The Great Nail Experiment - Day Three

I missed Day Two but believe me, day two looked just like Day One. So, far I have been diligent with my supplements and am careful not to take too much Biotin because an overabundance of it can lead to acne. A lovely reader informed me of this which was my jump off point to do a little more research on the effects of Biotin and the skin.

Jude, try taking prenatal vitamins. I started using them when I was trying to get pregnant 4 years ago. Due to other medical problems I haven't gotten pregnant, but my hair and nails have grown like weeds. I take Nature Made's Prenatal vitamins that I buy at Costco. Hope that helps. :)

Heya Jude! I just wanted to let you know that, since biotin is a water soluble vitamin (you might have known that already) you should be pretty safe even if you ever accidentally take too much. It's like Vitamin C----take too much and you just pee out the excess :P

Let us know what happens with your experiment :)

Hiya Lady, don't worry too much about the biotin, like "aokanojo" was saying it's really unlikely you'll have a problem and if you do it's usually just one pimple and you can cut back or treat, LOL.

It does take a long time to see results though, like up to six month +, so be patient ;~)
