Experiences with

Biotin

But seeing Endo Saturday and i will tell him i had taken small dose of Biotin. Any advice?

hi has anyone on this group used biotin for hair loss my hair has gone that thin I could literally cry 😢 to the point that you can see my scalp help needed or any recommendations thanks 🙏

The researchers found the changes in gut bacteria communities were associated with a decrease in riboflavin and biotin in people with Parkinson's disease.

Hello, As part of my daily suppliment intake I take the full range of B vitamins (B1-12), which includes 50mcg biotin. As I understand it, this is less than the 20mg which would affect my T4 levels, is that right?

I checked my multi vitamin and it has Biotin in it? Would this make a big difference- should I ask for re-test?

My hair is so thin or snapped or fell out, besides eating more protein I have biotin injections but it’s getting worse, would not be so bad if I was a man but unfortunately am not!

I have PCOS can anyone tell me whether this is help with hair loss on scalp and growth if so how long did it take to work?

Ordered a medichecks iron panel blood test & how long prior to the test do I have to stop multivitamins etc that contain iron and biotin? Thank you!

Scientists in Japan found that PD patients have messed up guts that inhibit the absorption of b2(riboflavin)and b7 (biotin) That deficiency causes leaky gut where toxins are released into the bloodstream and causes neuro inflammation.

I know not to take anything with biotin normally and Dr Google says there's none in B6 just wondering what you would do. It's just for a routine gp blood test including tsh, I private test normally for tsh, ft3 and ft4 but just wondered for my future blood tests.

I felt a little bit better but had another blood test on 5th June and my result was TSH 3.01 and my T4 13.7 I'm feeling tired all the time again so do you think I need to increase my dose again.I take supplements, complex B and Biotin as I am loosing a lot of hair,which is also distressing.

I went to a dermatologist who recommended , I take viviscal hair tablets ( not cheap) biotin tablets and then on prescription extrovex shsmpoo. Plus every other night I go to bed with rosemary oil and almond oil mixed with a Protopic ointment rubbed into my hair and scalp.

I know if someone is on statins it has to be avoided I know to avoid Biotin before blood tests but is Nicotimamide ok?

Hi - does a B complex without biotin exist? I am currently on 3 times a week B12 injections - long term - so I want to keep taking a B complex to keep the other Bs in balance, but I would also like to do a thyroid test soon. Any suggestions? Thanks

No biotin.

(I stopped my pre-natal one week before because of possible biotin interference with second test)

I am due for follow up blood work and just remembered that biotin interferes with the test results. How far in advance must I quit taking my B complex which has 100% daily requirement of Biotin? My last TSH a few months ago was .03, super low for me. I usually run between 1.5 and 2.

Hello, I had to have a thyroid blood test due to imminent surgery so only had 3 days notice. I had stopped my b complex (PinkTribe liposomal b complex) 3 days before the test. The result of the T4 was 25 (11 - 21) whereas the test I had about 3 weeks ago at my Gp, when I had stopped the b complex,

Why would they assume there is a problem with Biotin without even testing for it? Biotin did nothing except make my hair and nails grow faster. Why are docs so useless. Sorry for the rant.

Hi had blood test as recommended early in day & no levo for 24 hours, no biotin for a week etc. I am wanting an increase in dose by 25mcg which will take me to 75mcg- for weight recommended dose is 100mcg! Still symptomatic! Also now on ppi plus change of Bp meds, an anti flam & Hrt!
