Biotin

Question
I have had some trouble lately with hair and nail breakage, so I have been looking into taking a biotin supplement.  For biotin to be effective in strengthening and growing hair and nails, how many mcg's would one have to take every day?

Thanks in advance!

Answer
Hi Gena,

Biotin dosages for hair, nails and skin range from 1,000 to 3,000 mcgs. MSM is a sulfur containing compound that may also be helpful.

If you choose to use this much biotin you might also consider using a B-complex and a multi-mineral supplement.

Thank you,
