I've been taking Biotin vitamins for the past several months, and I just got a new bottle. The bottle I used to use didn't say anything about age restrictions, but the new bottle says 18+. I don't want to stop using it since it makes my hair and nails grow super fast and strong, and also seems to give me a boost of energy when I'm usually pretty sluggish. But at the same time, I don't want it to harm me. What should I do?

And I'm 15 right now.

Hi Snowbunny. This is a legal disclaimer their lawyers recommended. There is no medical reason for not taking reasonable doses of Biotin supplements at your age.
Note: nutrients work in harmony. All of them are required for optimum biochemistry in your body. Consequently, it may be wise to take a quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplement as well.
Lastly, remember that supplements are just that - supplements to a healthy diet. Be sure you are eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and berries and avoiding the processed foods and junk foods.
Best wishes and good luck.

it says 18+ because that vitamin only can be used for people that are 18 and older. becaus eit might have a thing in it that younger people cant drink. ok!
