Question 1

is it ok to take biotin at night or should i take it during the day time?

Accepted Answer

Anytime: Biotin is in most foods already so you are taking some all the time. It is very safe. That being said most people with a regular diet do not need extra biotin.

Question 2

can i cut a biotin cap in half and take one half in the morning and the other half at night?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You can, but be careful not to lose contents of capsule. Why would you want to do that? The capsules are small and if you have trouble swallowing them, see your doctor.

Question 3

is it safe to half a biotin pill(10, 000 mcg  biotin with 100 mg keratin)and take in the morning and at night.

Accepted Answer

Biotin: You can take biotin, but it really doesn' t help your hair or anything else in your body.

Question 4

hello is it safe for me to take a multi vitamin in the morning then fish oil b12 and biotin at night ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There should be no problem with this combination. However, if you take other medications or have medical problems, then make sure your doctor knows that you are using these supplements.

Question 5

m 8 weeks pregnant,  is there any problem if i take biotin 5000 in morning and nestabs abc prenatal vitamins capsule n soft gel capsule one at night

Accepted Answer

Probably not: But biotin deficiency is rare and biotin readily available from dietary sources so that the need for the supplement is questionable, especially in such a large dose.  There is really no data to indicate harm in taking it, but in pregnancy we like to err on the side of caution and avoid things that are not clearly indicated.

Question 6

can a teen take biotin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: you can take biotin as long as you take it in moderation.

Question 7

should teenagers take biotin?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not needed: Biotin is present in a wide variety of food. Deficiencies are rare.
Consider discussing with your primary care doctor supplementing if:
1. Your child/ teen consumes raw eggs (raw egg white contains avidin, a substance that antagonizes biotin).
2. Your child/teen is taking valproic acid (a medication used primarily to treat seizures).
3. Is on IV nutrition (tpn).

Question 8

can i take biotin all at once?

Accepted Answer

WhatDoYouMeanAllAtOn: What do you mean all at once what?
If you mean that can you take all the piils at one time.The answer is no,And don't take more than one a day
And why are you taking Biotin?

Question 9

can a teen take 5000mcg biotin.

Accepted Answer

Dont need mo biotin: biotin deficiency is very very rare.  It is trendy right now to take if for hair and nails.  Going beyond 100 mcg per day is not necessary and there is no evidence of benefit beyond this amount.  Biotin is a water soluble B vitamin, so your body *probably* would simply pee out the extra.  So it can be a nice way to make your pee expensive :)

Question 10

what amount of biotin should i take?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on why you are taking the supplement.  The only condition that biotin treats is a true biotin deficiency.  If you have this the recommended dose is 100-1000mcg.  The recommended daily dose for dietary supplementation is 30mcg.
