Liked the product but was advised to discontinue use by Dr. due to bloodwork and effect on lab results. Apparently it can cause false readings on certain tests related to heart. Otherwise it was a good purchase

I know 10 mg is a little bit much, but hey whatever you don’t absorb you just pee away it’s not like you can get biotin toxicity with 10 mg. Hopefully, it is well absorbed and goes to the head, highly unlikely in my opionion as a future pharmacist. But you know …I have this hope and you can’t beat the price. It tastes a little funny but no biggie.

I’ve been taking this product for 6 weeks. At the same time I also started taking a multi-vitamin, so taking 11,000 mcg of biotin daily. I started to gradually notice less hair loss about a week ago. I wrote this product review today because I just finished washing my hair and blow drying, followed by Keratin flat-iron straightening process (another review) which included product application, round brush blow drying, and flat ironing. The hair I lost in the process, including initial washing/blow drying, is what one would call norma”. I can say that I’ve reduced hair loss by a minimum of 40%, fairly easy to calculate based on the wads of hair I was losing before. ***Female, written under husband’s account.

I absolutely love NOW products (vitamins, essential oils, etc…).
When it comes to vegan vitamins and products, NOW is the first brand that I go to.
Unfortunately, I was having hair loss issues and needed to add some biotin to help with hair loss and growth.
NOW Biotin was the perfect choice.
Pros:
1. NOW is a very good and dependable brand!
2. NOW Biotin has helped with hair loss and overall condition of my hair.
3. Easy to swallow (may be a little large for some, but the size does not bother me).
4. Really doesn’t have a taste/after-taste
5. Typically take in the afternoons with my dinner
6. VEGAN Biotin pills
7. Easy to get/order
8. Highly recommend NOW foods to others (especially Biotin).
Cons:
No cons for me.
Overall, I will purchase again and highly recommend to others.
Biotin is very good for hair and nails.

Definitely would recommend if you have thin hair or thin nails. I dye my hair a lot and it has been falling out a lot, but I started taking these and my hair has gotten a lot healthier. It got shinier, and my nails are growing faster and thicker now. I would definitely recommend buying these, especially if you have used acrylics in the past and are gmtrying to grow your nails out. Plus they are a great price!

These work pretty great. I’m a male since taking these my nails have grown so strong and long. Had to cut em multiple times from the growth so quickly. My hair is also much thicker after about a month. Only problem the pills are huge and a Lil tough the swallow

I like to take Biotin because it helps promote healthy hair. I heard that some brands of Biotin can cause you to break out, however I have not experienced that with these vitamins. I like Now supplements because I know they are high quality and they are not too expensive. I have also bought other supplements by this company and I have been a happy customer for over ten years.

Only 4 stars so far because I haven’t been taking it too long to tell a huge difference yet. I’ve been sick for 6 months with C. diff. Having a intestinal bacterial infection makes it so your body has issues absorbing B vitamins and vitamin K. My hair was falling out in clumps. I was so devastated over it! So far in the shower I am losing about half of what I normally do. I currently have my time of the month so my iron is low, causing more hair fall. I will update in future when results are more accurate! I’ve taken before pictures and in a few months I will post results! Definitely recommend taking in combination with pantothenic acid. When you have one or the other in surplus, the other becomes deficient. That’s why some people who take biotin end up with acne. Biotin is for hair and nails, pantothenic acid is for acne! Hope this helps!
UPDATE:
it’s been 3 weeks since starting and my hair has definitely grown over an inch! I am so so happy with this. Still recommend taking it with pantothenic acid.
UPDATE (7/10/20)
My hair is filling in so well & my nails always look really nice. I definitely still recommend these!(: I’ll skip biotin and only take pantothenic acid for a day or two. Sometimes too much biotin will break me out if I don’t skip it.

I take this for my fingernails. My nails were brittle and thin until I started taking Biotin, and now they are must improved in a short time. Be sure to take with a protein meal. They are easy to swallow and do not have any taste.

I’m in my late 40s & I’m losing hair like crazy. I’ve been taking biotin for about 5 months now. It hasn’t stopped the shedding but I’m growing new hair. My nails are also stronger.

This is a great pill to swallow. There is no flavor of an after taste when swallowing. My hair has gotten much stronger. It’s not falling out by the hand full anymore.

My husband’s Neurologist prescribed high biotin for him, and I take it for hair, skin, and nails. I recently found a website that is an independent lab that tests supplements. My old brand of biotin didn’t test good, so that’s why I chose this brand. It rates good on quality, purity, doing what it claims, etc.
These are medium clear capsules filled with powder and easy to swallow.

This has grown my hair INCHES. My hair was at my neck in May and is now past my shoulders, in October. It has also grown my lashes. I used to eyelash extensions, but I stopped because I developed an allergy to the glue. I was so heartbroken because my lashes were short and scarce. But now, they are sooo long. People are always asking me if they’re real!
Please buy this product! And most importantly, take it regularly, as it takes a few weeks/months to notice the results.

Became very ill three years ago and nearly kicked my bucket. As I slowly began recovering I also began noticing a tremendous amount of hair loss. I used a biotin shampoo and conditioner for over a year and the hair loss seemed a little less but whatever hair regrew grew back extremely fine and thin. All this came as a dreadful shock as I’d always had tons of shiny thick hair.
Perhaps it’s just this brand, but this whole bottle of biotin didn’t do too much for me. I’ve had precious little hair regrowth, I still have far more hair loss than I ever had before I got sick, and it’s still very fine and thin. On the plus side this biotin did not make me break out, my hair has grown about a foot and a half in the last two years, and my nails look better than they ever have – and they no longer split. Speaking of split, I no longer have the tons of split ends in my hair that I used to have.
Not giving up on biotin – just trying another brand.

I noticed a difference within about 3 weeks of using these! I take 2 a day and it really seems like they are helping with hair growth!

I got this for energy but I started to notice that my eczema was much more manageable. I didn’t expect this. When I stopped taking it I noticed my eczema would easily flare up again. When taking biotin (1 pill a day) it seems to allow my eczema cream to work better.
I originally got it for energy. Not sure if it made a difference in energy.

I originally bought this because I felt my hair had been falling out more than usual. I do see a lot of baby hairs growing so I do feel like it’s helping my hair but I’ve seen the most improvement in my lashes. My right lashes would always fall out and I had one little patch of my eye that would look empty because the lash would fall out when I curled them. Well without thinking much about it I curled my lashes the other day and not only is the patch gone, but there are a few more strands of thick lashes where there only used to be one. My lashes are the fullest they’ve ever been and I am thrilled! I will continue to take these to help my hair as well. I’ve only been taking them for 2 months so it works prettt well and fast for anyone who has a lash problem. Highly recommend!
