A member asked:
I have some 10,000mcg biotin tablets which i bought is it okay to take them i am a 16 year old female.

Yes. However...: It is perfectly safe to take 10,000 mcg of biotin. That sounds like a lot, but it is the same as 10 mg. There is no known toxicity of biotin but that's a much higher amount than most people need so I wonder why you want to take it. Biotin deficiency is rare. Those who are deficient may lose hair but if not deficient it doesn't help hair. High doses may help diabetes.See http://tinyurl.com/p9rob63
