How should I take biotin?
When considering the use of herbal supplements, seek the advice of your doctor. You may also consider consulting a practitioner who is trained in the use of herbal/health supplements.
If you choose to use biotin, use it as directed on the package or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare provider. Do not use more of this product than is recommended on the label.
Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).
Biotin can cause false results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using biotin.
The recommended dietary allowance of biotin increases with age. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions. You may also consult the Office of Dietary Supplements of the National Institutes of Health, or the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Nutrient Database (formerly "Recommended Daily Allowances") listings for more information.
It may take 3 to 6 months before the condition of your hair or nails improves.
Call your doctor if the condition you are treating with biotin does not improve, or if it gets worse while using this product.
After you stop using biotin, your nails will likely return to their original condition within 6 to 9 months.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
