You have probably seen high dose biotin supplements promoted as the quick fix for hair loss, thinning or brittle hair.
While they may sound tempting, taking very large amounts can sometimes do more harm than good. High dose biotin has been linked with inaccurate blood test results and can mask what is really going on in your body.
On the other hand, whole food sources of biotin are safe, balanced and give your body a lot more than just one nutrient. Eggs, nuts, seeds and sweet potatoes are great examples that provide biotin along with other vitamins, minerals and proteins your hair and scalp also need. Whole food biotin works with your body naturally, rather than forcing one single nutrient in large amounts.
Every person is different and what works for one may not work for another. Sometimes the real reason behind hair thinning or hair loss has nothing to do with biotin at all. That is why getting a correct diagnosis and support can save you a lot of time, money and stress in the long run.
