Biotin supplement (hair and nail growth)


 Share

Recommended Posts

So I did a bit of research into the hair/nail growth pills and the main efficient ingredient is Biotin.

We sell it in piss weak doses here so I bought the 10,000mcg on iherb for $11 and it supposed to make your hair and nails grow insane!

Has anyone tried?

I am drinking lots of water everyday as the worst side affect I could see was pimples but enough water seems to keep this at bay and I don't get acne usually so willing to chance it.

This is my first week!

Week 1 and no adverse as yet.

I am at one work site twice a week and one of the staff I haven't seen in 2 weeks keeps asking if I've done something with my hair as it looks so good and healthy! I haven't noticed any real amazing growth but it feels better.

Also I am onto my 7th brazilian laser session and have pretty no growth and now all of a sudden starting to get growth so it's working! Will just need to zap my braz again this week to keep the bastards at bay.

Energy levels much better and I'm presuming the high vit B content is the contributor.

I should have taken before photos very hard living alone

Well im nearly a month on the expensive not so potent ones...ive only just noticed in the last week my hair feels great and its actually a bit oily!?? I only use to wash my hair on a Wednesday(inbetween gym days)and a saturday. Always pretty dry hair (and just gone back to full on blonde!) Don is your hair needing to be washed more often? My skin is feeling great too.

Just wondering, if hair is dead and it's only the follicle that's "living', how would taking the pills thicken hair and make it glossier? Wouldn't the effect take months? This question is purely educational- not smart arsed (as I know tone can be a subjective thing online!). I've been debating about buying some but this is the question that makes me hesitate. Any insights welcome!

Why would it need to take months based on that? It also has a crazy effect on nail growth and strength very very quickly. I'm not sure exaxtly how it works as I'm not a scientist but it's working for me and I was happy with my research prior to purchase. It actually makes all the body hair grow faster :(. My hair is noticibily longer but it may not be for everyone :)

I though because it'd affect the "new growth" not existing hair that'd it'd take a while to transform it- like when you grow out dyed hair. All good- if it works it works! Bummer about the faster growth on other areas of the body- but at least it shows it's working- thanks for the feedback Don

So i 'think' from the little research and a science degree, i believe biotin work by having healthier hair follicles so 1. improve growth. 2. produce healthier hair oil which conditions existing hair so they are shiner/ smoother.  :confused:

Well I've now been taking these for 4weeks and I can say I've definitely noticed a difference in my hair. Less hair fall and less hair in the brush. Even my partner has noticed that it hasn't been all over the floor . I usually have great skin so haven't noticed any difference there nor any unpleasant side effects. My nails grow very quickly but still chip off as i am a hairdresser and always have my hands in water so they will probably never change.. I'm very impressed with this product and i will keep using it. How are your results Donatella?
