I have heard the same thing. Good for hair, nails and skin. I take 100mcg of Biotin daily. I had also read where one can take much more of the RDA and not suffer any health problems.

Yes, I take it more for my skin even though I wouldn't mind slowing down hair loss. I used to take a multi vitamin where the dosages where small to equate to a normal sized pill. But, for some reason my skin seems to be allergic to I think B Vitamins. So, I stopped and take the following daily, once a day:

Beta Carotene: 10,000 IU
Vitamin E (dry): 400 IU
Biotin: 1,000 mcg
Vitamin C: 1,000 mg
Zinc C: 50 mg
