Biotin is the primary vitamin found in Hair, Skin, and Nails supplements that you purchase over the counter. If you take a multivitamin, I say cut out the extra fillers and take the most effective part, the Biotin. You can buy Biotin over the counter at your local drug store. I personally use Nature Made or CVS brand (especially when they are buy one bottle get one free). I love a good sale chile! I would recommend a dose of about 1000 mcg daily for a healthy adult.

Along with using my ol' faithful Neutrogena topical products, Biotin helps to keep my nails strong and skin clear. I have gone without Biotin and I can definitely recognize a terrifying difference. I drink more water than any other beverage and we must replenish our bodies with the appropriate nutrients if we want to look fly and not flakey. Besides it won't be Winter forever and you are going to want to take off those long sleeves sooner or later.

I love GNC's Hair, Skin and Nails vitamin for Women, I have gotten off of my daily regimen, but this bitter cold is going to force me to pick it back up. Right now skin, after showering seems so dry and itchy. During this tiem of year I make it a point to use a thicker lotion like Nivea, Dermacil, or Eucerine...not all of them smell the best, but my skin absolutely LOVES the moisture. I also try not to use too much of the smell good lotions during this season, and just use the body spray AFTER lotioning w/ the thicker lotion. Just an idea to throw out there.
ReplyDeleteBiotin is one of my favorite vitamins, it has my hair growing longer and healthier and keeps my skin clear. What dosage do you recommend?
ReplyDelete@ Mickie J: I definitely agree with your suggestion to change moisturizers in the colder months. I was actually watching Dr. Oz and he had an Esthetician on his show talking about the benefits of using ointments like Eucerin in the winter and eating more fatty fish to combat dry skin.
ReplyDelete@faithfully motivated:I recommend about a 1000 mcg pill daily if you are a healthy adult. That's plenty.
