A member asked:
Could 5000 mcg of biotin be helpful or harmful during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: 5000 micrograms OB biotin is not recommended during pregnancy as it increases the risk of miscarriages, and inhibited fetal and placental growth in rats.But no human studies have been done.But a balanced diet including egg yolk, pork, liver, salmon, cheddar cheese and whole wheat bread contain biotin and normal bacteria in the intestines can also synthesise biotin. Most pregnant women do not supplemen.
