A member asked:
Nails splitting and losing hair how much bioten can be taken to help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
5000/day: I generally suggest 5000 micrograms once a day, or 1000 micrograms 3 or 4 times a day. (an exact, ideal dosage has not been established.) know that it might take several months to see improvement. If you don't see improvement, you should see your doctor to rule out an underlying medical problem.
