Biotin...?

Question

I'm 15 and want to grow my hair out for a banquet I'm going to in the spring. I read that biotin helps with nails and hair. I was just wondering if anyone reading this had tried it for the purpose I'm considering taking it for and did you get any major results? It is just a vitamin, right? So would it be safe to take at my age?

Thanks for reading

Answer 1

Biotin does help, a minimum of 2500 micrograms daily or up to 5000 micrograms daily is going to help support healthy hair growth, but there are several other minerals and elements that support hair growth and there are several supplements that combine them all into one pill so that you don't have to take a dozen separate pills to get them.
Biotin is water soluble in the body meaning that if you take more than your body needs, it is eliminated in the urine. You cannot overdose on just Biotin, however prenatal vitamins CAN be bad for a young person due to their high iron content and the fact that they are formulated for pregnant women and NOT for hair and nail support.
