My personal physician told me that Biotin's role is multi-faceted and the vitamin is used for a number of different purposes. 1) Hair, Skin, Nails: Biotin is said to help grow healthy hair, is good for the skin and is used to help treat brittle toe and fingernails. Biotin is also used to treat hair loss (alopecia), and for people with premature gray hair due to low levels of biotin, it has helped combat graying hair. 2) Treatment of Candida: Some people use biotin to treat Candida because it is said to be able to prevent yeast from changing into its fungal form. 3) Fat Burner: Biotin is often enhanced as a "fat burner" because one of the principle roles of biotin is to help with the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbs. 4) Reduce Blood Sugar: In some cases, doctors recommend biotin to help people with type 2 diabetes reduce their blood sugar. 5) Gene Replication: On a deeper level, biotin is integral for gene replication. 6) Blood Cells and Bone Marrow: Biotin also helps in the production of healthy blood cells and bone marrow. My hair was thinning from working at a very stressful job. It had gotten to the point where I couldn't successfully make a ponytail. I decided to have a try. After using the Biotin for 3 months, along with Super Collagen( http://goo.gl/tEoA3 ) and L-Cysteine( http://goo.gl/0fzXK ). I am happy to report stronger, thicker hair. I haven't seen much growth in the length, but it is very much thicker, prettier, and more manageable. It's so much so that my hairdresser was very surprised! When I went to her to get a trim 2 months after the last haircut, it had grown to the level which would normally have taken 3 months at least to reach :) Don't miss visiting my iherb page at http://goo.gl/6cJcf to get special reduction and picking a free product at http://goo.gl/qHkLE before putting your order!

since I've been using this product my hair grew so much. I have to color my hair at least once a month because my roots start to show. Not bad at all!

Excellent product, just remember at 1000 mcg it is only a low dose compared to the 5000 mcg caps and some may have to take more than one capsule per day

I've been using this product for about 10 months now, and I have to say that my hair has grown in much fuller than it has in several years. It is also a good bit less unruly which may or may not be due to the biotin, but it is nice to have all this extra hair to wonder about.

On the advice of my nutritionist, I've been taking Biotin for a couple of years now and there's a definite difference (strengthening) of my fingernails which used to break and split all the time. Again, I like NOW products because they are of high quality and are reasonably priced.
