Question 2

Question 3

can biotin cause vitiligo?

Accepted Answer

No: Vitiligo is an autoimmune problem and it is not related to biotin.

Question 4

can biotin cause constipatio?

Accepted Answer

No: In and of itself, it should not cause constipation.

Question 5

help can biotin cause your face to flush?

Accepted Answer

No: According to at least two professional drug information sources, biotin is not associated with facial flushing.

Question 6

can biotin 10,000 cause me to have headaches?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: The RDA of biotin is 300 mcg.  There are no known side effects of biotin at high doses, but there are no regulations for overseeing vitamins in this country so who knows what is actually in the particular pill you are taking.

Question 7

will taking biotin cause a female to be more fertile than normal?

Accepted Answer

No, unless . . .: We get all the biotin we need in the normal diet. Any touted benefits of additional biotin are not well-proven.  If a person was so profoundly malnourished as to be low in biotin, then feritlity is decreased, but just fixing the biotin deficiency, in that case, would not alone restore fertility. Biotin supplements can cause some SERIOUS constipation in some folks (like moi!)

Question 8

i stopped taking biotin. could that cause a rash on my back and chest?

Accepted Answer

No: Biotin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamins that helps enzymatic function in the body. It is rare for people to have a deficiency; adults should not get more than 20-30 units per day. There is a characteristic rash of biotin excess: facial acne..so the rash you describe shouldn't be a delayed reaction from getting too much. Rashes don't develop when you stop something. Look for another cause:)

Question 9

i learned that biotin makes you gain weight and causes acne. is that true?

Accepted Answer

Anecdotal: But i'm impressed with what i've read, at least about acne flares. If you're taking it "for your hair" (and i can't guarantee it), you're welcome to start using benzyol peroxide on your face at the first sign of an acne breakout, or before; to avoid weight loss, hit the treadmill or your favorite fitness activity.

Question 10

does biotin help your body?

Accepted Answer

Essential 4 health!: As a vitamin, by definition biotin is an essential nutrient.
While deficiency is uncommon, low biotin can cause hair loss, dermatitis, and skin rash, ataxia, seizures, and other neurologic dysfunctions. High doses can be helpful for skin and hair health as well as blood sugar regulation. See http://draxe.com/biotin-benefits/ and http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins/biotin
