Sorry, I have another Biotin question. I posted to you recently that I was taking 2500mcg of Biotin in an HSN vitamin. I compared it to the GNC HSN vitamin and MOST ingredients are the same, some in the GNC brand have a little more of the particular ingredient and it has 3000mcg of Biotin. My ? is can I add another plain Biotin supplement in addition to the HSN vitamin to get closer to the 5000mcg? Do you think it would make much more difference as far as my hair? I've also been taking the Omega 3 Fish Oils 2x per day. Thanks,

Kim
 
I think you could do that and it should be a bit better for your hair. Amazon sells the Elon Matrix 5000 which has 5000mcg of biotin for $27ish. That's for 60 pills so it's two months worth if you are intersted.

So would that be INSTEAD of the HSN vitamin or in addition to? If I just added it, that would be 7500mcg. However, I don't want to lose the other HSN ingredients. So confusing. I guess I could just switch to the GNC version which 3000mcg of Biotin....or I could just buy some Biotin and take enough in addition to the HSN not to exceed 5000 mcg. I'm sorry to be so confusing but the hair thing is scary (and vain I know) and I want to do what I cna to help it recover.

Kim, I am not sure what all is in your HSN vitamin, but Elon has one with 5000mcg of biotin and other vitamins:

Apparently biotin is very safe and some take up to 16000 micrograms per day. Although I am not recommending that. I am not sure that more than 5000 is more helpful for hair, but I don't think it would hurt either.
