A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
