Senior Member TheGman Posted August 23, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2016 If no, how long do you have to keep using it? I take 10mg a day, the acne breakout is bearable but I could go without it. I'm on pretty solid skincare regimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ontop Posted August 23, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2016 Funny you mention this, that ive been taken 10 I.U daily for yrs & do break out from time to time & I'm in my late 40s & had a nice whopping big ass spots this last few days. I have heard that this can happen with Biotin & other supplements so I may just cut my dose down to every other day to see how that works out. Also not sure if your using rogain but this also can give same sort of sides. I'm starting to think that going over the top with any of this stuff can be counterproductive in some ways. You could also get yourself tested to see what type of nutrients you could be lacking or producing at a reasonable levels. Hope that helps in some way good luck.

Senior Member gillenator Posted August 23, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2016 I agree, cutting back the dosage may bring about some improvement.

Senior Member ontop Posted August 23, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yep I am taking Msn, zink, Vit D, fish oils & Biotin every day for last 2 yrs I think all has helped to a certain degree, hair feels stronger & healthier but biggest thing is my hair feels softer & maybe thinner if that makes sense....but still healthy & shiny. As for skin yep I do have these breakouts from time to time, maybe it could be several things also such as Min use of at the start x2 a day & if I'm truthful proberly more use than I should, so I just use x1 a day with that nighttime mostly. So now I'm thinking to cut half of all the supplements per a wk intake & see what becomes from there, as like I said I think to much of all this stuff can be counterproductive in some way.

Senior Member TheGman Posted August 24, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 24, 2016 Gman/OnTop, Are you taking MSM with the biotin? I tend to see more breakouts from this than I do with biotin. Simply taking biotin. I eat a ton of brewer's yeast as well. The acne breakout is manageable I hope my system will adjust. My hair needs to grow fast so I can look presentable in the next few months before the growth kicks in! When do you advise to stop biotin?

Senior Member gillenator Posted August 26, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2016 Some are of the opinion to take the supplement until the growth has fully manifested.

Senior Member TheGman Posted August 26, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2016 Some are of the opinion to take the supplement until the growth has fully manifested. About a year then? My skin has cleared a little bit. I'm using tretinoin against wrinkles and acne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted August 26, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2016 Yes because you will have growth at least up to 12 full months....
