I followed a strict daily regimen of these pills for nine months when I noticed my ponytail had grown two inches!!! I checked everything I was taking and found the biotin supplement was the only thing that would cause nail and hair growth. <br />I am a black woman with fairly thick hair past my shoulders. My whole life, people have complimented me on my hair but after the biotin use, strangers would stop me in the street and talk about my hair. With that being said, I highly recommend biotin (from 1000mcg to 5000mcg) daily for at least one year for someone follicular challenged. It is a water soluble vitamin which means it's pretty safe as you will urinate any excess out everyday unlike fat soluble vitamins that stay in fat cells and take time to leave the body.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-61117783596089405122012-07-13T01:24:53.573+03:002012-07-13T01:24:53.573+03:00I've been taking Biotin for almost a year and ...I've been taking Biotin for almost a year and I must say I've seen some improvement with my hair growth. I have always dyed my hair a lighter color than my natural and ever since I started taking it I noticed I have to dye my roots more often. So I definitely believe that Biotin does help with hair growth. The only down side I've noticed is that my skin gets extremely oily and it started after taking Biotin, I guess, since it became so oily it made me break out a bit and had to start contolling my oily face with salycic acid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-82551720138982061762012-04-23T11:10:01.127+03:002012-04-23T11:10:01.127+03:00@Jen - Molasses is supposedly high in iron, so be ...@Jen - Molasses is supposedly high in iron, so be careful people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-82395783998443461742012-02-19T10:36:55.551+02:002012-02-19T10:36:55.551+02:00For hair health and growth, best to eat foods rich...For hair health and growth, best to eat foods rich in vitamin B complex, rather than taking isolated supplements, or even B complex supplements. <br />I eat liver and take brewer's yeast and blackstrap molasses.

Anyways it was on d-Biotin, which from what Ive heard, is better than the regular form/USP.<br /><br />The regular bland "Biotin", could be anything I guess, just not specified. <br /><br />Started not paying any attention to it since I was under the impression that adding eggs to diet could offset any deficiencies, but it seems the whites cancel that out. I did happen to take 5000mcg for 100days(2 years ago) and did notice increased fingernail/hair growth.

Sunlight (and thus vitamin D) probably plays a role, but what about people living near the equator? I haven't seen a comparison of seasonal patterns in hair/nail growth in different latitudes.<br /><br />- JLLJLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-20713039466624254992011-05-20T03:05:01.948+03:002011-05-20T03:05:01.948+03:00Reread the abstracts again.

I do not know the kind of doses a guy would take, guys may have to be careful not to reduce sex drive. The female dose in the trail was a cup of spearmint tea twice a day for 5 days. If you google you will find more info.<br /><br />Being a woman I am quite happily trying the spearmint tea trail out for myself to see if it reduces body hair.clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06427523343602754469noreply@blogger.com
