Biotin

[bceogirl]

Can someone please tell me what dose of biotin is safe to take ?
I saw several people reccommend it on another thread about healthy strong nails and I went and looked at the store and saw doses that varied A LOT !
For those of you taking it daily, how much do you take and are their any side effects?

Thanks !

Becky, it's 3000-5000mcg per day. I take 5000 per day. I have had no side effects.

The vitamins I take have 400 mgs in them. The only side effects I've had have been rapidly growing hair & nails. Although that could also be due to a high protein diet.

Thank you ! Do you split up the doses during the day , like with Calcium, or can you take it all at once?
Also, sorry but one more question.....is it best to take with food?

I take 3 a day in the morning. 2 are Phytophanere (you can get at Sephora or online) & 1 is Nioxin (you can get at drugstore.com). I take it with coffee.
