Mary Ruth's liquid vitamin

bargainsgirl — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 02:12:53 GMT

So just what are the ingredients besides what is listed on the bottle which is hard to read. 10,000 mcg of biotin seems like alot. Very pricey for a month's supply[...

Agree with you re the Biotin. That does seem like a lot.

The daily suggested intake of biotin is around 30 to 100 mcg. But some supplements offer way more, as high as 10000 mcg in one dose. So, is 10000 mcg biotin too much? That amount is not harmful for most people. Biotin is safe even in high doses, as the body throws out the extra through urine.

In addition to that 10,000 mcg of biotin it also contains another type of biotin, brand name Lustriva, which is suppose to be a highly bioavailable form of biotin good for hair growth. Lustriva is an expensive ingredient.

Does it actually contain Lustriva and an addl. 10000 mcg Biotin, I think the Lustriva contains the Biotin and there is no addl. That would be way overkill on Biotin. I take Lustriva tablets and one is 10000 mcg total, that is what Lustriva is made from. No need for any addl. 10000 mcg is max.

Be sure to read reviews on this product, some say it made them sick to their stomach. I would much rather take a tablet or capsule. Price is $15 more today than last night. You can find this many places.

@Shelbelle

The Lustriva is listed as a separate ingredient b/c it a biotin complex and a proprietary blend containing a few other components.

But I would think the total biotin is 10,000 mcg, I read about the item on Mary Ruth website and it is confusing but I did get the impression the total is 10000 mcg, anyone knows this is the max amt daily. It is very confusing and their label should be explained and clarified. .

Biotin gave me awful headaches. After 3 days I stopped taking it and headaches went away. Can't remember now how much I was taking as it was some time ago that it happened. If it's a low amount, it doesn't seem to bother me though.

Unusual, biotin is known to have zero side effects, just to stop it a week or so prior to blood work.

Yes, that's right. Total biotin is 10,000 mcg but the Lustriva part of that includes additional components attached to the biotin to make their proprietary complex.

@Shelbelle - I remember being a bit surprised but it was the only new vitamin that I added and as soon as I stopped taking it, the headaches stopped. Decided I didn't want to try again.

If you look up Lustrivia it explains what it is and possible side effects. Not sure if I would want to try this...

@bargainsgirl @Shelbelle Lustrivia : It is a hormone modulating medication that may improve hormonal balance and enhance quality of life when prescribed correctly by qualified healthcare professionals. However, long term use should be approached with caution, and regular monitoring of hormone levels is necessary to ensure they remain within desired ranges. Dosage adjustments may be required over time, and ongoing evaluation helps mitigate potential risks associated with prolonged treatment.
