Could Bloating Be Due To Biotin Intake?

Ok I m a 15 year old female I m taking 5,000 mcgs of biotin once a day. I started taking it because I ve heard taking biotin would help my nails and hair get stronger and thicker and they would grow longer but I ve becoming bloated horribly (im not on my menstrual cycle and I won t have it for 2 more weeks) should I stop taking it to get rid of my bloating.

Hello,

Biotin per se , is not seen to have any side effects and is largely free of toxicity unlike oter vitamins. Moreover, deficiency states can be treated with dioses as high as 10mg/day.

So your primary problem of bloating cant be attributed to it and hence biotin can be continued.

Hope this helps.
