anyone taking BIOTIN supplements??

[Butterfly38]

Hi all, was just wondering if anyone was taking these supplements ? A lady on here recommended them for hair loss and dry skin so I bought them. I don't know if it's all in my mind but I feel like they are giving me a little more much much needed energy!!! Anyone else had this????

I take Perfectil hair, skin and nails. It has biotin in the ingredients. I've only been taking it for 2 weeks, I'm still losing hair but not as much as I was. I can't say they've given me any more energy though

Hi Paula yes I used to take perfectil years ago and thought they were really good. Maybe it's just a coincidence then!! I'm not complaining tho haha

 

[Paula Garner]

I wouldn't either if I had more energy

Yeah,just started tho,about 2weeks ago,can't say if they work or not yet,hopefully my skin will improve still getting slight hair loss.blood tests show my zinc is a little low so just started taking supplements for that too.Haven't noticed an increase in energy levels as yet,that would be a bonus if that's the case.

When was your surgery Butterfly and when did you start taking Biotin? Good to hear about more energy as a side effect

 

[Butterfly38]

Haven't had it yet lol just someone on here told me to start taking them for hair loss but I feel a little more energetic since starting them.

Ok, great, thanks What surgery are you having?

 

[Butterfly38]

A bypass... Getting nervous now !!

That's natural - you'll be fine How's the pre-op going (assuming you are doing one!)

 

[Butterfly38]

I don't start it For a few days. My surgeon only asked me to do 7-10 days which surprised me as everyone I've spoken to does at least 2 weeks. Have u had yours what did u have?

I'm having a sleeve - hopefully sometime in April. I have to do two weeks pre-op of low calorie, low carb. I'm trying to get various bits and bobs in pre-surgery. Can't wait for my surgery

Did you start with the high dosage(10,000mcg) or the 5,000? have you noticed any acne spots if you are taking the higher dose? I only managed to find the high dose but haven't started to take it because of the spots Bex said people can get when starting on a high dose.

Waitrose do their own version of Perfectil - they are:

Women's Well Being, Hair, Skin & Nails

They are in the vitamin section, contain biotin amongst other things and best of all - they only cost £3!

I have taken a weeks worth if the 10,000 biotin and have two zits from hell so may reduce to the 5000 ones I have. Hair is still falling out but not as much and defo looks better xxx

 

[Butterfly38]

Hi carebear, no Ive started with the lowest dose, 1000mg for that reason, was told to gradually increase them. I got them from amazon £7.49 for 100 so not bad.

 

[Butterfly38]

I did get 2 or 3 tiny spots in my neck but that's all, deffo have a bit more of a spring in my step since taking them, maybe coincidental but I do feel better.

Was told by my dietician today that I had no need to take biotin supplements as it was included in my multivitamins???? Now I don't know wether to carry on with them or not????
