Do Biotin Pills Really Help To Make Hair Grow Faster?
Are biotin pills really effective in promoting hair growth at a faster rate? According to several dermatologists, the answer to this question is YES.
Biotin is popularly known as a vitamin for hair growth. Besides, it also helps in the maintenance of bones, nerves and blood.
Basically, biotin is a part of vitamin B complex group and is also called vitamin H or vitamin B7. It aids in the absorption of proteins and glucose, thereby aiding in faster hair growth, nail growth, skin dryness etc.
This water soluble vitamin is naturally synthesized by yeast, bacteria, fungi, and algae.
These micro organisms (the “good ones”) are normally present in the body, to be specific, the intestines. Therefore, people usually do not have biotin deficiencies. But, those who do suffer from this nutritional deficiency are likely to develop symptoms like hair loss, brittle nails etc.
So, taking biotin pills for hair growth and controlling hair loss is an effective solution, provided there are no other underlying conditions such as hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorder, lupus and other such diseases that adversely affect healthy hair growth.
Biotin pills work even better when taken along with other B vitamins like vitamin B3, B5, B6, B12 and iron. Inclusion of other vitamins promotes healthy growth of hair.
Moreover, it is better not to rely on shampoos and conditioners containing biotin. Rather, you should opt for supplements and biotin pills to stimulate fast hair growth.
The rationale behind this suggestion is that biotin is a water soluble vitamin that is not absorbed by skin effectively. Therefore, it works best when ingested orally, not by the use of topical treatments.
Adult men and women can take about 30 to 100 mcg of biotin per day. So far, excess intake of biotin has not been associated with any serious side effects. Though, it may give rise to acne breakouts.
Discuss with your doctor about proper dosage of biotin supplement appropriate for you, especially if you have been taking antibiotic or anticonvulsants for a long time as they tend to reduce biotin levels in the body.
However, if you are expecting that biotin pills will do wonders overnight in growing your hair then you need to understand that these nutritional supplements are not magic pills that will increase the rate at which your hair grow to the speed of light.
FDA approved multivitamins and nutritional supplements containing biotin help to enhance the process of hair growth.

Hello, im brittany, i am a cosmetologist, and ive been wearing extensions since I was 14 I am now 21. I have decided that I want my own hair to grow and feel beautiful as myself! Ive been taking biotin everyday now for about a month and have noticed some growth in my hair….But since im so used to just clipping in some tracks to add that length, its killing me not to be able to. I take 5000mcg, but what people dont realize is that biotin is helping put that protien into your hair, and hair is mainly made up of protien…im going to keep up with the biotin everyday and report anymore signs of hair growth….you have to be patient, hair is also a living thing and takes a little time…..sincerely, impatient little lady

Anandhi…I have not heard of Biotin being sold in India like in the US. You could check for prenatal tablets that women who are pregnant or wanting to be pregnant take…in the ingredients there might be biotin. Otherwise you can look at sites like Ebay or Amazon and order online…they might be expensive but the tablets are really worth it.

Hi, my husband loved my long hair when we first were married 5 years ago. One day I allowed my sister to style and cut my hair, well she cut about 5 inches off. I showed up at home with my hair to my shoulders and it was not a pleasant thing when my husband saw me. So I actually loved my long hair down my back. I started taking biotin 5000mcg about 3 months ago, and several weeks ago at work I began to get compliments on how long and pretty my hair is getting. I hadn’t even realized, then several days later my husband said so glad your hair is nearly the length it was…I was taking one capsule daily my nails have always grown but had problems with peeling and splitting. This I noticed a difference in as well very strong, good natural color and not splitting or peeling…I will continue to take biotin, I believe it works that is the only thing different that I take and my hair never has grown so fast so soon…

Since Biotin is a water soulable pill, You HAVE to take water while on the pill, so that you won’t have as many breakouts. I would say about 16 oz. of water a day. I normally take 36 oz. of water a day, but at least 16 oz. I say that Biotin DOES work, and in 3 weeks, I saw an inch of growth. That’s awesome for me. and I am of African American and Cherokee, and White descent, but mostly African American. So just DRINK ALOT OF WATER while on the pill, and you won’t see as many breakouts as your usually supposed to have due to puberty. Biotin does work guys. Have a great day. I hope this cleared out the confusion and the debate. God Bless.

