Have you found it losing its effectiveness? I started taking it almost 7 years ago. I never thought it helped my hair that much but it did help my eyelashes and nails. Lately I think it's not helping anymore. My lashes are falling out and sparse again and my nails aren't growing like they were. I used to have to trim them weekly to keep them the short length I like. I take 5 mg by the way.

i think it helps a lot with my nails, but have not found it to do anything for my hair or eyelashes. i have been using it for over a year.

You might need to take a break from it. Lay off for few months and then start again. I have heard the same thing with Rapid Lash. RL main ingredient is Biotin. The manufacturers of Rapid Lash say after length has been maintained, reduce use to maintenance (3 times a week). Then after maintenance the lashes may fall out. The CS agent said you need to stop use for 3 months. Then start in like a first time user. I would think this would be the same for oral Biotin capsules. I use 5,000 units 3 times a week

It did and still does make my hair and nails grow like wildfire. It's never made my lashes grow.

I think to grow lashes you need the liquid form, like Rapid Lash. L contains Biotin, pantheonal (sp) and other conditioners. It works!!!. Biotin really helps with skin, nails (especially) and it does help with hair. I am 66 and it gives me tiny hairs that fill in the scalp/ My Mom is 93 and darn near bald! Biotin at 3,000 a day helped her so much her hair stylist made the a positive comment to the growth!! Of course everyone is sooooo different! What works for me, or my Mother might not work for another.

I have been taking it for years and my hair and nails still grow fast. I went through chemo and kept taking it. My hair and nails (lost most of my nails too) grew back pretty quickly. I get a haircut every four weeks and it could be done sooner. I have to cut my nails back every other week because they grow so fast. They do not make my lashes grow faster, Frannie could you possibly have a health issue. You might want to check with your doctor. Just a thought.
Have a great day.

I have been taking Biotin for many years and afraid to stop taking it. The reason I started was to help my nails. Fortunately, I have always had thick hair so I don't need it for that purpose. As far as my lashes go, I use Latisse and I have the thickest, longest lashes now. The last time that I had lashes like these I was in my 30's.
