A member asked:
Is biotin and mcg safe to take when breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Biotin is safe. By 'mcg' maybe you are referring to microgram? That's a unit of measurement, not an ingredient. If there was another ingredient you had a question about, consider resubmitting the question.