I am 15 and I’ve been taking Biotin daily now for a month now. I started with 1000 mg and gradually worked my way up to 3000 mg. I figured I don’t need as much as 5000 mg for hair growth since my hair is already long and I’m young. I just want my hair to get thicker, does Biotin make my hair grow thicker or..? I really haven’t seen that much of a difference in my hair, length wise.. But then again I’ve only been taking it for about 1 month at 1000 mg at first. But massaging your scalp with rose water really helps. Even though I’m 15, I recommend taking a multi vitamin along with one capsule of fish oil. Also using almond oil in your hair. Umm.. Also I advise everyone to NOT brush there hair out while it’s wet/damp. If you do.. Please stop! It causes breakage in hair and ultimately makes for slower hair growth. I hope I helped! My hair length is down to my belly by the way!

I’m 19 and my hair is ALREADY thinning due to family history. I don’t like that it makes me feel like an old man, but if there’s nothing i can do because the genes, i can deal. However, i read that there’s no side affects to Biotin so i purchased 2500mcg pills the other day from target and have been taking 2 a day with plenty of water. I can say my nails are a bit stronger for sure, but i’ll have to report back if/when my hair thickens back up and grows. The BIG keyword here is “patience” i know it’s not an overnight miracle but i’m 19, i have plenty of time to nip this thing in the bud befofe it gets out of control. Good Luck everyone else!

Well from what i read from several places, the only side affect is some mild breakouts, but apparantly it can be avoided if you drink a lot of water everyday! For Biotin, you can safetly take up to 5000mcg (under 10,000mcg i think is fine) without a problem. The normal amount from food is around 350mcg but i take two pills of 2500mcg every day and feel GREAT!! The pill is water soluble, it is there when your body needs it buy excess amount get passed ouy through urine (to my kowledge) but i think the body uses as much as it can. @Tanisha:

I haven’t been taking biotin for very long, but I honesty have already seen results. my hairs not growing noticeably, but I remember when I first took it I had a lot of split ends — kept forgetting to cut them. now I just looked at my hair and it looks so healthy! I can’t find the split ends, and it doesn’t look like they broke off. health should take priority over beauty, and 1000-2000mcg of biotin a day supports healthy hair. Go for it!

These comments are definitely helpful! I just went out and bought Biotin (5,000mcg) and I am hoping it helps strengthen my hair and nails. I have plenty of split ends in my hair, and I would really love to grow it out longer. I bleached my hair last year (twice) and I decided that’s the worst idea I’ve ever had. My hair was like the straw/fake grass you put in Easter baskets… So now that I’ve dyed my hair darker, maybe this biotin will help c:

biotin pills are awesome xD now iwould like to get this straight though..biotin pillz dont make your hair grow FAST its just gives your hair the nutrients it needs to grow stronger. your hair grows on its own it just depends on how well you take care of your hair that shows the result ( race doesn’t matter!!) black ppl hair grows just as good as everyone elses..just stop putting those harsh chemicals (perm etc) in your hair..cuz you just damaging your hair and stay away from shampoos with SULFATE it strips your hair of its nutrients and makes it dry. wash your hair with organic shampoos and use organic products:) you will see a difference <3 just a lil tip for my sistas;) I'm hispanic and black …my curiousity led me to research african american hair even tho idont have it..:) hope icould help someone

I just cut an in off my hair and started taking the vitamin packs for women at gnc they have 6000 mcg of biotin…sio we will see how long it takes my hair to grow.also all hair grows at the same rate of 0.5 an inch per month no matter ur race. BLACK WOMEN stop relaxing ur hair those chemicals prevent hair growth cause breakage and brittle hair. My hair uys normally shoulder length it never got that long when I used to get relaxers! I kno natural girls with hair down their back. Look on youtube! U must take care of ur hair and body by drinking water hair needs water. If u don’t take care of ur hair as well as take vitamins ur hair will not grow. Trust me.

