Will Biotin make me grow more hair EVERYWHERE?

Question

I want to try GNC Women's Hair, Skin & Nails Formula but I'm worried about possible getting facial hair or more leg hair. Is 2500 mg of Biotin too much?

Answer 1

I think you mean 2500 MICRO grams, not mg as in MILIgrams.....
You can safely take up to 4 or 5 milligrams of Biotin daily, it is not too much. No, it doesnt cause other body hair to grow wildly. I have been taking Biotin in large doses of over 3000 micrograms [ equal to 3 miligrams] daily and my hair is growing in thick and dark and at a much faster rate than it normally would. I have been taking these supplements for 2.5 years.
One more thing, think of your scalp/head hair....if you didn't cut it for 5 years, how long would it grow? now think of the hair on your arms, if you don't cut that, how long does that grow? The follicles are programmed not to grow long, long hairs other than on our heads or if we are males, beards.....so the Biotin won't cause you to become a hairy person.

Answer 2

The maximum of biotin in one pill is 2,5 mg,
so yes 2500 mg at once (even in other products) is a little bit to much.
