A member asked:
What is the recommended dosage of biotin supplements for hair loss?and will it cause my metabolism to slow down if it is already fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: There is no recommended dosage; biotin deficiency is extremely rare, and most cases are due to chronic consumption of raw egg whites (due to avidin in them). I don't think the supplements will necessarily cause harm, but without documented biotin deficiency, i doubt they will do any good, either.
