How often should I take the vitamin Biotin 5000 mcg?

Answer by  MedStudent01 (1131)

Taking this vitamin once daily should be enough. The human body does not need much of this vitamin because it is efficiently recycled in the body. You should only take more if you eat lots of raw eggs as a protein supplement.

Biotin of Vitamin B7 is an important vitamin for our body. In such high doses it is usually used for falling hair, problems with the nails. Although the recommended daily dosage is around 1000 mcg per day when used for treatment higher doses are prescribed. I would suggest to start at 2500mcg per day, but no more than 5000mcg.

Vitamin Biotin 5000 mcg should not be taken more than once a day. Taking vitamins too often can lead to adverse side effects, including problems with absorption of other necessary vitamins from food. You should consult your doctor for any vitamins that you are taking more than a standard daily vitamin.

Biotin is for the growth of hair, skin and nails. These pills can be bought over the counter at any pharmacy. It is recommended to take Biotin at 5000mcg only two times a day, since the dose is so high. This will make your hair, skin and nails healthier.
