Biotin and Hair & Skin health

I don't know if biotin really helps or not because after using it for a while and having my thyroid testing done, the numbers were off. My brilliant endocrinologist picked up on it immediately and told me I needed to discontinue it prior to any labs. I mention this just in case there are some on thyroid meds.

There is more info at the American Thyroid Association page.

Welcome, @kikid. You will be able to add URLs to your posts in a few days. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. I believe this is the article from the American Thyroid Association you're referring to:

THYROID FUNCTION TESTS
Biotin supplement use is common and can lead to the false measurement of thyroid hormone in commonly used assays https://www.thyroid.org/patient-thyroid-information/ct-for-patients/december-2018/vol-11-issue-12-p-3-4/

Thanks for sharing the warning about biotin and how it can affect thyroid testing.

@rashida You can buy it on Amazon.

I've been taking biotin for hair for a few months already. I like how it works, my hair is getting really thinner, and I feel my nails are getting stronger. As for skin, I do not see much changes, but I have very deep wrinkles, so I'm not sure any supplement can help me in a few months. The brand is Nutraharmony, and I chose this biotin because it is combined with collagen and keratin, it's a very effective formula for me. I tried just biotin before, and the results were not that visible.

@judythjud do you mean your hair is getting real thicker, not real thinner as you wrote above?What brand biotin are you taking?

She wrote it was Nutraharmony brand.
