For Dietary Supplementation "PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO DRINK TONS OF WATER WITH THIS VITAMIN OR ELSE. Biotin will give you acne. It will cause severe headaches. It will make you nauseous, and you will complain it doesn't work and give up. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T GET RESULTS. In reality, you're doing it wrong if you're not getting enough water! It has worked wonders for me. I have lost hair due to medications and stress. I started noticing results in two weeks (eyelashes) and two months (scalp). And you will get hair growth everywhere. My hair has never looked healthier."

Biotin for Dietary Supplementation "I started taking the Extra Strength version of Hair, Skin & Nails and have been taking the suggested dose of 3 pills per day, but spread out throughout the day, and I only take it right after I’ve eaten something. The first couple of days, it gave me nausea, bloating, and heartburn. Now today, I woke up with a horrible headache that won’t go away. I’ve been drinking water while taking it, but maybe not enough, so I’m not sure if I’m dehydrated or not. But if getting headaches is going to be a regular side effect of taking this, then it isn’t worth it. I’m pretty sure I’m just going to stop taking it altogether because I really can’t stand the thought of getting another long-lasting headache like this."

For Dietary Supplementation "Yes, it seems headaches may come with biotin. So halve the dose. It's like in the hospital when you get an infection, they give you MASSIVE doses of antibiotics to absolutely be sure to destroy everything and anything. When it has been found that half doses or less work just as well. So if you are getting headaches, stomach cramps, or feeling nauseous, just halve the dose and see. Instead of taking a pill three times a day, try it once, at lunchtime preferably. And if you are getting bald spots from rubbing in a serum, stop using the serum."

For Dietary Supplementation "My clients have successfully used high dose biotin 8mg 1-2 times/day with meals to help with symptoms of nerve pain in MS. I have also personally used it at this dosage to address nerve pain successfully. It does NOT make you nauseous or sick. People who are saying this are dealing with another health imbalance. If you are having thyroid testing, you should abstain for 72 hours before blood draw as it can produce false readings."
