I take 5 x 10,000mcg Biotin caps with every meal for 2 months prior to going to Mexico for the last 5 years. They are an over the counter natural vitamin supplement. There are no side effects and no way to overdose. Biotin is not Vitamin b. They are 2 different supplements. I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician & you can check out all this info on the web. I have never seen much difference in my lashes, but it really gives my hair growth an amazing Boost before I go!
Oh, that's just not good at all. I will have to keep trying to find just Biotin...I tried in my neighbourhood, but the pharmacy said they would have to special-order it. That's why I tried the collagen/biotin supplement, which WAS great for my skin. Just didn't get the lash effect.
Harder to find here in Canada, it seems. I've been to a drugstore and two major health food chains and no one has a higher dose than 1000. I'd have to take 10 pills!

I like the idea of better eye lashes, but certainly don't want to encourage growth of hair anywhere else, so don't think I could use this! False are out because I'd ruin them in a couple of days. What I've found that works for me is a powerful waterproof mascara at night, which even a ton of make up remover before bed doesn't get completely out. It doesn't drip or run in water after that. I also use an oil-based eye liner on the top lid and that works well enough for me for during the day. Don't trust liquid eye liners that say 'waterproof'. They lie. Only oil-based products have any chance at actually being waterproof.
1000 mcg is what I have Karen and I take two a day and my hair and eyelashes are doing great. My hairdresser is gonna go what the f$%^^k I just cut it a month ago. But just notice yesteday how my eyelashes are filling in and also I have issues with my nails cause of the alcohol at work. They aren't breaking as much either like they were before taking it. I am gonna add some at supper and see how much difference it makes. And as for the resh of the hair, my brazillian is booked for the 12th. Lol most of it was lasered away a few years ago.
