A member asked:
Are there any side effects of taking that dose of biotin every day?

Not really: Just take a moderate dose 1000mcg a day is much more than enough and is still very safe. It is even safe at higher doses, but i don't think you'll get a benefit.

Biotin: Safe, but not necessarily more beneficial at higher doses.
