Experiences with

Biotin

Please HELP ME, having hypothyroidism taking 75mcg,recently I have done blood test gp said nothing wrong in lab report suggested biotin, I'm taking from two weeks but still no difference attaching lab report as well

the 17th July...it’s sent me from over to under I’ve been off it a week and feel amazing but obviously I need to start treatment in some shape or form, my endocrine consultation is on the 21st July with blood on the 17th, ideally I’d like to try and use natural treatment, I’ve started taking b12 and biotin

Vit A - 800ug RE , Vit D3ug, Vit E 12mg a-TE, Vit C 80mg, vit B1 1.1mg, Vit B2 1.4mg, Niacin 16mg NE, Vit B6 1.4mg, folic acid 200ug, vit B12, 2.5ug, biotin 50ug, pantothenic acid 6mg, iron 14mg, ▪︎ Calcium and Vit D x2 tablets daily (as directed on the container) I'm scheduled to take these at noon

She stopped all supplements a week before the test, so no biotin interference.

Test taken first thing in the morning before medication and several days after stopping biotin (contained in B complex).

I have tried Biotin to support my hair, again, after 1 capsule 500mg it triggers the same symptoms! I have tried B Complex (good quality) same reaction, same symptoms. I have tried a good quality Multi Vit just to test (as i know they are not advised on here) same symptoms.

I need help , I am on the desogestrel (progesterone only pill) I am wondering if I can take biotin while on this.

The other is a silly error on my part, I didn't realise the Igennus Super B complex had biotin until recently, so I hadn't stopped taking them before previous tests. I did before this one (stopped a week before). Don't know how much of a difference it makes, but could account for change maybe?

A common cause of peculiar thyroid results is the vitamin Biotin. If you are taking this then we recommend omitting it for at least 24 hours before your thyroid blood test. I recommend repeating your test to confirm the findings.

I don’t take any biotin.

If supplementing with Biotin it is recommended to stop taking Biotin 7 days before any blood tests. The last dose of any levothyroxine should be taken 24 hours before the blood test, taking a delayed dose immediately after the blood draw.

I take a multivitamin, biotin and fish oil already. I personally have not noticed my stomach feeling any better from when I’m taking them vs not taking them. Appreciate any thoughts!

I also take daily supplements, Vit C, B Complex (Biotin not listed as ingredient), Zinc+Copper, Selenium, D3+K2, B12 spray, Magnesium Oil and following my June bloods I added Iron 10 spray with a big effort to add more iron to my diet. I also follow a GF diet.

Does anyone have any update on the clinical trials ongoing or maybe completed regarding Biotin?

I'm taking biotin but have not used a nail strengthener regularly treating cuticles as I'm reading is recommended online today. Thanks and thoughts and prayers for all of my friends here on this site!

I’ve been taking Vitamin D 3000iu daily since Christmas, 200ug Selenium, 1000ug B12, B6 50mg, Pro Biotic x 1, Curcumin x 1 Levo dose is: 125mcg Teva brand Nothing with Biotin in. Fasted before bloods. Thanks in advance! 😀

Also currently taking biotin and iron tablets but all my other levels are tested fine. Its worrying as they cant find whats causing it so no telling if it will happen again. Feeling frustrated because no one seems to know and i get a different opinion each time, im losing trust.

I've tried a strengtheners, Biotin and so on. I am on Prednisone, Plaquenil, and Imuran; which can cause loss of hair but at this point a necessity. Are there any hair remedies???

During the study periods, three different assays (Biotin-Streptavidin from 1999-2004, IS-Liquid Chromatography from 2011-2012 and High-Performance-Liquid-Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry from 2013 onwards) were used; they have shown comparable testosterone values with only some additional accuracy

Can you take Biotin for hair loss when you take URSO ???
