Wow I took biotin a while back but I can't remember if I had a lot of growth from it.

So do you guys think the 5mg biotin would be better than 5000 mcg? I don't see the 5mg on the Puritan website though.

Hi, If you do a search for "biotin" only it should show up as super biotin 5000mcg

Hey Candy_C (lovely head of hair by the way!!!!!:D :) :p ) is the 5mg tablet a decent size? cause i take the 1000mcg one but 6 of them daily (6mg) and i like the fact that its small like skittles but i always finish my bottles real quick as i take 6 every day, i m really wondering if the 5mg is small enough it may save me time and money if i have to only swallow one biotin instead of 6!thanks girl i appreciate!:)

I can't wait for my order. Lord, I hope mine don't take forever. I sent a money order. But couldn't pass up on the sale, though. How often do they have sales like this?

Well, I am not Candy_C but I take 5mg Biotin from Vitamin Shoppe. It's very small and that is what I love about it. Smaller than a skittle and skinny. I would say it is just a tad bit longer than a tick tack.

**Edited to include link. They have a sale this month. Buy one get one Half off. Not bad. It's time for me to get more anyway.

They have a bottle of 120 for 14.39 and a bottle of 60 for 8.99.

Ladies who ordered and received the Puritan Pride Biotin.......what size are the pills??

The Puritan Pride biotin are not tiny. I bought mine earlier this year, but I keep slacking on them. They're skinny, to me, but longish. I have no problem swallowing them. Definitely not skittle-sized, though.

You're welcome! Maybe you should try them, though. I probably have a warped sense of size, because I take mostly tiny pills, so the biotin seems big. I just took one, and it was a breeze swallowing it.

Which one are you guys taking?

The one on the right is the one I am taking; the one on the left is just one B vit (I use the time-release B-Complex 50 to help the biotin work better and for energy).

How many of the 5mg Puritan Biotin are you taking a day? I take 2 a day, but is that too much or too little?

I went to the Vitamin Shoppe in the Houston Galleria and I asked the person working there about Pilgrim's Pride Biotin and he said that Puritan's Pride and Vitamin Shoppe are the same company. So I bought the 5 mg of Vitamin Shoppe Biotin.

I only take one. It is water-soluble, so whatever the body does not need, it will flush out.

The Puritan Pride biotin did nothing for my hair glad to hear it worked for you.
Freeda Biotin has given me the best results its 10mg and worth every penny.

I use Freeda too. It's been a while since I've taken those. I think right now I'm gonna make a tropical fruit smoothie and add some liquid aminos to it, order some more MSM as I'm running low, and take my Nioxin and Freeda Biotin, cause I've been sooooo very lazy these past months and looking at Candy's album I am inspired to say the least.

hell I might snack on a can of tuna just plain for the hell of it...and keep my butt on the hair forum instead of the entertainment section because looking at pics of Bey day in day out is not helping my growth at all.:lachen:
