Is it safe to take biotin 5000 mcg while pregnant ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Recent research suggests up to 50% of pregnant women are deficient in biotin and deficiency can increase the risk of birth defects. 5000 mcg is a relatively large dose but it is perfectly safe- there is no evidence that too much biotin has ever hurt anyone! see http://www.Bastyrcenter.Org/content/view/609/.
