I had to do a search for biotin because I thought that I read where individuals experienced breakouts, so I wanted to check and see if this was true as I just started taking it yesterday. I purchased mine from an Adventist Book & Health store near my home.
I used to use the Vitamin Shoppe 5mg kind and I didn't see results, but now I see I am not the only one. So I purchased 800 mcg of
Biotin by Thompson . The label says
high potency. I am telling you I am experiencing this tingling and itching and bristling on DAY 2. I thought I was going crazy. I can say that it is not an allergic reaction, because I would have a rash and itch and have shortness of breath. This just feels like blood circulation or something. I also take it with my daily multi-vitamin (which does not contain biotin). I
that taking biotin with other b-complex vitamins helps.

Best used with
Biotin should be taken with the B-group vitamins, but Vitamin C, Vitamin B 5 (pantothenic acid), Vitamin B12 and sulfur are good companions to it. A tricologist will sometimes add biotin to the diet of a patient suffering from alopecia, to help with severe hair loss, but it must be in the right quantities to satisfy the inter-dependence of other nutrients - such as found in our Hair, Skin and Nail supplement </font>
I got that information from
Here
I am excited about this and can't wait to see what results I will see in a month or 2.
ETA: My pills are 800 mcg each, but the directions state that you can
take one tablet up to three times daily. Also, there are other ingredients in my pills: Cellulose, rice flour, silica, and steraric acid.
