A member asked:
My multivitamin has 15 mcg of biotin. would it be okay to take an additional biotin supplement with 1000 mcg? or is that too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Totally safe but...: It is totally safe to take; no toxic doses are known and research on doses of 16, 000 mcg/day safely lowers blood sugar in diabetics: http://lpi.Oregonstate.Edu/infocenter/vitamins/biotin/ biotin is found in many foods ; deficiency is rare. Deficiency causes problems with hair ; nails but it's not yet proven that large amounts help more than small amounts, though many try it for this.
