fingernails are not high on my list of priorities but I am certainly enjoying having long, feminine nails. I suspect that I will see improvements in my hair over time, too, since hair and nails are made of the same structural proteins called keratins, but so far I see no difference. I will update this review in the future if I see improvements in my hair.

This product is fine, and has helped my hair and nails. But I recently learned that 5000 mcg is an extremely high dosage, which can actually effect your bloodwork results! Read up before using.

I started using Biotin because of hair loss. My family has a history of hair loss in women. I am a 46-year old African American female. I also use hair relaxers on a regular basis. Every two weeks I had collected about a baseball size amount of hair from my clothes and hair comb/brush. I was devastated. My dermatologist determined the hair loss was due to female patterned baldness (not the use of hair relaxers) because the hair was coming out at the root (not breaking). She said other methods of hair styling (going natural, cornrows, pressing, etc.) can also result in hair loss so she did not recommend that I change my styling methods. Although I am female, she recommended Men's Rogaine. After doing some research, I found out that Men's Rogaine is more effective but not recommended for women because the FDA has not tested it on women. Also, Rogaine is designed to "regrow" hair, not to stop it from coming out. After using Rogaine for about a month, I had a nice little mustache like a 13-year-old teen boy. Yikes! I always had some facial hair, even over my lip, but this was very noticable to me and my husband (other's said they couldn't tell a difference). I got a hair remover and got rid of that. I also stopped using the Rogaine. I started using Biotin but I also made sure to take my multivitamin EVERYDAY, my calcium supplement EVERYDAY, and my fish oil pill EVERYDAY. Although I was taking these things before, it was more sporadic. Now, about 2 months since starting Biotin, I barely have any hair in my comb/brush and I do not have long strands of hair all over my clothes. I am very happy. Not sure if it is the Biotin alone or the combo with the fish oil and calcium but I am not going to stop taking any of them. My mom said to make sure to drink plenty of water because you could tax your kidneys with trying to flush the excess out. As far as the acne, I did notice a few pumps on my forehead but nothing horrible. I just got some Clearsil acne treatment from the grocery store and after about 3 days of use, the little pumps are almost gone. I hope this review helps you with your hair loss problem.

The wife here: I started taking biotin because my hair was in really poor condition. I had a healthy almost complete organic diet, we ate whole grains, grass-fed beef, organic chicken... I juiced veggies every day, twice a day but did not take vitamins. My hair quality was not good, my skin was dry, and my nails were not healthy. I thought I was safe because I ate so healthy. A year of adding vitamins to my diet has shown me that I was wrong. A year ago I started taking a food based women's multivitamin, biotin, a food based complex B, silica and collagen. It has made a significant change to my hair. My hair was getting really thin, the tinsel strength was gone, and it wouldn't grow. My hair has completely changed. The dry patches of skin on my hands are gone. My feet still have some dryness but the skin is significantly better! I used to go to the nail salon and spend money for gel nails because my nails were so thin and would break. Now I just go in for a manicure because my nails stopped splitting and they are super strong. I thought that I was going to have to deal with these changes because they were a part of aging. I realize that it was most likely because my diet was not keeping up with my body's needs. These changes did not happen overnight unfortunately. I have been taking the vitamins for a year. It takes time for the old growth of weak fragile hair to be replaced with strong healthy hair. I would suggest women who are not happy with the quality of their hair to invest in biotin and the other vitamins I mentioned. Biotin won't do it alone, although it REALLY helps.

NOW is an excellent brand. After researching it, I buy all my supplements if possible through NOW

I'd started experiencing hair loss & my nails would not grow. I started taking Biotin 2 years ago & immediately noticed that my nails were growing out thicker, not splitting or breaking. My nails grow out so well it looks as though they are fake!The problem with my hair took longer. There was a spot on the crown of my head that was thinning & every time I brushed my hair more would end up on the brush than staying on my head. After a couple months my hair started growing out fast & was thicker, now the bald spot is growing back in. My hair is longer, healthier & thicker than before.A couple times I stopped taking Biotin, for reasons I don't even know only to have all my nails break & hair stop growing so nicely. I won't be without Biotin again.For those who are skeptical, give it some time & take your Biotin every day. It may take longer, or you may see noticeable results right away. No matter how long it takes, once the Biotin starts working for you it is a wonderful thing!I've now started my grandmother on Biotin for her nails & hair loss. 2 years ago I was losing so much hair that I wanted to put it all on a wig for when I went bald, and my nails were so pitiful that I was having them salon done. Now my hair is thicker, fuller & growing back in. My nails look like a pink & white manicure from the salon, yet they are real! This stuff works. Give it time to do what it needs to, but it works.

Everything as in the description, fast delivery
