ok after readin around the internet ive read about BIOTIN used for haur to make it healthy and grow fast. I asked my hairdresser and she didnt know much about it, but warned that it might make my hair grow out everywhere else on my body Wich is not what i want obviously. So anyone take Biotin? Hows it effected your hair? and also i know its vitamin but how much do i take and is it just called Biotin or is it anothe vitamin (the B) that i need to buy? Any help will be so greatly appreciated

I've been taking a high potency multivitamin/mineral for quite some time now and I have seen a hugh difference in my hair...I don't know if it's the biotin in it but I am not losing my hair anymore. Do not worry, biotin won't make you hairy in other places ;-) Try to get a B-Complex with 300 mcg of Biotin in it...good luck!

I've been using Peak Advantage Multi from Vital Age Formulations...but you can use any type of high potency multi as long as it has a good dosage of Biotin in it...300 to 600mcg
