A 5,000 mcg, which is actually 5 mg, dose of biotin is the common dosage, and according to reports is beneficial for the health of many people’s hair, and also for nails and skin.  Biotin is actually a nutriment and if we are deficient in it, it can have a direct impact upon our hair, even making it break or fall out.

Obviously, it is this category of people who would benefit the most from taking biotin, but you must realise that because it is a nutrient the effects are not going to occur over night. The hair on your body is actually dead cells (which is the reason why it does not hurt when you have it cut), so biotin can only affect the new cells, which are at the roots, under the skin. This means that it will take at least a couple of months before you see a noticeable difference.

There have been some rumours that have had people worried that if they stop taking biotin their hair will fall out, but this is not true. Biotin is not a drug so there will be no withdrawal effects. It is possible that your hair will go back to the state it was in before you started to take it, and if that means that it was falling out, then there is that risk, but that won’t happen because you have stopped taking biotin.

You can find biotin naturally in some foods but it tends to be reduced through the cooking and preserving processes. However, you will find it in egg yolks, milk, nuts, cooked oats, liver, kidney, brewer’s yeast and soybeans. Other fruits, vegetables and meats usually contain biotin, but at lower levels, and the bacteria that is found in the colon is capable of producing their own.

Biotin works like nothing I've ever seen, or tried. I took Natures Bounty hair skin nail vitamins last spring and my hair grew amazingly fast! I stopped taking it and my hair started to fall out. I think part of the reason was from taking prednizone for about two weeks to clear up a skin rash. Now, I'm taking biotin again, and in less than 2 weeks I can already see new hair sprouting in places where you could see my scalp without separating my hair. I recommend anyone who has lost hair, or is losing hair, to start taking biotin IMMEDIATELY!!! You will be amazed from the results you'll see in such a short time. I never knew my hair could grow this fast!. You may have to shave more often, because hair will grow everywhere fast, but it's worth it to have a thick head of healthy hair. Oh yeah, you hair will grow thicker, too.

Biotin is an important element which is a nutrient and used for the metabolism of fats in the human body and is very useful for the hair growth for the male and female gender. Every one should include this vitamin in their diet for the healthy hair and fresh skin. However there is minor ratio of the biotin needed in the human body and there are very rare chances of deficiencies in the human body. If there are some deficiencies in the human body for the biotin then it results in the hair loss and skin rashes in the human body.

There are many food which can be used for the biotin and that contains biotin these are meat, egg, milk, peanuts, soy beans, grains, vegetables and fruits. So these foods can be used in case of any deficiency in the human body. However egg is one of the food item which contains the largest amount of biotin so you can use it for your diet so that if there is any deficiency of biotin in your body you can fulfill that need so this is the way biotin is useful for the human body. So every men and women can use it for their health.

Yes Biotin works, however you still need to make sure your maintenance with the hair is kept up to part with washing every two weeks or seven days. Then making sure your ends are trimmed not cut but trimmed with doing this you should see the results. Biotin works differently on people you may not see a big result or as some, you see a huge result. That just simply mean you may need to take a multi vitamin instead of Biotin. Knowing what type of hair you have is a big essential to its productivity.

I was bald from alopecia and started taking 5000 Mcg Biotin to strengthen my nails which were beginning to get brittle.  My hair grew back!  A few years later, I ran out of it on a vacation, and never got more, about 4 months later I noticed the hair was falling out again.  It takes about 3-4 months for it to make a difference, and maybe a few more to be able to quantify it.

Although biotin supplements are often used and recommended as a natural way of treating hair loss, there have never been any studies that prove that using the biotin makes any difference in someone that is not already biotin deficient. Someone who actually is biotin deficient will lose their hair, but will also go on to lose their eye lashes and eye brows in severe cases where biotin in the subject is extremely low.

There are shampoos available as well but as biotin is not absorbed very well through the skin, it is highly unlikely that they provide any benefit.
