Question

What is the recommended daily biotin pill dosage for treating hair thinning?

Answer 1

Biotin: 5000 micrograms per day.

Answer 2

Depends: Biotin deficiency is rare and there is no set daily allowance in the us. Biotin is also known as vitamin h or vitamin b7 and is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. High dosages in the range of 5, 000 mcg are often used for hair loss, skin and nail problems and and to help with sugar metabolism issues.

Answer 3

Let me help: Infants and children— birth to 3 years of age: 10 to 20 micrograms (mcg). 4 to 6 years of age: 25 mcg. 7 to 10 years of age: 30 mcg. Adolescents and adults— 30 to 100 mcg. Cosultant.

Answer 4

No standard: No recommended daily allowance as it is so widely available in foods. Rare genetics, stomach surgery, infant dermatitis, people who make it a habit of eating raw egg whites long term (months) risk for biotin deficiency since raw egg whites bind this vitamin. Does not happen with cooked egg whites. Estimated adequate intake for an adult is 30 mcg. Low biotin may rarely causes skin rash, hair loss.

Depends: If you are on Prednisone you should not just stop it. You need to work with your doctor on managing your dose. It needs to be decreased slowly based on your clinical symptoms and response to dose reduction. You should talk to your doctor before changing your dosage.

Answer 10

Depends: Maybe nothing. Maybe it would come back. Usually, i keep tapering my patient's dose down until they are able to come off the Prednisone completely. If you've been on 5mg for a year, you probably want to slowly decrease it under your dr.'s supervision to avoid adrenal insufficiency.
