Does biotin really work if so how much should i take for rapid hair growth?

Biotin: Overall good nutrition is a must for good skin and hair growth. The B vitamins and vitamin A in low doses may be useful. If you still have significant issues with hair growth or hair loss, I recommend seeing a dermatologist.
