Is it safe to take biotin 10000 mcg, when i am breastfeeding my 4 months baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why so much biotin?: The recommended daily dosage of biotin is 30-100 mcg per day. There is no benefit to taking such a high daily dose of biotin. Biotin is a water soluble vitamin- the excess will end up in the urine and possibly into your breastmilk. I don't recommend taking such a high dose of biotin while breastfeeding.
