6.1
For Dietary Supplementation: I’ve been taking Biotin 1,000mc for 6 weeks and so far it appears that my hair isn’t thinning so much and my nails seem stronger and no longer breaking easily as they were. I had to go to the hair salon sooner than usual so my hair is growing too and I feel like I have more energy. So far so good! |
4.8
For ADHD: It helped with the ADHD and helped my son to focus better. For ADHD: My 8 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD at age 4. We did not start medication until 1st grade, but are glad we finally did. He is currently taking Vyvanse. I read some materials on Fish Oil and brain functioning and specifically ADHD. When my son comes home from school the medication effects are diminishing and he tends to get emotional and irritable. When that happens, we give him 2 fish oil capsules and within about 1/2 hour he usually calms down and returns to focus better. We use Nordic Naturals Omega 3-6-9 Junior with 135 mg EPA and 90 mg DHA. The capsules are lemon flavored, small and easy for a child to swallow. |

For Dietary Supplementation: I’ve been taking this vitamin for three weeks and can honestly say that I have seen a difference in hair growth (approximately one inch). I haven’t had any side effects that some people have listed although I have noticed that I have had stomach cramps/ trapped gas every single day. I’m not sure if it is related or if I’ve picked a slight bug/virus up from my family (?). Overall I’ve had a positive experience so far, but my concern is - what happens when you stop taking it? What will the impact be if all of a sudden my body isn’t receiving biotin at this current dosage??
