A member asked:
I'm 16 yers old would it be okay to take two biotin pills that contain 10,000 mcg or is that to much for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like a lot: Adequate intake of biotin is 25-30 mcg for adolescent and 35 mcg for an adult daily. So 10,000 mcg sounds like a very large amount.
