Jamieson Biotin Ultra Strength 10000mcg 90 softgels

Active Ingredient:

• Biotin (vitamin B7): 10,000mcg (33,333% Daily Value for adults)

Claimed Benefits:

• Promotes thicker hair, stronger nails, and healthier skin

Important Considerations:

• Extremely High Dose: 10,000mcg is an exceptionally high dose of biotin, far exceeding the recommended daily intake for most healthy adults (30mcg).
• Limited Evidence: While some studies suggest biotin may improve hair and nail health, the evidence is not conclusive.
• Potential Side Effects: High biotin intake can interfere with the accuracy of some medical lab tests, such as those for thyroid function. It may also cause digestive issues like nausea, diarrhea, and stomach cramps in some people.

Recommendations:

• Consult Your Doctor Before Use: This high dose is not suitable for everyone. Discuss Jamieson Biotin Ultra Strength 10000mcg with your doctor before taking it, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or take other medications.
• Focus on Underlying Causes: Brittle nails and hair loss can have various causes like nutrient deficiencies, medical conditions, or genetics. Consult your doctor to diagnose the underlying cause if you're experiencing these issues.
• Consider Dietary Sources: Biotin is naturally found in a balanced diet rich in eggs, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and some vegetables.
• Lower Dose Might Be Better: If your doctor recommends a biotin supplement for a specific reason, a lower dose (around 30-100mcg) is likely sufficient and avoids exceeding recommended intake.
• Follow Dosage Instructions (if applicable): If your doctor recommends this supplement for a specific reason, follow the recommended dosage carefully. Don't exceed the recommended intake without consulting your doctor.
