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.

thanx for your response..have you noticed any difference or improvement since you have been using it?

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