Hi, I’m Amanda and I’m currently 19 years old. My hair was directly at the point of my chin during July of last year. Now, it is slightly below my shoulders. I like cutting my hair to see a change, but I always regret it afterwards! Before I cut my hair, it was half way down my back; the perfect length! A few years ago, I was diagnosed with KP (Keratosis Pilaris), it affects the skin. It leaves tiny bumps on the skin and unfortunetly, it’s genetic so I can do nothing about it exept wait for them to die off. The hair should grow half an inch a month, so by this month, my hair should have been directly at my shoulder. So what did I do to get that extra half an inch? I’ve been using Vitamin E pills, and they work like a charm! Even my KP has minimized in size! I was so estatic at the result! I’ve been using these pills for about a month now and all I can say is that these pills will give you about 1 inch of hair per month. So instead of getting the usual 6 inches per year, you are now getting 12 inches per year! That’s a big difference! After breakfast, I take one pill and after dinner, I take one more. And that’s it! Hope this helped(:

It is recommended to take 100 mcg’s a day, if oyu are taking 2 – 3 pills a day, I think you may want to see what dosage you are taking because you may be taking too much. Most of the pills are 5000 mcgs. Sounds like you may 15,000 mcgs a day.

When I initial took Biotin I started breaking out really bad so had to stop. I did some research and found that if you take a zinc tablet along with the Biotin you won’t breakout. Amazing have been using zinc and Biotin for a year now and no breakouts. I was so happy. I hope this helps.

Ron, I have family history of thinning hair and have taken Biotin now for approx. 3 months. My hair has stopped falling out and I’ve noticed it is getting thicker on top. So Biotin really does work. I can see all the new hair growth. I bought Biotin at Sam’s Club. 250 tablets 5000 mcg. by Natrol $11. I have to admit I’ve been taking 2 a day. The dosage is one a day. After reading this blog, I will cut down to one. I have bought these at Walgreen’s but I believe they were 1000 mcg. The dermologist told me to take 500 mcgs a day for hair loss, so try it, what do you have to lose. it’s working for me.

@Tiana, hair grows about six inches a year for the average person. If you began taking the biotin and adding other foods rich in nutrients that assist in hair growth, you should see 10 inches in a year or a little over. Foods such as salmon, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, carrots and dairy products can keep your hair healthy and and help with your desired length. Oh and try to avoid excessive heat on your hair, bleaching agents, and over processing (perms..etc)

@Lexi, if you are over processing your hair with relaxers, heat, and other products, this can damage your hair causing split ends. If you can avoid relaxers and use natural oils such as olive oil and even moroccan oil, you will see an amazing change in the way your hair grows. If you are going to take a supplement for hair growth, only take the recommended dosage.
Also foods such as salmon, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, carrots and dairy products can keep your hair healthy and and help with your desired length.

Biotin Pills do Work. I’ve been using them for a month and already have had people tell me how great my hair looks. I think how fast you see results depends on the condition ones hair is but point is your hair will get a whole lot better DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

All I can say is biotin really works for hair. I’m a young black male, lost my hair in patches due to Alopecia areata. I was 17 when it started and nothing worked. Earlier this year before my 21st birthday I read that biotin worked, I was skeptical but went for it. I started it Feb and it’s Apr now… only ONE(1) patch left to be filled in. I’m overjoyed. I only took the biotin, no other supplements. I’m speechless, try it. At Walmart. Thought I’d share my story.

Actually, hair is contained of dead skin cells so only the root of your hair follicle is a living thing. If you massage your scalp with natural ingredients such as coconut oil and olive oils and avocado once or twice a week you should see good results with your hair growth along with your biotin supplements. Some have seen a whole inch to two inches in a matter of weeks doing it this way. Good luck! @Brittany:
