Biotin side
effects - Are there any?
Biotin,
also referred to as vitamin H, is a water-soluble B vitamin. The body
only needs a very small amount of biotin. Biotin is shown to be
effective in treating brittle finger and toe nails. There's even
evidences to show that it might be helpful in reducing the symptoms of
nerve problems (peripheral neuropathy) in those suffering from diabetes.
Biotin deficiency is very
rare indeed. Experts suggest that the body only needs about 30
microgram (mcg)
daily of biotin.
Side effects from taking biotin have not been
reported. Even extremely
high doses of biotin (10,000 mcg or 10 milligrams) used in animals and
humans did
not result in any significant side effects.
Rest
assured that taking too much biotin would not cause any problems based
on the research studies that are available. However, it is important to
take high doses of biotin under the supervision of a healthcare
professional.
