Biotin's Affect on PSA Results
Can someone tell me the impact of
Biotin
on PSA? (My last PSA results include a comment that
Biotin
could lower my PSA. Did not say how much.)

Biotin for hair thinning and loss - dosage advice please?
I have read several postings about taking
biotin
to improve hair condition and regrowth and have looked through the FAQs but am unable to find any help on dosage. It seems that anything from 30 micro grams to 10,000 is available to buy, without any guidelines as to how much is advisable daily.

Post pregnancy underactive thyroid
She’s had a blood test today and this morning I read a post from Thyroid UK about products containing
Biotin
can affect the results. I know she’s been taking a supplement for her hair for a few years and apparently this contains
biotin
.

A breath of fresh air - positive
She also asked me if I was taking
Biotin
in my previous test (as it was lower between two higher results) as it interferes etc etc.

Taking a Covid antibody test. Stopping supplements
I’m aware that for a thyroid test you have to stop taking
biotin
one week prior to test so I assume the same thing applies to a Covid antibody test? TIA

Paper showing which thyroid hormone assays are sensitive to biotin
It identifies those test manufacturers whose methods use
biotin
which disturbs thyroid function tests amongst others.

A query about blood testing.
At present I’m taking Igennus Super B-Complex x2 daily (with900 ug methylcobalamine) I know to stop these a week before test due to the
biotin
skewing the results, But I’m wondering if my levels will give a false reading due to taking the supplement?

Advice on thyroid blood test please
Lately I have been getting numbness and pins and needles in my hands and feet and put it down to lack of B12 as my GP reduced my injections so I got some bloods done from medichecks but they state my b12 is ok and my thyroid levels are contradictory and that it might be down to taking
biotin
, but I haven't

Diagnosis - Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia
Fell across this as I'd actually just been wondering if any of the current B12 assays are affected by patients taking
biotin
, especially high-dose
biotin
, prior to a B12 test. Anyone know? FlipperTD

What is the effect of
biotin
? Does it impact thyroid functions or the TSH blood test?

Biotin Can Affect Labs
So I looked up vitamin supplements affecting labs and found that if there is
biotin
in the supplement it can. This is just one of many articles - labtestsonline.org/articles/
biotin

Hair falling out with Piqray?
I do have some hair, skin and nails supplements with
biotin
, but haven't been good to take them. I'm sure there's also a better shampoo than what I'm using. I've been bald before and in the grand scheme of things, it's not the worst thing that can happen. But I'd rather not - haha!
