Question 1

is taking biotin  10, 000 mcg supplement  harmful or will i still benefit from it. also how much chromium should i take to benefit from it?

Accepted Answer

Not harmful, depends: Biotin is very safe; there is no known toxic dose. Biotin combined with 600 mcg of chromium picolinate significantly reduces blood sugar in those with type 2 diabetes, but if you don't have diabetes you may not have any particular benefits.
See http://lpi.Oregonstate.Edu/infocenter/vitamins/biotin/.

Question 2

what dose should i take of biotin ?  i have just started taking minoxidil and popecia and was reading potential benefits from adding a biotin tablet.

Accepted Answer

Save your money: Biotin does nothing.Notice also that it is already in your food. Useful for male androgenetic hair thinning are minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride.

Question 3

can i take biotin, b12, calcium, and cranberry gummy supplement vitamins together or should i wait 30+ mins between each so that they dont cancel each other out and lessen the benefits? is this even possible with the listed vitamins?

Accepted Answer

: You may take these vitamins in any order or all at once. More important is the reason for your wanting to take these. If you eating a balanced diet you do not need to take any of these supplements.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 4

benefit of supplements at age 50+ should i be concerned taking this much in a daily tablet as i heard b2 is good for migraine aura?%nrv vit a 87%..b2 1.6mg 114%..vitd 10ug 200%..vitb6 2mg 143%..folic acid400ug 200%..biotin 150ug 300% .copper 2mg 200%

Accepted Answer

Multivitamins: I don't believe that the ingredients and their dosage will be harmful to you. The benefits, according to some,  are debatable, however. Nevertheless I favor taking a multivitamin daily.

Question 5

is it okay to take iron pills (65mg) ,b6 vitamin (100mg) and biotin pills (5000mcg) together? or should i alternate them? i need the iron pills and i heard b6 helps with blood circulation, wanted to add biotin because of skin and hair benefits. thx!!

Accepted Answer

Iron: Iron supplements are best taken with food to avoid stomach irritation and add a stool softener daily to prevent constipation. I recommend taking the other supplements either before or after taking iron. Be aware that iron can make stools appear black. Your pharmacist can also advise you about your medications.

Question 6

is 7500 mcg to much biotin to tske everyday?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Did you know that biotin is a "B complex vitamin" but it is also known as Vitamin H?  Confusing I know, but beside the point. The adequate adult dose of biotin is 30 mcg per day, but up to 2500mcg per day for hair/nail health. I wouldn't recommend more than that. Too much biotin will cause slower release of insulin, skin rashes, lower vitamin C and B6 levels and high blood sugar levels.

Question 7

is 10000 mcg biotin too much?

Accepted Answer

High dose: It is a high dose and has been recommended by some dermatologists and alternate medicine practitioners for hair loss at dose of 2000 to 10000 micrograms..It is considered a safe supplement with minimal side effects like nausea, pain, stress;anxiety, diarrhea and chest pain.And rarely itching.

Question 8

is 300 mcg of biotin too much?

Accepted Answer

No it is not too muc: No it is not too much.Daily requirement is 30 microgram per day, which is readily available in food supply.It is used as much as 8000 to 10000 micrograms dose for hair loss prevention and growth.300 micrograms is not too much accordingly.

Question 9

3000 mcg to biotin, is too much?

Accepted Answer

High dose: It is a high dose and has been recommended by some dermatologists and alternate medicine practitioners for hair loss at dose of 2000 to 10000 micrograms..It is considered a safe supplement with minimal side effects like nausea, pain, stress;anxiety, diarrhea and chest pain.And rarely itching.

Question 10
