Y’know, I used to take it years ago…..and I cant say that it did much for hair (at least for me), but boy it made my fingernails strong….too strong…they became brittle after a while and would break all the time….

When taking biotin, take the sublingual (under the tongue) kind – its really hard to find – – but the type in a pill is broken down into three different amino acids by your stomach….it will never get into your bloodstream as biotin if you take it as a pill – – try to find the lozenges if yuo are interested in it.
