  1. Thanks Dr. Neda! I would really like if you could share some nutrition and health-eating tips for weight loss. Thanks again!

  2. are they good for baldness, my mom has hair loss not from any illness

  3. @redtea53: If this is female pattern baldness that your mom is suffering then it should be tackled from all angles. Although the biotin itself won’t cure the baldness it will help hair quality and texture. In addition she should try Nioxin shampoo (watch my video for more info) and Rogaine for women. Also, all medical illnesses should be ruled out (I touched on the different ones in my Nioxin video). thanks for the question and please subscribe if u liked my video:)

  4. Hello,
    I have fine hair as well, which is not a trait that run in my family, and I am anemic. My question is does it make the hair stronger? I ask because I have taken a hair supplement by the Nexxus brand, Vitatress, and it made my hair grow faster but it was still breaking off badly. Please help :/

  5. @nerd637: Anemia could be contributing to your hair loss and by increasing the iron in your diet that might help to decrease your hair loss (iron can be found in beef, tofu, beans etc). Biotin I have found does make my hair stronger but I also use Nioxin system which is similar to Vitatress in that it has DHT inhibitor and amino acids but I have not tried Vitatress personally. If you want check out my video on Nioxin as well if u find Vitatress doesn’t improve your hair in a couple of months.

  6. @nerd637 also, in addition to my last comment to you I recommend if the the biotin supplements and nioxin system doesn’t work to add rogaine for women to your regimen which will help with hair loss:). hair loss is tough and I have been dealing with it for years. I am going to do a video on home remedies and hair masks so please subscribe and stay tuned!!!

  7. Is biotin safe for children

  8. @candice0816 : Maximum dosages for children have not been established as far as what is beneficial for hair loss etc. I am not a pediatrician and am not quite as sure about usage in children but from what I have read children only need 30micrograms/day which is about 100x less than what adults take for hair loss. Sorry but there is just no good data out there to know how much can be given to a child less than 17 years old! thanks for the question and please subscribe:)

  9. Dr. Neda, what kind of doctor are you?

  10. @graceandpeace09 : I am an Internal Medicine MD so I treat patients above 18 years old:). Let me know if you have any questions or comments and please subscribe:)

  18. where can i find it as i m in uk pls help…..!!

  19. Hello

    I’ve been taking Biotin for a little over a year (on and off) and i’ll say that it reeeeally DOES WORK! But you’re the first person to suggest to take biotin 3x Daily(I take it once a day)…I take a multi-vitamin as you suggested and I notice my hair stronger and grow faster…within a month my has grew a lot and there was a noticeable difference.
    I would recommend this to everyone!
    I’m very satisfies with biotin and continue taking them. Great review on this product!

  20. I heard of this really great shampoo and conditioner called mane’n tail and I was wonder if you would try it and do a review, thanks!

  21. Dr Neda
