Hi,

Realized that should be " mcg " " (micrograms), not " mg " (milligrams) on the

dosing, from reading other posts.

> How much magnesium do you give with biotin. I was giving my almost 4 year old

son, 32lbs, 5mg of biotin per day but i didn't realize I should be giving

magnesium along with it. Do you give them at the same time?

If you are not noticing any constipation issues, you can try giving 200mg.  If

that

causes diarrhea, remove it.  If the constipation is not resolved wit 200mg, try

increasing to 400mg.

My son required 1000mg at first, because he was severely biotin deficient.  I

was able to reduce the dose as his body started absorbing the biotin.
