Biotin, MY FRIEND!

As we said in the first post, hair health, growth, and retention maximization is based on really working from the inside and on the outside to have your hair right. The first supplement we're highlighting on the working from the inside angle is Biotin. Biotin is a supplement in the B Vitamin family known as Vitamin H or B7. Its totally water soluble and known for both its metabolic properties (which helps give you energy) and its health benefits. When used on a regular basis, Biotin is known to help strengthen fingernails, relieve scalp conditions (especially in newborns), and SUPPORT HAIR GROWTH. I have personally been taking biotin as a supplement for over a year and when taking 5mg (5,000mcg) of biotin per day, I have always noticed a consistent and large amount of hair growth. My rate of growth with my hair is approximately one inch per month. Without taking the Biotin supplement, I have more of a 1/2" per month rate of growth. I personally take the NOW brand of biotin but any brand of should work fine as long as you are taking the 5mg dosage. I once accidentally decreased my dosage to 1mg (being cheap and not paying attention to the dosage) and did not see as much growth during that period of time. Feel free to do a google search on biotin and hair growth and hear the various testimonials of others on the topic.
