Biotin 7500 Safe To Take?

Seems like a big amount...but I'm desperate.

A friend of mine shared this with some friends and myself back in November as she has a Hair loss problem. She was taking the 500mcg daily for some time. I decided to do it as I have thyroid issues and noticed my hair falling out {prior to surgery}. I went to the drug store and found Biotin 5000mcg and decided on buying that. Of course, the old mentalitiy, whether it be eating or anything, bigger is better. I've been using it up until the last two weeks or so as I've noticed my hair drying out. I'm not sure if it's from the biotin because my Dr switched me from one anti-depressant med to Cymbalta around the same time I started with Biotin. I'm actually doing a process of elimination to see if it's one or the other, or perhaps the two together. Who knows. But I will say, I did notice an improvement in my hair in thickness even after having the surgery in late January.

I take a 1000mg which is the recommended daily amount. 7500 I would check with your doctor or nurse. Good luck!

I take 5000 (capsul is tick tack sized); have never seen 7500. I buy my Vitamins in the drug store however and not a Vitamin store. They might carry have higher doses at those type of stores. Talk with your doctor though.

Update I went to Vitamin World today. I bought more Biotin and it was 5000 it is time released. So what your body doesnt need you just will pee it out.
