Hurray for Biotin!/Shirley

Hi Shirley,

The skin on the back of my hands was looking very odd, not wrinkled but almost

like it had been melted somehow. I've only been taking biotin for a short time,

about a week, but I am already seeing small signs of improvement. It's also

supposed to be good for the hair.

For many years I've been taking alpha lipoic acid (to prevent neuropathy), but

as beneficial as it has been, I know it can compete with  biotin and interfere

with its activity in the body. Maybe the reason I've had a quick positive

response to biotin is that I've been deficient in biotin for some time?

I will continue to take a 5000 mcg supplement for the time being, but eventually

I will make a point of incorporating foods that are rich in biotin into my way

of eating.

Thanks for the tip!

I haven't seen any difference yet - but have been trying that too.

Goodness - mine's only 500mcg - does that mean I have to take 20 capsules?
