Biotin Review

I have seen alot on the Internet about taking biotin for hair and nails.  My nails have always been really healthy but my hair was beginning to get thinner and thinner.  I decided to give it a try.  I bought mine at Walmart for $7.96 for 120 capsules.  I went with the strongest ones,  10,000 mcg. The directions said to take one a day so that's where I started with it.  Within just a couple days,  my face started breaking out,  mainly my chin.  But I must add that I have struggled with adult acne off and on as long as I can remember on my chin. I'm not gonna sugar coat it,  it got bad for a few days.  I knew it must be the biotin so I backed off the dose and changed to taking it every other day.  I diligently cleaned my face with astringent several times a day and within a few days it was all gone.  My skin has never looked clearer! I am so happy with it now! I figure it was just bringing up all that buried oil and dirt.  I haven't noticed a big difference in my nails but let's talk about my hair.  I have dark brown hair so the thinning was pretty noticeable.  It was depressing.  After starting the biotin,  I noticed alot less hair on my comb and in the drain. My hair isn't growing any faster but it most definitely is thicker and stronger,  yay! I have been taking biotin every other day now for almost a month and  I am very very happy with my results.  I do want to add that I did talk to my doctor before taking biotin and he recommended I try it.  So please,  before starting this,  or any new vitamin regimen,  talk to your doctor.  Let me know if you've tried biotin or are going to try it.  I'm curious to hear others results.  Thanks for taking the time to read this!
