Can a 12 year old child take biotin 5000 mcg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Good studies have not been done on the long term effects of that dose of biotin on either adults or children. Normal recommended intake for an adolescent is 30-100 mcg. Additional amounts may be necessary in rare situations.
