Info on Biotin

[VictoriaG]

I've been taking 2000 mcg of biotin daily for months now. It makes my nails grow fast, but I want my hair to grow faster (trying to grow out awful layers), not my nails! I was trying to find out what the recommended dosage is, and I found this article. I think it's very interesting, especially because my bllod is type A+!

thanks for posting this, Vicki. I am a blood type A+ as well and it has taken me a hell of a long time to get my b vitamins up. this may explain why. Im going to start up with the Biotin again. I took it for a while and noticed that it made my nails grow SUPER quick but i did not notice any difference in my hair. Maybe now that I am off all medications, I will gve the biotin a chance again.:)

What does blood type have to do with hair loss and biotin? I too have been taking biotin ,and no results. Do not know my blood type duh??? will call mom and ask, maybe that is one of my problems? thanks

The link just seems to indicate that your blood type can affect the way you absorb some vitamins. I'd just been researching Biotin in general when I found the link, and it intrigued me because it specifically mentioned my blood type.

I have been taking biotin but no results yet. Maybe I need to take more.
