I have been taking Jarrow brand 5000mcg biotin 1x a day for at least 3 yrs and my nails are stronger, my hair has grown faster everywhere, but not on my face.

I think the ones I use are natures way or nature something. But I'll look for those. Bc these are take 1-5xday which equals 1000-5000mcg a day. Anywho does your hair still grow at the same rate as when you first started taking them? Hopefully the whole extra body hair will subside but for now I'll just keep my razor handy. Also I really could benefit from stronger nails so maybe a 5000mcg wil work for me. I'm gna google marrow to see what stores around me sale them. Thanks for the info!

It has good reviews on amazon...which I use a lot. But the more you buy the cheaper it gets. I have less than half a bottle so I will give these a go! Thanks for posting!

I just looked the up...you can find them on vitacost.com. I purchase most of my vitamins there. I have a supply of hair,nail, and skin now. But I will try these after I'm finished!!!

Like I said I keep my face clean with Clinique face system which I've been using for two yrs...love the stuff. But I also added a face mask facial thing once a week. It's an avocado and oatmeal mixed in a bentonite clay. Between the two my face has cleared up. Oh yea and I wash my pillow cases two a wk. before it was once a week. Also make sure you drink plenty of water to help flush out what your body won't use. I was proud I drank 8 glasses of water yesterday I'm gonna try again today lol.

Doesn't the hair finite have biotin in them? I know I take an everyday womans vitamin and it doesn't have it in there. Keep me posted on your growth!

5 a day?!?? That's crazy!!! I can't swallow that many pills a day lol. How are u doing with ur water intake? I need to up mine drastically. I have crazy growth so far but for health reasons I need more water. Oh and yeah the Hairfinity vitamins has 2500mcg of biotin in them. I just posted a pic in the "transitioners post your new growth" thread. I'm 19 weeks post texturizure and ready to cut these scraggly ends lol. I'll do a side by side of me at 7 weeks and now. It'll be posted in my blog, on here, tomorrow. 😊

That are a little bit smaller than a tic take but just to have to stop what I'm doing five times a days to take em is silly lol. I make sure I drink at least 8 glasses of water daily...for the most part I drink only water and milk (or anything I can make with the two like coffee or chocolate milk, but mainly water sometimes I add a little crystal lite if I need flavor). Oh yes I transitioned and a had a bout 2 in of perm left and I was like why am I holding on to these and just up and cut them off...never looked back. I'll be taking a look at that post. Thanks!

I get mine from whole foods. A stylist at a hair show shared her regime and the biotin was part of it. I skip weekends, and I also take One A day women's multi-vitamin.
